Burning Smell....
Took a trip to San Diego (About 3 1/2 hours from where I live) when I got to Sea World LOL
I noticed a burning smell, I checked the coolant, it was full, just got an oil change like 2 weeks ago so I ruled those out....All I've done recently was lower my car with a Pro-Kit. I'm gonna take another look in the daytime but, in the meantime any ideas on what it could be? I also added some subs and an amp professionally installed but, it was all normal until i took that trip...

RE: Burning Smell....
Hmmm I've heard of the plastic bag thing[
]I'll investigate that but, it seems to come more from the hood. Its not like a nausiating smell but, its definetly noticeable. The people that installed my subs said there was a "break-in" period for my subs for about 10 days but, I'm cautiaous with them, I dont push them (Even tho I'm SUPER tempted with Korn
) I checked the subs and amp after I got home last night and NOPE wasnt them...

Stale, sweet smell like gym socks = Coolant
Acrid/sour smell that really sticks to you = oil
Stinky egg smell = fuel
Plasticy almost burn your eyes smell - wiring
Gonna need to elaborate.
