Oooh, that smell!

I have a burning smell coming from my car after I drive it. It is something besides the rubber I am trying so hard to wear off my tires. I rev pretty high in the city traffic with my Sport Shift. Any thoughts?

How new is your TSX? If brand new (a week?) then its just the plastic parts and lubricants being exposed to operating temperatures. Otherwise, it could be the brakes. I'd have the dealer check it.
