“I have been driving my car back and forth from college and running errands around town. I have a completely stocked 2000 Dodge NEON es. I use the headlights most of the time, even during the day, to increase visibility. One night, I was driving through my town. I smelled something burning but not thinking anything of it since I was near a rural area that could have camp fires lit. This happened about 2 months ago.
