Coolant burning smells like plastic burning.

white smoke = coolant, bluish smoke = oil, black smoke = fuel/gas.

Better questino, what was the humidity like when your car did this, thick humid. dry. and go back to the muffler at anytime while the car is running, smell that. and compair to what you smelled then.

yeah, smell it, and get back to us, as for the humidity. I doubt thats it but just want to eliminate it for sure. Do you actualy know what it was. better than yesterday (me being on the other side of the country) doesn't mean much.

That is good. Smoke from a car is never normal.
