Default Car Smells?

After driving my car for 15-20 minutes in the freeway going 60mph the inside of my car starts to smell like crayons....yes the colored crayons......i smell it more if the heat is on high. What could it be?

i know if you spill any in your bay it takes forever to burn off and you can smell it for a long time. i would check that again just to be sure its not coming out somewhere

LOL....I don't think that would do it....

OP: Make sure the is nothing plastic thats laying on the engine that shouldn't be or anything like that...and be very sure that you don't have a coolant leak....they usually are only identifiable by the residue they leave around them, as they usually open up when the lines are hot...when the line gets cold they basically shrink up shut...

prolly coolant or something got stuck, check for garbage bags or something lil plastic things that may have gotten caught inside the engine bay.
