Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Got into my '99 Porsche C2 this am , started it up and a huge plume of smoke came out along with a nasty sound that I have never heard before. Oil on the garage floor,and the engine sound is similar to a tin can with marbles in it. So, I restarted the engine, more smoke and noise, even after revving the engine for 10 minutes or so. I drove it to work (35 miles) in the snow. My transmission is barely engaging any gear without crunching and the clutch is so hard to engage. Dash lights are blinking along with CEL and as I approached my office, I slid into my bosses new BMW and damaged my front end and his driver's side completely, and he witnessed the whole thing.
Anyone else having these issues today?
Had it at "even after revving the engine for 10 minutes or so."
Told my kids this morning that the school board forgot about a holiday and there was no school today, you should have seen the look of disapointment when they figured out it was April fools day!
Nicely done. April fools isn't supposed to be humorous, it's meant to fool. Well done chap
There will always be somebody that is put off by it. Can't worry about that.
For me, I have to admit you had me for a sec. After I read your OP I started screaming at the computer when you said you decided to go ahead and drive to work after hearing the marbles in the tin can. Then I realized there was no way that I was going to get suckered in
I'm no statistician, but I have learned from the Rennlist family some of the do's and dont's while taking ownership of the Porsche 996. I was surprised to see that no one else had been the 'April-Fooler'today, so I thought I'd try.
This was classic! Amazing how some bit that hook, line and sinker. Especially the IMS bit. Hilarious!
I also heard Ed sold ALL his extra parts laying around the garage floor. Well done Steve.
