Well i was tightening the lug nuts on my wheels today to see if they were the cuase of a knock i was hearing last night and a freind came over who hasnt seen my 7 yet. He asks if he can sit in the car, i told him sure just dont **** anything up. Well next thing i know hes revving the **** out of the engine. I run over to the drivers side and tell him to stop. After he let off the gas all i could smell was something burning coming from the exhuast. Anyone know what this is or have this problem? I hope he didnt mess anything up and he's the last person that touches my 7 besides me for now on.
