I was smelling a burning plastic smell coming from my car. I thought it was the wiring harness or something; and then the ashtray light. Nope it was neither. It seems to have been a 40 gallon black trash bag melted to my y pipe. Guess a lowerred car hot exhaust and plastic bags don't get along. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> Be careful what you run over; it might cause a stink. lol Now when is my muflex and dynatech's coming in so I can get rid if the plastic coated y pipe. <img src="images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Samething happened to me except it was a Walmart bag that caught on the bottom of my muffler.
I pulled off what I could but atleast half was stuck/melted on the bottom of my muffler. It finally burned off.
Talk about pissed off. Damn lazy *** litter bugs.
