Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about. 

Smell

The indicator gauge on my car does not indicate that the engine is hot, but it smells hot after I've been driving for a little bit.  What would be making that smell?

Maybe you're dripping a little anti-freeze from your overflow onto a hot surface like the exhaust pipe?

Your catalytic converter may be sooted up and getting hot.  The next time your car smells hot, look underneath and see if the color of your converter has changed from the heat.

Perhaps one of the rubber parts is coming in contact with something hot. This can cause a very unpleasant smell.
