I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden I see this packing wrap across the he highway. I had no choice but to go over it. After I went over it I heard a noise underneath my car for a few minutes then stopped. I looked underneath my car and it looks like it got caught up in the drive shaft. The car is driving normal but do I have to be concerned about anything? Will it wear off on its own?
I tried to. I pulled over but there wasn't anything to pull off. I saw that there was something ripped in the middle of the car. I need to jack up the car to get it.
A few years ago (Not in my Challenger) I ran over a piece of thick plastic wrap. Like some of the others above experienced, it got on the muffler, melted and smelled awful for a long time. There wasn't much I could do about it but let it gradually melt away, which it did. Since then I dodge that crap.
I know a guy who was off-roading his Jeep and ran over a discarded tennis net. I guess it was hiding in the weeds and he didn't see it. It wrapped up around his driveshaft and busted the tailshaft off his transmission and did all kinds of other damage. So things could be worse!
