My friends are not gearheads. As much as I love 'em, I can't spark a passion for cars in them. I've given up. But I'll still Oppo in front of them, whether they like it or not. Here's what they said.
"What's Oh-po?"
Dammit, guys. It's pronounced "Ah-po". Anyway...
Traffic
My buddies visit non-car forums, so they know the deal. They were very impressed with how quick your responses are. Replies are often instantaneous.
"Wow, this is a pretty fast-moving board!"
Damn right it is. 0 - 60 is reached in a blazing fast 13.6 seconds, on par with a turbo-diesel NA Miata wagon stick-shift. Or something.
Proper Spelling, Grammar, and Punctuation
They were impressed with how articulately we communicate with each other. At first they were all like:
"Merrr. Aren't car guys like, not good spellers and stuff?"
Oh, for fuck's sake.
After I explained earning authorship privileges to them, and showed them how well you guys understand the English language, they were actually quite impressed. If not jealous.
Content
It was a little iffy at first. There's a lot of inside jokes even some non-Oppo gearheads wouldn't get (turbo-diesel Miata?).
They did enjoy the hilarious .gifs, tongue-in-cheek humor, one-liner zingers, etc. Or whatever it is that makes this place more entertaining than, say, the comments section over at carbuzz.com (the horror!).
Courtesy
You guys are helpful and well-mannered. Maybe not always mature, though. This place gets a little raunchy at times, but nearly everyone is respectful. My friend !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and you guys delivered! Mad props, yo.
So Will They Be Back?
Of course not. These guys wouldn't know the difference between drivetrains if they oversteered into a bush. Nonetheless, did you guys make a good impression? Damn right you did. Well done, boys.
92/100, would hoon (if they were into that sort of thing).
H/T to Party-vi for the lede pic!

Did you just do an Oppo review of Oppo? I'm pretty sure that's genius, but I'll have to think about it for a bit.

If you want to avoid Kinja inserting the little related story blurb and messing up your formatting, use a link shortener like goo.gl to make the link a non-kinja url.
Love this post though. Kudos.

Thanks. The story blurb is OK, but the pictures didn't fall where I dropped them. For example, I put the "mad props" pic above the "So Will They Be Back?"

That might be the inserted link messing with it. See if changing the link thing fixes it. Otherwise, try to find a larger copy of that image (if it's less than 640 pixels wide, Kinja will crop it to 320 pixels and funny things start happening with the text).

Well, if they can sort Nibbles and his friend Lucas, oppo would make a nearly perfect forum!

Man, it took like 10 minutes of Googling to find that. Apparently "jalopnik opposite lock logo" turns up nothing. Thanks for making it though. I'm still just leaning how to edit photos now, and I've got a long way to go. I'd love to know what program the editors use. They've got the flashiest shit out there.

Ask Raphael - he'd probably tell you. Or Jason, but you might need to ply him with VW Beetle parts.
