This post is intended as a humorous anecdote regarding the never-ending problems with overheated thirdgens. We didn't realize the pic looked like this untill later.:sillylol:

I had the only Thirdgen that day that didn't overheat, and the only one without a front air intake (the red T/A in the foreground)


I also want to give a photo credit. I believe that Zepher took this one.
