Evan, I've known him offline for close to 20 years, a lot of fun to poke at (most always in jest), easy to push his buttons (again, 99% of the time in jest) just as he knew it was easy to push some of ours. Has (had) a nice collection of cars, but took/takes each marque far too seriously for his own good. Love him or hate him, he has a passion for those automobiles. Perhaps I'll seen him next time I'm in state, you never know......

So, I thought we could all share some of our personal highlights of his many years of participation on this site. Doesn't have to be negative comments either. He contributed a wealth of insight and knowledge to this forum as well as instigating some of the longest threads purely by his refusal to admit defeat. Just post a memorable experience that you would like to share.

Let's limit this to things that he actually did or said and try to keep our personal opinions to a minimum. Don't want to bash the guy when he can't chime in and defend himself. Just some personal anecdotes that helped define his presence on this forum.

I'll start: Back in 2007 when I first joined, I challenged his real-versus-original claim in one of his many threads. I guess I pushed his button too hard. He took me offline and came at me like a New Jersey street lawyer. After a few back and forths, he blocked my email so I couldn't respond to him any longer. From that point on, I thoroughly enjoyed batting the ball back and forth with him on this public forum. He definitely mellowed as the years went by, but he never backed down from his point, even when he was offered overwhelming proof to the contrary. That's what made it so much fun to goad him.

Ok, your turns!

Oh, and if this is too controversial or improper, just let it die or close it down.
