In this case I am. I think you probably know me well enough to know most of the time I'll play along and mix it up, but the last time the random thoughts haters came in with the only purpose of shutting the thread down, we tried mixing it up, and the haters accomplished their goals by getting it shut down. When it came back, the mods said that to keep it from happening again, we need to self police rather than engaging. So, this is the one place I will do that. Really...I hate it, because running to the mods seems like such a pantywaste thing to do and smacks of the kid that always gets picked on that immediately runs to a teacher instead of just standing up for himself, but we tried the stick up for yourself route and it gave the people that just wanted to close the thread what they wanted, and we were told to do this route, so we do.

I completely don't mind any and all random thoughts/discussions, and I don't want it to seem like there's an in-group that are the only ones allowed, but when talk of 'why isn't this closed' starts, we need to stop it.
 
Yikes! A Boxster motor on fire means that burning motor is just behind you as a mid-engine and just in front of the gas tank. You can't even get to the motor to use a fire extinguisher in an emergency, it's just not that easy to access.

If this ever happens to me it's pull over and bail out time. Of course I'd take pictures to post here! :smile:


You know, Boxster, if Porsche wants to get in the game with Ferrari and Lamborghini, they're really going to have to up their performance on the number of random and unpredictable self-immolating incidents. I mean you hear about them every once in a while, but with Ferrari and Lambo...it's almost like a celebrity news site where you're just waiting for the next big one to happen.
 
Starting to get myself mentally prepared for the mind numbing 8 hour drive back to CR tonight. Thank god for podcasts and satellite radio.
 
The mod teammates is watching this thread. As stated at the beginning, temp bans will be given for trying to shut it down. Don't like it, do what most do and don't read it. last warning.

I like to imagine that whenever there is an issue with CF, one MOD PM's the other mod with the picture from Anchorman and a caption that says, "MOD TEAM, ASSEMBLE!" Is that anywhere near close what happens?

now I'm imagining LindenCy's avatar saying that in Ferrell's voice.
 
I knew about the proximity to the gas tank, but I wasn't aware of the difficulty getting to the engine to extinguish it. If I were, I probably would have followed him!

No special tools needed but lots of stuff to remove, pain in the ***. Fortunately coolant, oil and battery are accessible without having to do this.

BTW, why people be all complaining about topics here, for cryin' out loud you posted about a burning car, that's way guy cool (would have been worthy of it's own thread if you had video!).

We've got a forum where we discuss things.

I imagine this forum as the place where all the banned stuff is allowed. Angie cursing up a storm, mj posting nudies, and mods calling out each other...

:wink:

But, it's probably not nearly as fun as that...but without real info, my imagination just makes things up.
 
I'm that guy in the office today. I brought in leftover corned beef and cabbage to heat up in the microwave.

I'm thinking tomorrow I'll bring in some leftover fish for lunch. For an afternoon snack, I'm going to put some microwave popcorn in there, set the timer at 6 minutes and leave.
