My gf isn't a car person, she likes cars that she thinks looks good...and she doesn't like being shown E30's orrr E36's :/ Oh, and btw, my name is Nathaniel, I've been posting/commenting on OPPO for roughly 2 weeks now, not gotten to know many people, but alot of you are awesome :) I live in Colorado, drive a 65' Beetle and a 350Z, 22 year's old, working at UPS, and if anyone wants to ever talk, feel free to hit me up, I'm always up for a chat, especially one about cars ;) Also, noticing alot of Colorado'ans here, I was hoping maybe we could organize a Colorado OPPO meet once the weathers nice maybe? Who knows, but any who, I hope I'm doing a good job as a part of the OPPO family :)

Welcome! My girlfriend doesn't like E30s as well. Ok, she doesn't dislike them, but she has kindly requested that I don't drive mine to work (no airbags, old rolling pile of metal and glass...supposedly not safe. Damn logic!). So now mine mostly sits idle in my parking garage :(

Horses gotta run!

Cool stuff and welcome to oppo!

What cars does your gf think looks good?

Nah, it was a basket case when first got, been restored (then fallen apart a bit again, but way better then it was), 1641 cc dual port built by Painters grinding in Denver, single Carb atm, but realyyyyyy needs Duals with the cam its running. Winter car atm, seeing as..the Z will get stuck, and the Beetle won't.

WELCOME TO OPPO

WE ARE AN ACID TRIP ON WHEELS

CPT Speedbump > Party-vi 01/22/2014 at 17:06

Feel free to ask more specifically about it if you want, atm I'm saving for parts for the Z, but hopefully the Beetle will get Dual carbs and disk brakes at some point

Don't have many new ones on the laptop, but I'll see what older ones I can dig up real quick.

I (unlike most of us OPPO's) actually like dubstep/edm..not all of it of course, but some of it, lol

CPT Speedbump > ZHP Sparky, the 5th 01/22/2014 at 17:15

At least you get to own one!!! Lol, My Z should be like that someday I hope, but I'll still want to drive it ;)

Well, her last car was a 2 door Audi 5..series? She is ok with the A/S4's and The E90 3 series's, likes the Audi R8, Mclaren 12 C. About all I can list.

I do want to :) just need new tires, and..to know how to get involved..a much closer road course would be nice too -.- all the places they do anything like that in Colorado are about 2 hours south of me.

I think only us gearhead guys like E30s. Not that many girls like them.

Have you seen that show "Hello Ladies" on HBO? The main character is a geeky guy who has trouble getting girls. He has a totally mint E30. Which must mean the writers think it's a dorky old car... That don't know that it's actually awesome sauce :)

CPT Speedbump > Manuél Ferrari 01/22/2014 at 17:25

Not scene it, no, and us gear heads are kind of dorks in our own right really ;)

Standard welcome from the DD.

You'll be sorrrrry.....This is a land where things are not as they seem and before you realize there is no escape, you are trapped ...This, my friends, is the OPPO ZONE.

Welcome.

Very nice! Be sure to keep updates on that car on oppo, people will love it.

CPT Speedbump > Brian Silvestro 01/22/2014 at 17:37

0

Alright, well update for now, it's not looking as good as it did a few years ago, but driving fine atm, not liking the cold, and a bit dirty with salt and snow, but it gets alot of attention, and I love it :) I love both my cars really :) And even the people who don't like cars often look at it...probably because the 2 overpowered 10 inch subs in the back...

Brian Silvestro > CPT Speedbump 01/22/2014 at 17:43

0

Ha! The car's looks will attract attention on it's own, and the subs just add to that.

Well Pendulm is drum and bass, so there are actually people playing! So, it's plenty cool to like them, great driving music too.

Colorado OPPO meet up sounds great! I'll bring my sn95, someone with authorship on oppo should make a post so we can get something in the works.

Well my girlfriend doesn't even know what a Mercedes is, it took her basically one month before I told her that our second car is a Mercedes. I'm so proud of her.

Well, its kinda the same with clothes, I really couldn't give a damn if it were a Louis Vuitton dress or a H&M dress she wore. So I think it goes the same way around :=)

Your girlfriend seems like she has bad taste.

Dump woman, buy E30. Problem solved.

Gahhhh I hate Kinja. It's a silver one, with flames down the side. Looks kinda ricer-street racer ish.

Try #2

CPT Speedbump > Dingers Ghost, Champion Jockey 01/22/2014 at 19:36

Yeah, they all look like that really..and they messed up the roof line..but still.. I own a 350Z, I feel like I need the HW version -.- ..apparently there's a silver Top Secret one... (just googled)... wants :/

Dingers Ghost, Champion Jockey > CPT Speedbump 01/22/2014 at 19:39

It does look like the roof line is muffed up. At least you're lucky enough, you can actually get a hot wheels of your car.

What do you drive again? and yeah, it is, they gave it a chop top -.-

So the Z is your DD and the Beetle will be a toy at some point? I can dig it.

Party-vi > CPT Speedbump 01/22/2014 at 20:05

Neat! I've had a few close calls in my non-wintery car the past few days, but my 4x4 gets terrible gas mileage. It would cost me $32 to commute to work each day.

Dingers Ghost, Champion Jockey > CPT Speedbump 01/22/2014 at 20:07

An 01 Ford Ranger. But I'd love to find a Ranger of any year.

CPT Speedbump > Party-vi 01/22/2014 at 20:08

Yeah, I had to drive the Z in the snow for a weak (beetles alternator was like, hiiiiii, im dead)...summer tires, open diff, sports car... not fun on snow -.-

Party-vi > CPT Speedbump 01/22/2014 at 20:09

Same here - I've got a 330Ci that gave me a few squirrely moments.

CPT Speedbump > Party-vi 01/22/2014 at 20:09

0

Atm, both are DD's depending my mood ;) and the weather...the beetle is the winter car atm, I'm hoping to make the Z a auto X/drift/hoon car, and the beetle..maybe a drag car someday? or just a fun car..also, it was my first car :) but hoping for a truck or somthing to appear in my life to dd, lol

CPT Speedbump > Party-vi 01/22/2014 at 20:12

lol, nice, I'm hoping for a LSD soon, but still..then I'll give it stiffer suspension, big breaks, and eeven more power, so..not snow going, haha, I had the most epiiccc drift in the Z...I'm sure it looked insane, and awesome, but inside the car I was close to shitting my pants -.-
