hey guys i was driving on 160 yesterday and i was behind a big truck and next to a tow-truck and all of a sudden a big piece of plastic wrab comes from under the truck infront of me and goes under my car. i though i went over it but when i parked my car i saw the plastic stuck to exhaust and the whole pipe under my car. i tried to pull it off and i got majority of it off but when i drive my car it smeels like burning plastic eveywhere i go


has this ever happen to anyone before?

 

never have I heard of that happening. You, sir, are talented.

 

did it on my civic once, plastic bag melted onto the Cat

 

Eventually, the plastic smell will go away. Till then :\.

One time, right in front of downtown Ford heading out of downtown on 160, I was behind a big lifted Ford truck. I see him go over some very large rocks, and there's no way for me to avoid them. I was in my Integra, which had big ballin 16" rimmzzzzz. Flatted all four tires. OWNED.

 

that's wierd but i would assume the smell will go away when the plastic wrap melts ....... if its already not melted

 

ouch. my friend had that happen.

smell doesn't go away for a while :| sorry man.

 

I was just going to post this exact same story.... with the exception of it being my civic.

 

look at the bright side, you can get more money if you sell the exhaust or car because its "freshly plastic wrapped"

 

that was when I use to wear Abercrombie

 

use a drill with pad thingy and grind it off.

 

c'mon brozzzzzzzzzzzz no h3lpz here for mee? I jist want to get dis plaztic smellz away.

 

i once bombed over an inflatable raft in my wrx. it fell off a truck in front of me on hwy 50.

another time on 50 i saw a big rubbermaid storage bin fall off the back of a truck. everyone was swerving to avoid it and a t-bird nailed it head on. it was full of stuffed animals, it was a scene of pure stuffed carnage.

 

I hope you drive over a garbage bag tomorrow, ***
Dude types more accurately and with better spelling than most of the idiots around here.


Grewal, I've had it happen on headers a few times on the wagon......you can scrape off what you can reach, but it'll smoke and stink for a couple weeks until it completely burns off regardless. Really annoying.

 

+1 (sort of) I've had it happen to me on my Volvo in high school. Smell was not fun, but went away in a couple days.

 

Happened on my Mom's Nissan Altima. A rubber hood cushion with thick plastic lining fell of and on the exhaust manifold. By the time I figured out where the smell was coming from, it was too hard to chisel of, I just let it burn.
