Some nasty crap on my turboback
Well the past 2 days, I noticed some weird smell coming from the outside of the car, and also inside the car when I turn on the heat/air. I thought I had a exhaust leak until I checked under the car and I see some **** thats melted all over my tbe. I think I ran over some bag, and the bag melted onto the pipes. I tried hosing it off, but it wont budge. Anyone know what kind of cleaning solution I could use to try and clean it off?

let your car idle for a while or take it around the block a time or two...then get under it (with gloves on) and try to scrape it off with one of those spackle applying things

I guess it's technically a putty knife … but that's a pretty stupid name also.

Good luck. I avoid all plastic bags in the road now!

Um.... same thing happend to me a few years ago in the ol' S2000... But it didn't smell as bad as you're saying it does... It actually smelled good... so it just got to burn itself off after about a month... I'm sure you could drive the car a WHOLE lot and it would burn off.... I avoid EVERYTHING on the road... too many bad things have happened from running over the smallest things...
