Just the ones when he was trying to join the SCOF are absolutely hysterical, even now over a decade later.
That was an excellent thread, but it doesn't encapsulate the other 50 threads rsimoes started, asking about what he should or shouldn't do in terms of outfitting his Kirkham. He spent something like $127,000 and then immediately after finishing sold it for $88,000 +/-. And that was 10+ years ago.
However, if we're nominating best or classic threads, then I loved the one where Evan was tossed from CC. And Joe's Garage got involved too, along with Evan attacking Nedsel:

btw, I fired her up for the first time last weekend since I put her to bed in November. I had a Battery Tender on her, so I just cranked it four or five times, with the ignition disabled, until I saw the oil pressure needle move a little. Then I filled the front bowl up via the vent tube, it took about six ounces or so, then enabled the ignition and she fired up nicely on the second crank. No leaks, no moans, no groans, no backfires -- all is well.

I miss Chas and how he used to keep Patrick "in line." He would have loved giving Patrick some S about that Trigo spinner thread of Patrick's. Holy cow that would have been good entertainment.

I may getting my Cobra out of the garage this Saturday too. We'll see. There's a car show that benefits the local high school that I may go to and I don't have to wake up at dawn to get there.
You know, when I look back at past threads I'm convinced that I've become nicer over the years.
I've gotten nicer. Partly because of flagging testosterone no doubt but also not feeling the need to impress everybody as much....(says the man with the 427 CI cobra)

You know, when long time posters like that just "ghost" off the forum I figure they up and died and their survivors don't know their password to post a little note on it all.

I'll be sure to give my family and friends my password here at CC. Along with the map to the buried treasure.
There have certainly been some entertaining threads in the forums and several people have contributed to them. One of my favorites was the picture that Buzz drew and posted of Evan,Pat, and I believe it was Ernie in their Martial Arts cartoon fight.

Ten year anniversary of one of CC's greatest threads!
