Default Curse You Winn Dixie

I went for a drive last night with my dog and while I was stopped at a light I smelled something that smelled like plastic,I got the fire extinguisher ready for action and looked under the hood,I couldn't see a problem so I drove it home and put it in the garage,I jacked it up today and rolled under for a look,Yep you guessed it, a Winn Dixie plastic bag had somehow wrapped all around the 4 pipes going into the collector and was melted all over my headers,It took me about 3 hours to clean most of it off and it did'nt do the ceramic coating any good.As I said "Curse You Winn Dixie and may the Fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits of the creature that left that bag in the street". :mad :mad

I can imagine the smell. How would you like the following to happen to you? I was riding with a friend a looong time ago in his car, which we had just finished installing headers on. He hit some roadkill that I betcha had been there a coupla days and it splattered all over the underside of his car, some of it on those brand new headers. You CAN'T imagine the smell...
