Its an annual event for me, but seeing that burned out hulk of a van just
made me think about it even more. I wasn't trying to sound like a lecture.

FWIW, I think a gas leak onto an engine is gonna start a fire whether its
air-cooled or a waterbox.  Don't want to start a 'flame war' over this tho

>it sounds nice. i need a good stereo.

Everything inside was torched or melted. :(  I didn't tell the story very
well.........
