Hot metal smell from under middle of car

[moy@matrix.riv.edu (Michael Moy)]

The past few weeks I have occasionally detected the smell of hot metal coming
from under the middle of the car (88 5000Q, 100K miles) for about a second or
two after driving for a while. I'm going to ask my mechanic about this the next
time I bring it in for service. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
