One time I has a plastic trash bag get hung up under my car and started melting on the exhaust. You may want to check under the car.

If you brought Taco Bell in my car I don't think we could be friends anymore!

NEW cars will have a "plasticky" burning smell coming from the cosmoline burning off of the underside of the motor, but only for the first 100 miles or so.

Customer service forum guys creep me out a little.

Kinda like in a killer-robots-acting-polite kinda of way.

I'm sure they mean well, but still get that feeling when I read the posts.

Never smelt any burning plastic, but if you smell it, probably some burning plastic causing the burning plastic smell.
