Default Best Thread Ever

What is your best thread ever that you can remember on this forum?
I don’t remember the exact title, but something like this:
How am I supposed to tell her about my 997 ?

What about the one "have you ever pushed the gas pedal all the way down?"

He went on to seriously say he had never done it, but was thinking about trying it.

That one took the cake.

Thanks, I can admit now that that was a shameless troll, but what fun it was. I loved the responses.

Yes indeed, it is one of the best. I just went back and read it again and still crack off. The best part was when you wanted to take it back; I almost fell off my chair.

Amen to that. I laughed to tears first time I started that one. What a beginning.

What's the IHI thread?

My favorite thread is anything documenting a Euro delivery. Those are always fantastic reads.

+1. That was one of my favorites too! (Shame he's been expelled. OCBen was a lot of things but certainly the straw that stirred the drink on a lot of threads.)

Another vote for the "what to do when it rains" thread.

But for me, my personal "best thread ever" was my very first thread posted. When I introduced this forum to my pride and enjoy - my Basalt Black beauty! I still love this car more than ever!
