No question... a burning magnesium engine case is an awesome sight.
Plus, it has the added benefit of attracting all sorts of kooks from

look around the fire and don't recognize ANYONE from the parking lot
earlier. Dang!  How did everyone slip away without me noticing?

Good times.

Only 42 days until the case burns.
