Think about this for a minute: Why would applying the brakes without the engine running, cause them to burn or ruin anything else for that matter? Does that make sense to you? If so, could you please explain the mechanism for that?
Did you leave the parking brake on while you were driving? What kind of store was this? What year is the store? How many miles on the parking lot? What is the parking lot made of?
Try this one: A train bound for Cincinatti leaves Kansas City at 3PM heading north east at an average speed of 50 MPH. At the same time, another train leaves Minneapolis headed for Tuscaloosa moving at 45 MPH. Now, Oh noooooooooooooooo, not the TRAIN PROBLEMS !!! At what time will both trains cross Rockford Illinois? (Let me know if you need some scratch paper for this).
I do not think you would have hurt anything by what you did. If you still smell it check to make sure your e brake is off, if still after that you may have a caliper sticking somewhere. Jack the car up and see if you can turn the wheels by hand with out any brake resistence. YOur front wheels will still fill a little drag from the trans but you should be able to turn them with the car in neutral.
It was a drive thru at a local resturant that i did this and since i shut the car off i was on Hydrolic pressure there for next to no brake pedal movement and little brake response. it was a tar drive thru I never turn on the parking brake however flipping on the POWER feature overroad the brake burn and i was able to drive with no bog down. I smelled brake burn in both front calipers but more on the drivers side i checked brake fluid and it boiled over onto the Master Cylinder and appears to be overfilled when the cap is on.
Now I’m confused. Are you telling us you were driving a car thru a parking lot and drive-thru without any brake pressure? What power feature, exactly?
Are you sure you weren’t smelling hot metal from your rotors or hot tar from the parking lot? Brakes do that you know. You could deodorize them, but they usually cool down to ambient temperature without adding cologne to the brake fluid or spritzing the wheels with Glade. ;>)
I think the answer to your original question is; “No”.
“Drive on with your bad self!”
SparksNever overfill your brake fluid. V-e-r-y bad. It doesn’t boil, it spills out under brake pressure.
Ok i should better clarify. I went to a local resturant to get dinner. It was one of those that give you a number. So after i paid and they gave me my number so i pulled up in the area of the drive-thru where they have people wait i gave the car gas to move while moving i put it in Nuturel and shut off the engine. Due to no Vacuum i have no power brakes so when i went to stop the pedal got solid and i could not push it down due to no power. The brake burn did not happen until about 4 blocks from my house. As i was going 45mph the second i let off the gas the car slows down by 5mph every 3 seconds so after i floored it to get speed when i got to the stop sign a block from my house i smelled the brake burn. Whn i got into my driveway i checked all brakes the driver front was burning AGAIN and i even smelled it in the passenger brake too. I popped the hood to check the fluid and see that it leaked out the top all over the brake cylinder. I removed the lid to check the fluid its at the MAX level. But my car has some kind of sensor on the brake fluid cap so with the cap on the brake fluid level goes ABOVE the MAX mark. I didnt do the fluid the shop did.
not funny. I will see if it asks up again if it does i will put it on a jack and stick my ramps under it as stands and take the wheels off and inspect the brakes is there anything i should look at/for?

I did not get it to reach OP temp BUT something strange does happen. When engine runs cold it runs smooth. Once i give it gas or it starts to warm up it runs rough. Any idea what that means?
What can it be? New Master cylinder new lines new hose. Shop said rotors and calibers are fine it is indeed STILL acting up. What should i check i will put it on the jack and use my ramps as stands.
EDIT: I am thinking of trying to pinch off the Vacuum line to the booster think it will make a difference?

im no good at geography i dunno where Cincinatti is there is kansas city KANSAS and MISSOURI which one u talking about? i dunno wat Tuscaloosa even is and i dunno what direction NE is
Well the problem is the brake caliper again. once the pedal goes solid (next to no pedal give when pushed) it is the caliper locking up. Although its not as bad as it was i have found out that if it bogs down that all i have to do is put it into 3rd gear. When i come to a stop i just put it in 1st then up to 3rd. Or i press the POWER Button and it takes away the bog down.
