Burning Smell.

Lately I been smelling the scent of burning rubber coming from the inside of the car. When I get around to try to see where its coming from I cant detect anything. Its not coming from the wheels or the engine. Its just inside the car that you smell it.

And when I drive there is a sound of a rustlling plastic bag that seems to be cyclical. The faster I move, the faster it occurs.
And when I drive on Uneven road I have these loud clunking noises.
Chime in Please

Diagnosis: FACKED!

It probably is a bag that is stuck to your exhaust and melting. The clunking shouldn't be related to the bag but probably bad strut mounts and/or struts.

I dont think its a bag because the sound is cyclical. Plus the bag would have melted away by now. Its been 2 weeks now.

I remember Deep telling me that the sound was coming from my cv joints. My Boots are also both broken.

solution: fix your car.

You really need to get those boots changed. I paid $375 to replace both front axles. I had a plastic bag stuck to my exhaust for 2 1/2 weeks before I finally ripped it off.

I wouldn't drive to Englishtown from NYC with your car like that, if I were you....

Towing back home from NJ would cost you $$$ that you could use to fix your car...

If you're set to drive to E-Town, fix your car....

....and next time, try not to drive like a crackhead, Ok????
