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

[Mark IV]

Coming up on ten years for one of the most entertaining threads here ever IMHO. As many of the current members here have not been around that long, here is the link: I THOUGHT THIS SITE WAS SCAM FREE !!!!!!AUSSIE RIPPED OFF $5,000 by JBo !!!!

Be warned you need some time and food/drink before you start reading it. I can't believe it's been ten years since Luigi brightened our day.

17 pages and 340 posts. Interesting.

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.

Ah, the classics!

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.

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:

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.

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)
