Spinning of the tires is not a likely cause. If I would guess it would be grass or other vegetation on the catalytic converter. It's more common than you would think and it could happen in a car too. I've been on trails with SUVs and seen this almost happen many times when people stop over tall grass and suddenly you smell smoke. It won't take long either.
Glad everyone is okay.

BTW, the Audi sales rep strongly suggested that I sue Honda!!!!
Ridiculous suggestion in my opinion: manipulating the system. I was amazed at the mentality of this guy especially since I highly doubt it's Honda's fault.
Anyways, thank you all for your concern. I really appreciate it.
