Wild Bill, did you "blow your engine today"?

Naw...not today! Should I worry about not hearing anything today, even though I didn't start it? Should I mouse proof it? Do I need to pull the engine and detail it completely using a tooth brush? I have driven out of the driveway in the past! OH CRAP! I'm doomed! Does this mean flat bed to a dealer or what...?

BTW IMSB!

I agree with everyone that make sense here. Those that don't get it, don't have to. That was an overreaction by stubborn hall monitors on a power trip. That thread was not only fun and unpredictable, but I also suspect that it caused a number of people to spend more time per day at this site. Those same people would then peruse the rest of the 996 board, or the one that was specific to their vehicle, and then participate in sharing information on another thread that they perhaps would've never seen because they won't visit again until they need their own questions answered. How many hobby/enthusiast sites do most people belong to? Out of those, how many people visit them everyday? I belong to a few. I don't visit them daily because I don't require information about them daily. I certainly don't need information about my Porsches daily either. Suddenly shutting down a four year old thread that enjoyed multiple posts daily was no better than the host of a party standing on a table and urinating into the punch bowl simply because they can. "Hey! Thanks for your membership dollars. Drink up!"

Nobody asked for your opinion on this thread or invited you to this conversation. And since it's non-technical and you are against non-technical threads, there is no reason for you to chime in.

Hey man... tell us your car in back home for Christmas. Is it? Surely it's not still in the shop. If so, I would charge the insurance company every day you've had to spend without your 996. Give us updates man. How long has it been now???

Eggzackery the problem! I think others try to get those types to realize the silliness of their seriousness over trivial matters. It creates butthurtness in those serious types. Life is too short to let everything cause drama. Laugher(even at oneself) is truly the best medicine.

Oh crap...almost forgot IMSB!

Hey all, sorry to be the poop in the punch bowl, but I'm going to lock this thread so that it doesn't get abyssed. We can try and start a new shenanigans thread and see if it lasts.






^^^^ Thread Locker^^^^

EDIT: Ooops, almost forgot, "IMSB!!!"
