So was leaving class today and I got on the interstate going 75 mph a few seconds later I smell a burnt smell kinda like a burnt clutch or burnt wire and I'm like Wtf is that look down and I'm going 96 mph. The smell was coming through my vents I have a 05 Chevy cobalt ls auto no mods. Except I did the air box mod
I have had the car for about a year and I've never smelt that when I halled ass before.

Update: found out I have no oil at all. The dip stick was dryyy. I'm not sure if I'm hearing things but I think i heard the engine knock but it wasnt really loud .
Did I mess up my rods?

In all honesty I smelt it once, and it was pretty heavy of a smell. After a few minutes and exiting, I determined it wasn't my car. Just monitor it. Keep a wrench handy to yank the battery cable off just in case it were to try and catch fire. Better safe then sorry.

I mean if u shat yourself the smell would linger and follow you outside of ur car.

96 mph can cause sudden wet farts so be careful.

Usually smells I smell come from other cars that are passing by. If u got no oil at all and now ur hearing odd sounds I'd say ur gonna be needing a new motor soon. Unless sleeper agent is for troll from a different forum, then by all means keep driving ur oil less car
