i got this one mustang checked out before i was going to buy it...the front brakes were locked up because water got in them during a flood. after every time i would drive it (test drove it about 3 times) it would smell like someone was welding when you stand outside of it...after you drive it for a considerable amount of time feel your wheels to see how hot they are.

interesting idea.

i believe its coming from the engine bay, oil and coolant are good. there is no smoke.
