Never run over ANYTHING in a C5.
darn 5 cent plastic bag got sucked up into my cooling fan. Wrapped around the spindle and locked it up SOLID. Burned it out.
20 minutes to fix it...and 80 bucks...
darn litter bugs.

The C4 cars suffer from the same idiocy...nothing there to keep trash out of the front. Mama had a plastic sack wrapped around the pusher fan on the '85 once, too...
The same metal cloth-type screen will work on the C4s, too. You can also go buy the screen/cloth at da local hardware store, and DIY.
