Holy bad smells, Batman
<rant>
<whine>
I am currently going through the wonderful experience of having a plastic grocery bag partially melted to my exhaust. Somewhere I ran over one and dear lord... the smell. I was able to stop by the local Mazda dealer and drive over their oil change pit so they could pull the rest of it off (damn Safeway to hell). The smell still lingers two days later. Ugh.

All excellent advice. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I plan on getting out and taking a long drive this weekend in an attempt to burn it off. I look at it as a win-win situation. Even if the smell is still there I'll still get in a good solid day of driving.

i had the same thing happen to me just a couple of weeks ago. I was able to remove mos tof the bag. But after 3 weeks, i can still smell it through the cabin whenever i go for a spirited ride. Just barely though. Im hoping in a few more weeks the odor will be totally gone.

Why not? They blow all over the place, hang on trees, entangle and kill wildlife etc. They are antienviroment. Flying garbage when the wind blows.

And, just for the cherry on top, they save trees.
They are not biodegradeable. I suppose you like transfat in your diet and styrofoam containers for your mcdonald hamburgers for convienence. Paper bags can be made out of wood biproducts not suitable for print paper. They are also biodegradable and wont hang in trees like the one in my back yard. Ill have to get a ladder to get it down.

They shouldn't outlaw them because government intervention is not something we need more of. How's that?
And no, I don't like transfat in my diet, but dammit I'd like to make that decision myself.

You need intervention in these cases. We abuse freedom with wilfull apathy for our own selfish purpose and convenience. Abuse your freedom you lose it. Remember that young ones. There are consequences for what we think and do.
