Luckily it has a safety feature and shut itself off.

I have also ran over things and had them burn. I think one time it was a tarp. You know the blue tarps? And that smelled horrible burning as well. When I see something like that on the freeway I always check in my mirrors to make sure I see it flying around after me.
Wow! I guess your mom is lucky that your dad never burned the house down. It was a clear tarp that was stuck under my car. Burning plastic smell is the worst. Another one is burnt popcorn because it's also hard to get rid of this smell.
