At the risk of sounding stupid, I have a question

"sm70- why not Duesenberg?" (sm70-whynotduesenberg)

What do y'all mean when you talk about and SR20 for a picture. Cuz I'm assuming nobody's taking pictures with a Nissan 4cyl or a tiny plane. Golf GTI for my ignorance.

I think it's because there used to be a guy on here named "SR20" who bragged about having a seriously modified car, but never put up any photos of it...

Can't remember exactly why, though

It's an old Oppo meme that basically means, "Pics or it didn't happen." I'm not sure of the details behind it, but I'm sure somebody will chime in. Nice GTI, btw. My favorite Mk.

That cleared it up, thanks. Just for amusement's sake, is there a link to his old account or any evidence of it anywhere?

I don't think so, this was before Kinja IIRC..

Some more background: He claimed to own a Lotus Esprit. I think it was a Turbo, but it could've been a V8. Anyway, he mentioned the car in many of his posts, including a story that he was pulled over for speeding. The cop recognized the car, asked "hey, are you SR20 from Jalopnik?, and let him off without a ticket.

All of it was bullshit.

He still has an account, but doesn't post nearly as often. He fessed up long ago.

His account is still active and he stops by on a rare occasion. You'll have to do a lot of digging to find it though. July 2011, IIRC. I don't even know if Oppo posts/comments from that time are available anymore.
