Okay... well it doesn't stink at least not all the time. Only when I get over 80MPH and I've driven for a while. Then I smell this sorta burning brakes or ozone like odor. The car is not hot, there's no noises or rough running and when I back off the odor subsides.


Any ideas?

I replaced the brakes a while back. But that was a good 5,000 miles ago. The part that tweeks me is why does the smell subside when I drop below 80MPH? Hmmm. Maybe my car gets scared.

Maybe it is a Belt?


Have you checked all your belts
