So I am coming home from the store when all the sudden I smell burning electrical or brakes and I think to myself...wait I didn't slam on my brakes or anything...and out of the corner of my eye my dash lights (Where the A/C and what not are) begin to lose power, gain power, etc as if it is getting a power spike. So the flashing gets worse and worse, smell goes away, smell gets worse and worse...I get home and turn the car off and there is that STRONG smell again when I get out of the car...I was like...well fuck it if it's gonna go up in flames it's gonna go up in flames but luckily it didn't. This all happened in a matter of 3 minutes.
Anyone else experience this?

OUCH!~!~!~! That is scary.
By chance, you didn't forget to drop the parking brake all the way did you? I know I have occasionally forgotten to make sure it was completely off... not in this car, but others I've owned.
Had you just done an oil change, or tranny fluid, etc? Check your power steering fluid level too.
I would try to remember exactly where all the settings in the car were when you smelled the burning smell. Ten try to recreate it and see what happens.

Or in this case, the fuse box cover?
