well after todays drive home from school, and dropping off all my friends (4), i come home and smell this burning smell coming from my car. it smelled really bad, and was pretty strong. i smelled this smell before, but thought nothing of it since it went away, but this is really strong. not sure what could be causing this? im not sure if my friends put that much extra strain on the engine or wut? but i didnt think it would start to burn?

check your brakes.. like go near them and see if smell comes from disc, i had like that, my clinder was dragging little and disc heated enough to put metallic smell in my car occasionally after long drives.
