Anyone who has worked on the underside of a recently run car knows how hot the exhaust system gets. Second degree burn levels. I had heard decades before as a new driver not to ever park in places with high grass for this reason, and a dry leaf pile would be far more combustible.

Catalytic converters are 500-800F, and leaves combust around 750F I think
