Default Mystery smell

The last couple of trips I have started smelling a strong odor coming from somewhere. The best way I can describe it is either a buring plastic, clutch or brake smell. I can't figure out a rhyme or reason. Only thing I can come up with is it seems to be at higher speeds when it starts...70+...I'm looking for idea's to troubleshoot this. It does not smell when standing still idling. The car has to be moving.

This week I am going to take it to a guys garage with a lift and take it on the highway before and blow it out then go right on the lift and see if I can smell or see anything hot...

Going to call Doug in the AM as well.
