if it was water it would be steam not smoke. Its pretty easy to tell the difference. You would not have a burning smell if it was steam either. So i would rull out the water idea judging by saying your dad smelt something funny. Once you rull out the water you run into a large list of things it could be. If it happened only once and you have not had another episode then you probably ran over something that got on exhaust system and burned it causing the smoke.

Mostly likely just some left over cleaning products, assembly lubricants and adhesives, and things of that nature. I assume you were driving the car pretty hard??

that was probably the problem that was causing the smoking. we were not driving it hard at all, only cruising at 80 for like 8 hours into the trip.

I kinda had the same thing happen to me last week when the first hard rain came here in SoCal. I had some steam coming from the engine bay out of the front grille when I parked my car in the garage. I didn't even open the hood, I just took a quick smell and it didn't smell like anything at all so I just waited untill it stoped, which it did just after a few minutes. The car runs great so far, I've ony had it for 2 1/2 weeks, with that steam happening within the first week I had it.
