Default What Is The Best Thread Of 2017 ?

As this year draws to a close we ask this same question. There are some threads that provide great information with proof (even photos and historical documentation are often provided), some provide horrible information with no factual data, outstanding/really stupid opinions, wonderful reunions, terrible transactions, hardcore restorers, *****-out modifiers, owners of the same 'Vette for 50 years, investment brokers who just now found out that there may be some money in this old stuff, etc.

I was personally astounded by the high volume of polls this year so I posted this thread as a poll, add 'em as you like, it don't cost nothing. There is plenty of space to post in this poll. If there is a current thread that looks like a contender you now have 10 remaining days to spice it up.

I sadly have not seen any posts this year from John Rosatti speaking in the third person.

Hands, down, the best post I've seen was the one that reported that John Z had bounced back from a scary-major health crisis, and had returned to his home and to this forum.

Live well,

My favorite was the one about the guy driving to another state to pick up a car offered by the owners soon to be ex. She apparently had all the paperwork in order. What followed was quite a suspenseful and entertaining thread.

I was going to start a thread on guessing who get triggered by what topic but we all know the answer to that.

Guilty here--matching numbers (original engines) and the people that think there can possibly be so many of these originally beat to death cars with their BORN with engines.

May not be the most informative, but the most read, is the Friday Funnies.

Can't argue with SJW. John Z's miraculous comeback was a true miracle and a blessing to all of us. No other thread is even on the same level.
