I noticed the smoke while driving home. I thought it was a jalopy in front of me. Nope its me... that smell of burnt rubber (belt?) was intense and lingered for a long while. The smoke started up pretty suddenly. I didnt get two blocks up the street before I pulled over and shut it down. Steering seemed fine. I did notice some condensation on the exhaust pipe when I first fired it up. which seemed odd being that it was parked in a pretty hot garage.

Actually I dodged a bullet as I nearly took the car for a very long drive to a remote part of New York (Port Jervis area) where there is zero cell phone coverage, barely any street lighting and very little mass transit. And forget about Uber. The MAF issue was enough to convince me to leave it at home. That would have been a disaster.

P.S.
I tipped the tow truck guy 25%...the GT3 bumper just barely clears the flatbed with the wooden ramps...barely.
