Yes, that's a goodie. But nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the rsimoes disaster. New to the Cobra world? Have you always dreamed of having a Cobra? Read carefully. We passed its ten year anniversary last September, but it only seems like yesterday that it was going on.  |

The sad part is, when you go back and read one of those old threads, you remember the members that have passed on, or gotten rid of their cars, or who ended up getting banned for one reason or another.  rsimoes was really a wealth of fun, goofy threads. Just the ones when he was trying to join the SCOF are absolutely hysterical, even now over a decade later. |

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:
Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?
That's a classic and it was only 2015. |

You know, when I look back at past threads I'm convinced that I've become nicer over the years.  |

Good times.
I miss Evan. And Chas, too.
Gotta keep it a little spicy.

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 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. |

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'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)

I miss Evan too. It was always entertaining to wind him up and watch him implode.

I bet Computerworks and Jamo are glad he's gone. When it came to website moderation, he was "high maintenance."
And he just kept repeating the same mantra on every thread that he particpated in/on here at CC. OK, I miss giving him a hard time.
Here's one for good old time sake "Ned The Curator." |
