Default Butt Out....

Anyone had a car in front of them flick a cigarette butt out of their window and go into your intercooler or something similar???? Would this do damage???
I haven't had this happen to me but always wondered if it did happen would it do any damage???? I see way too many ppl flicking butts out of their window for my liking.....

yeah your car might blow up

worse is for those on motorbikes who cop a cigerette butt, if their helmet visors down.

in the scopp it would probably do nothing as the rushing air would most probably snuff it out. Most trouble would be is it came into contact with some wires or hoses and melted them.

I personally hate drivers who do that.

was driving back from Busselton once and this dkhed in front was swerving around and as we over took, they threw fruit at my car trying to get it into the scoop. not happy jan.
he got done by a multinove about 2kms later whilst trying to over take me in a town. ahhh revenge.

Thats why Antilag is so good, just overtake and unleash some death on their front bar , but in seriousness i have had that happen and butts dont burn the ic, maybe paintwork on its way into the scoop
