Assembled here are the best Oppositelock posts from last Friday through Sunday. It includes the Toyobaru, car and music enthusiasts, BRZ vs. used Cayman and cars that don't get enough love - the e21.

Rear-wheel-drive, lightweight, 200bhp, 2+2 seating, and a proper manual transmission. These are qualities I want out of a sports car. The back seat is perfect to carry an extra set of tires for a track day. The chassis has enough potential mechanically to exploit the limits of the car in an enthusiastic fashion. Around the Orange County area, I see quite a few of these cars on the road. But, is it a step short of greatness? !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Yup, cars and music, very much alike. And that's probably the best way to explain your passion to non enthusiast freinds. Seriously, try it next time, it works! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

After six months of considerate, contemplative car shopping, I've just bought a slow, thrashy-sounding Subaru that doesn't have AWD. Its back seats are useless, its interior is just on the right side of 1996, and it is 63 bhp down on my last ride (the totally bonkers 2nd-gen Mazdaspeed3). Yes, the Scibaru Chimaera gets a lot of hate here on Oppo for all these reasons and more! And by more, I mean specifically, it gets bashed for costing the same as a used Cayman but not being as good. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

If the alphanumeric "E21" doesn't ring a bell, I don't blame you. The E21 is the unloved and forgotten middle child of early BMW sports sedans. Sandwiched between the iconic 2002 and the legendary E30 the first 3 series is mysteriously absent from the enthusiast scene. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Something struck me funny when I first saw it. It's not my usual type of car. I had owned three Mr2's in the past, but this time I wanted something different. Eventually, I had made my choice. I took home a gray, 2006 Ford Crown Victoria, the Police Interceptor edition. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Sometimes a car gets lost to the passage of time. But like a fine wine, some only get better with age. Introducing the car you never knew you wanted, the Babich Lenigrad. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I'm not a huge fan of the 1971-1973 Mustangs. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with those model years, but I'd place quite a few other Pony/Muscle cars from the 60s and 70s before them on "my list". Still, the sad pictures of the Mystery Mach 1 make me want to adopt and nurse it to former glory right now! It hurts me to see the car sitting there abandoned and it pains me to know that with every day that passes a recovery will be more and more difficult and expensive. Hopefully it'll be saved before a restoration will be futile. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Honda released the Civic Tourer Concept in March 2013, low and behold it's now sitting on our driveway! We loved the 1.6 i-DTEC engine in the Civic hatch that we tested last year, so we went for the same power plant once again. The 1.6 litre diesel lump provides 118 BHP and a whopping 300 Nm of torque, to help keep things feeling peppy. 0-60 is dispatched in 10.5 seconds. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Right now, I want you to head on down to JonathonW8 retail, motel, hotel, boats, and trucks for the most epic of Crazy deals! We have this brand spanking new Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab and it's the perfect truck for you! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

It feels weird to write to you here, but I wanted to thank you.
First of all for your work. Because I try to keep up with everything that is posted on Oppo, I can imagine how time consuming it is.
And secondly I'm glad that you seem to like my posts and I am deeply grateful that you list them in your Best of Oppo lists regularly.
I really appreciate it, so thank you again!
Drunk and euphoric greetings from Germany,
Mark
