Default Plastic Bag VS's S2000

Never run over a plastic bag while driving, You'll be sorry!!

I sure was, Freakin bag got smuldered onto my exhaust pipes and It would not come off. It would smell whenever the car was on. Couple days layer I finally just brought it to a shop where they just torched it off, And threw the guy 5bucks for doing it.

AVOID PLASTIC BAGS

anyone else had this problem? lol

yeah, i saw a bag on the road, ran over it, looked in my rearview and it never turned up.

Smelled bad for a few days. When i had my oil change done, and the car was on the lift, i just took a razor blade and scraped it off while the exhaust was hot.

I hit one once on the highway. It looked like it went under the car until about 5 miles later I noticed the engine was about to overheat. I pulled over to find it lodged in my front grille.

I did that last year also, did the exact same thing. Also went and had it torched off. Funny how this happens so much. That frickin' smell is horrible, makes me want to

I saw the reference to white plastic and thought this was going to be another Michael Jackson joke

This happened to my Z the 1st week I had it. At first, I thought something was terribly wrong with the engine...couldn't find anything visible. Then, one day, I happened to look under my car, and...UH OH...melted, crusted, plastic bag all over the exhaust. Tried scraping it off...but didn't cut it. Still have it on, cause smell is gone, and I will sticking a cat-back on this summer.
