I ran over an empty trash bag once, and it got stuck to my muffler and melted onto it. Made a huge mess and could have potentially caught fire.

No muffler replacements, no leaking head gaskets, no timing belts making an attempt at freedom... .

I thought of that too, but that's sort of like Toyota advertising what sort of engine a car has by leaving the muffler off of all the showroom models. Gearheads can tell the engine by the cacophony in the showroom lot, but everyone else will get the impression that Toyota's cars are noisy.
