Most common theads-2003 (some humor)
After reading the thread "Unlikely Forum Posts of 2003" and after many X-mas eve drinks, I did a quick, stream of consciousness list of most common threads of 2003. Towards the end, I took some artistic license and added a little humor. Anyway, virtually everyone will have participated in one of these threads (including me!), so don't take it personally. Here's the list (in no particular order); what did I leave out?
1. Questions re:/check out my 3.6 liter transplant! 2. Please run a carfax on this 911. 3. The A versus B threads: SC vs. Carrera/915 vs. G50/ 944 vs. 911, etc. 4. The "you already know the answer" threads: Can't downshift into 1st. Swepco did not help. Do I need to rebuild my 915? 5. Wayne: Does Pelican carry this part? 6. Which is the best radar detector? 7. Check out this ricer on ebay. 8. Testing out new format-Wayne. 9. Check out this rust-free '73 S! 10. Help! Car won't start! 11. Photos of engine drop. 12. Targa leak.  13. 944 Owner: Which 911 to buy? 14. Show us your [insert here]. 15. PPI results: Should I walk? 16. Best set up for autox? 17. Question re: MFI. [Now's where the booze really kicks in]: 18. SCWDP: Carrera owners are *worse* than Sadaam! 19. Motor Meister: Worse than Sadaam and worse than even Carrera owners. 20. Diverting motorsport money into the Cayanne was a great idea! Cayenne is beautiful! The new V6 Cayenne is even a better idea! Anyway, it's 6:30 a.m. on X-mas morning. Time to get some sleep.

God, I hate it when that happens!
 What was the story on that again, Island? Broken water pipe is I guess the obvious answer. Funny thing is, once those cars were thawed out I'll bet they were fine. I saw that happen to a fire truck in Mpls. once, big warehouse fire downtown on a windy, 35deg. below zero night, (and no, I'm not talking windchill factor which can be -100 or colder in MN.). I have some cool pictures of another ice/fire in Minneapolis somewhere, if I can find them I'll post one.
