A lot of us have been commenting on the FP for so long, some longer than others. We have highlights, and we have lowlights. The question is... what’s the thread you’re most proud of, and what’s the thread you’d rather burn out of The Wayback Machine?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
If you click this comment, you’ll see my worst thread.

Now, it’s your turn. Be very honest with yourself, aye?

This is why I hate the ‘handle’ function on Kinja. I couldn’t for the life of me, dig up that code to log in to my old profile. I had some golden stuff on there and spent a lot of years on Jalop with that account. FFS...

I got a COTD once for http://oppositelock.kinja.com/lord-if-its-yo…
I’d argue it is both my best and worst work :D

This one was pretty good. I called Patrick out on using the wrong lede image before reading that he was already aware he used the wrong (but more popular) image.
I did the only thing I could. Defend the shit out of
Iron Eagle.

I had a COTD. That was my finest work.

I have a terrible memory and no motivation to hunt through my old stuff, but my first COTD was WAAAAAAY back with this honey of a video I hastily threw together.

Probably one of my worst moments was in one of those Morning Shift articles where a manufacturer was proudly reporting its recent profits, and I felt the need to vent about expensive luxury trucks.
But my favorite thread happened just a few weeks ago, when that “Hector’s Accord” from The Fast and the Furious popped up for sale. The ad was brought up on Oppo first, and there was some discussion questioning whose car it really was in the movie. So when Jalopnik posted an article about the ad, I decided to investigate further. I was never expecting to dig so deep, but before I knew it, I had a pretty good analysis going.

Never got COTD, or that much notability on the FP at all, really. I made AOTD twice before it went away, though.
My favorite post of mine is my Oppo review of my 3rd gen, although I was disappointed with the lack of interest in it compared to the effort I expounded on it.

My best one is also my first post on Oppo. Also my only one that’s ever been shared to the Jalopnik front page:

Edit: remembered my worst one.... I used to have a different account on Jalopnik. That one got banned from posting for an off-kilter comment. I’m not gonna say any more.

Not really threads, but post wise I loved either my School bus review:
http://oppositelock.kinja.com/2003-freightli… (if you search Thomas School bus review it’s the 1st result on Google and was front paged
Or my Publix Shopping cart review: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/2014-publix-sh… (first if you search Publix Shopping cart)
Worst would be during my severe depression and confusion days ranting about girls which I cringe looking at now
