Fw: <VV> Burning Grass - lawn spots

[werp knarly]

i did notice some weird, paired, dead spots on my lawn a few years ago... 
midget alien lawn boxes?

NOPE, my vair would cook/kill the grass blades under the jugs and/or 
manifolds. this seemed to happen even if i just drove up and parked w/o 
idling.

they were about 8 inches wide and the length of the motor.

the grass always seemed to grow back fine
