My car runs fine. If you ignore the small things. One thing is when I really push my car, I can sometimes smell some burning rubber-like smell. After I park my car I open the hood and I can smell it really well. Nothing looks like it is burning. There are no leaks under the car... I smell it better on the driver's side. The only thing I can think of is either a hose or a belt. I checked the hoses, they look good. I'm not sure where all of the belts are though... Can someone help me please?
