It's good to be back! I've been locked out of oppo for like 2 years and it suddenly worked again. I love this community and happy to be a vocal part of it again. I now work for a large auto publication doing photo/video work and I recently covered the Beijing Auto Show. Anything you guys want to know about the show or what it's like to be a young auto journo?

Also: I'm still learning this Kinja boogaloo so be patient with me, please

Craziest car would be the Konigeggseggiggiseegg One:1. That thing has major presence in person and the carbon fiber wheels are way cool. There were also a ton of just plain wierd China only cars.

But the craziest thing was how the Chinese showgoers mobbed the fashion models. Honestly it was like if the Spice Girls performed at an all boys junior high. I've never seen anything like it.

My job is very awesome. I saw a knockoff X3 and a knockoff VW Phaeton made by Haval and Ssong Yon respectively.

Yep, as the title states. I got tired of telling people so I put it in the username. This thing is getting up there, I actually don't drive it much as I drive work trucks a lot now. Up to 254K miles, If the Ellio gets produced I will likely get that and say goodbye to the metro.

Wow 254k is crazy. Us cultus guys gotta stick together! These things are getting rare on the ground here in Canada

about a month ago I missed out on getting my own swift Gti by I'd say about 6 hours emailing for $1300. 4door sedans are mostly what I see for sale now. I'll keep driving that thing until it falls apart.

Dude, I remember you! You're the guy with the 280z and swift, right?

It's actually coming up on two years now since I found oppo, myself.
