Mysterious Stenches I Did Not Personally Produce

About two weeks ago a weird hot glue smell started coming out of my car. We (Kevin and me) thought maybe I had run over a plastic bag and it was melting. But no bag was to be found. We looked up "hot glue smell" on google and it suggested I might have a leak of some kind. But there were never any puddles under my car. So, because I need to drive everyday Kevin generously offered to drive me around for a couple days while my car was getting checked out. But before I dropped mad Gs on a mechanic he suggested we take a look in the engine again, just in case that elusive plastic bag was stuck in there somewhere secret. IN FACT! the smell was being produced by HALF A PLASTIC PACKING PEANUT. Those little buggers are truely amazing.
