somerandomguy Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) It started smelling bad? Isn't that the point when you pull over and check it? Maybe if you had 3, or even 30 feet then you keep driving. You should be really glad you didn't get home and get out and your whole car be on fire.. Especially whenever you *knew* something was wrong with it.. Edited July 9, 2010 by somerandomguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
