Duh, like no!! Anything like this indicates there is something grossly wrong with your car and warrants immediate repair. You may have shorted out the battery possibly ... or ... the battery was shorted out to begin with. Do not drive a car when there is smoke coming from the engine area ... bad things will happen and then KABOOM, you have a fire or other uncontrollable situation that may put your life and others in danger.
