Shanghai-ed or Kidnapped Posts

Hi Guys and Gals,

I've been reading a lot of posts lately in which the original question has gotten Shanghaied or Kidnapped, and people are no loger talking about the original question.

Does this disturb anyone other than me?

Might not we stay on the subject? And if anyone has a different question, start a new thread. It's so easy to do.

Anyone agree?

It's called a thread hi-jack. Yeah it happens sometimes. When it's mine and I need to get back on track I just start a new thread. On the other hand you can learn a lot when the thread diverges from its intended course.

While we're at it, what are your thoughts about using fiberglass doors on the street?

Think about a conversation around a table at happy hour. It's the same thing. Part of being a human is that we all want to swing the talk back around to ourselves.

It's all about me, man.......

I am not sure about fiberglass, but what about simply not having side windows on the street, here in CA it should not present a problem...

I would never use fiberglass doors without a full NASCAR style cage.

Come to think of it, I would never drive my race car on the street. No place to put my beer.

I predict this will be the fastest growing thread of the day.

most of the 996 style race cars have carbon fiber doors and only Xs in the doors, in the last ALMS race the Olive Garden car drove into the #23 and ripped the door off, clearly it was a glancing blow but still there was only an X in the door, or should I say what was a door.

It's terrible when that happens. Who do you like in the World Series?

Andras, you had to know this was going to happen? If not, well you haven't been here that long, you'll learn.
