Haha, one time, it was like 80 outside, and I had just gotten back from a 120 mile drive from Central University home, and I parked in a field where there was some dry grass. The cats on my car hang down low cause I have broken hangers and the cats are clogged so they dont flow to well either. I got out of my car and smelled grass buring and knew what it was right away. I just got back in my car, moved it to the gravel, came back, stomped on the smoking grass to make sure nothing was gonna catch fire, and went on with my day, lol.

I was driving the Honda and down the road was a trash bag... Right in the middle or my side of the road...

What can I do?

I sure wasn't gonna HotWheels it around teh curve grinding the guard rail, and I wasn't gonna go English style on the wrong side of the road, so I just plowed right through.

Bag got all tangled on my exhaust. It hangs a bit low because it's gotta leave room for the rear driveshaft... Plus the hanger locations aren't all that great.

Lol, I've picked up around 3 newspapers with my exhaust hangers by accident. The ones here come in a blue bag... and they throw them right in the middle of my driveway where i have to drive. I was missing the donut style rubber thingy on the drivers side and it just seemed perfect for scooping up bags by accident .
