On a more somber note, RIP my dad's Porsche. As I'd mentioned to you guys in passing, he'd been restoring a 996 series 911 after years without anything more mobile than a minivan. He'd just finished replacing the seats and top, was on his way home, and smoke started filling the cabin. He pulled into a parking lot, popped the front, and saw flames. Not much in the front except wiring and the battery, so most likely a wiring issue. He couldn't get at it with his floormats, quickly called 911 (2 blocks from a fire house) but it took them more than 10 minutes to roll out by which time the whole car was just a column of flames. Heartbreaking :-/ He took it pretty well, all things considered.
