[sprinks]

Nah, he posted it on a separate thread too. Glad poster is safe. That looks intense.

Glad you're able to post about it.

Feel for the dude to a point....and glad a forum member lives to tune another day....but moral of the story...seems like....don't replace a blown 15 amp fuze....with a 20 amp fuse...

The sarcastic cynic asshole npc... in me....is glad it wasn't an R model...

We've all done some stupid shit. I remember using a penny to replace a fuse in a mk1 because I was stranded.

I should have burned several cars to the ground in the past with my fuckery and plain stupidity.

Don't be a cynic asshole, the world already has enough of them.

That probably was not it. It was the Bosnians.

 

[riceburner]

[Desslok]

Parked next to a Tesla, did you?

Not to be a Bosnian about the whole thing but......

If what's been said is true (about amps and such)....you may want to take that thread down @CoryJo

sounds like the suction pump flooded the charcoal canister + lines and started pissing raw gasoline out the rear passenger corner near the hot exhaust

Took it to area 27 for a half dozen ride alongs to see how other drivers take the track and their cars behave.

Made sure to give thanks to my friend who was photographing the event.

Bought a Thule cargo box for cheap.
Seller said it was full of scratches.
Ended up being only paint transfers from him storing it.

1H buffing job did the trick
Looks almost new
