disappointing
Dand, I wanted to see ice breaking out of the waterpump and sides of motor, that would've have been a great "use antifreeze picture"
housings cracked with ice coming out (I may end up photoshopping it I want to see it so badly)

Ouch, sucks to be that owner 
One of our 20b guys here in MN destroyed his motor because he didn't drain the block after using water for leak down testing.
Hestored it for the winter and found a horrifying site in the summer.
Poor guy.

freeze plugs out are not that bad damage, this is a lot worse :

lol ya sry mark ive learned my lesson of never letting anyone else drive my car no matter who they say they are. and yes ppl the car we're all talking about is mine and it would of had a full coolant flush and antifreeze added befor the tempetures started droping below freezeing but some one drove the crap out of my car and made it so it wouldnt run, so ther was no way i could get the anti freeze into the block. and go figure i found out what was causeing my car not to run the same day the spyder and i wher takeing a look over things and heard fluid pooring out the back of the motor...
