Wow, you just gave me flashbacks from when I didn't have a rear bumper on
my '63 Squareback.  I always hit the hot exhaust tip with my leg.  Ouch!

The same thing happened on my '63 Single Cab to my wife, too.  I had
learned my lesson but now she has a permanent burn mark on her shin to
remind me...  ;-(
