sorry to bother you guys after a long hiatus. i moved into the country and we dont have any internet and my phone wont load this page. but i get internet at school and im in class so here goes...

it is winter here in the northland and ive noticed something strange with my car. even after just driving to school i get out of it and it smells like burning rubber. what gives? all belts are fine and i am certainly not doing any burnouts. any thoughts on this? dont know why it matters but i got an 01 tqms

 

Who the fck are you?

Cabin filter? Maybe the smell is coming through your heater

 

who the **** are you? really? hes asking for advice and u cuss at him? cuz that makes sense

honestly... next time u get out or smell it... smell the tires or pop the hood and start sniffing around till u locate the area the smell is strongest and see what it might be lol

 

thats what is really weird. of course i already thought of that stuff. i shouldve mentioned it before but the tires dont smell and the engine bay doesnt smell. its just right when you open the door you can smell it. theres no smell in the cabin. nothing seems out of place. its really kinda weird but its been doing it all winter. maybe its not an issue?
and euro 2nr maybe you dont know me cause i have been away from the site since august. if you really want to know me ill give you my phone number and we can get to know each other

 

Dude I was being sarcastic. I helped you on other issues before when I was around.

Can you get the car on a lift and put it in drive and maybe see if you got anything rubbing? Axles, DS, wheels. Something's gotta be touching. Unless it's just your upper lip

 

i could put it on a lift no problem. my buddy has a diesel repair shop with a lift. it certainly isnt the tires since im running 15's for winter mode. my 17's (225-45) come damn close to rubbin but they dont. i thought maybe there was ice build up and the tires were rubbing but i brought it to the car wash and blew out the wheel wells really good but i still get the smell. and i was just jokng with you too but if you really want my number ill give it. if youre ever in minnesota you could stop by for some beers

 

Appreciate it bro. Just took the girl to mall of America last month. Pretty ghey

 

hey man! its nice to see your... avatar?... again lol

but it could be your clutch, mine started smelling when it started to go... idk, or just brakes or something that wears... how are your pads?

 

pads are fine. could be clutch. i noticed it slipping in high gear. funny thing is it slips at 3000 and locks back up only in fifth

 

Zup sucka!

OP: these are good suggestions...
