%@#@%@ Plastic Bag
So I was out driving at lunch today, and when I came back to my car I notice that I had a half-melted plastic bag clinging to my muffler. Needless to say I am pissed about the look and the smell it makes, but does anyone know how to get the damn thing off of there?

yeah it stinks pretty bad, I noticed the smell before I ate, then saw it afterwards. What sucks is that I can't do it all weekend because it's supposed to rain the whole damn time

Mine pretty much got cemented on muffler, and by the time I got around to cleaning it off, it wasn't budging. I just let it toast itself, and after about 4 weeks I wasn't able to smell it anymore.

Same thing happend to my mother in law in her mini van, it stinks for a good while unless you remove it yourself.
I treat plastic bags on the road like if it was huge rock...I avoid it as much as I can without getting into an accident.

I never even saw it, for all I know it could have been blowing around right after I parked and hit the hot muffler and stuck. I didn't see it until I was walking back to my car and was like AAAAAAAHHHHH
