Can’t wait. What plans do you have this weekend, OPPO?
I’ve tagged this “OPPOroads” if we want to make this a thing. Would make it easy to search for fellow Opponauts’ favorite drives.

Carve pumpkins, go to the dump, make a paper mache head and go visit my buddy’s farm.

Work. Work. Work.
Then go begin my weekend of house/dog sitting for my cousins at their place in the north end of Chicago.

Continue working on halloween costumes with my partner. She’s going as Imperator Furiosa and I’m going as Mad Max. Lots of sewing, fabricating & leather work still to go.
We’re also going to the Steelyard’s Halloween Iron Pour in Providence. It is basically people doing insane things with molten metal.

That looks fun as hell! What are you using to tackle this OPPOroad? I’m going on our annual family pumpkin patch trip tomorrow.

Some kind of pumpkin haul race/obstacle course. Then watching the race on Sunday while I prep my bedroom to refinish the floor.

I came up behind a horse and rider in the highway one time - yikes!

Less fun. For what?

Nice house? Nice dogs?

Sounds like fun.

Yes to both, and there’s a nice bar with good food like 3 doors away where I can watch F1 on Sunday!

Good times - we took the kids last weekend. Our place has a big petting zoo, too. They love it.
Here’s our ride (taking my wife for the first time; usually it’s a guys trip):

Start to pack up the house. I am moving my friend, and my days in this city are numbered. I have about a month less a day to go.

Spectating 24 Hours of LeMons Halloween Hooptiefest at NHMS. Doing something with it for RFD. Also getting some pics of my lady’s Ford Flex to go with a review I’m writing.
And a hot tub. No, I won’t be writing a review of that.

Well, there’s the Air Force museum there. Also a ‘59 Lincoln.

Air Force museum, and to look at Jarod Rose’s ‘59 Lincoln.

I spectated this one a couple of years ago and had a blast. I’d love to drive in one someday, but even spectating is worth doing, especially if you love crappy cars like I do.

Econ essay to finish before 1, work tonight, me lovingly polishing the headlights of my matrix, and afterward I'm partially plasti dipping my grille to make it cooler.

I’d also love to be on a team. I got an invite to join a WRL team last year, but the timing just wasn’t right (buying all your race safety gear is not cheap). I’ll definitely do it one day, though.

Screen shot take . Will save this route for later!

JELLY!!!! That’s the stuff of dreams, my friend. Enjoy! That will be my car one day, I tell you. Perfect replacement for an E90 335i!

Thanks. It has been a dream come true... I still look at it in the garage and think, “Damn, that’s mine .” It’s an ‘08, bought in the summer of ‘12. Previous car was an ‘05 Mazda 3s hatch that I drove for 7 years and 90k miles. In the last few years, I’ve had it out on track several times where it always impresses (my local track Hallett most often, and MSR-Cresson for one weekend), and every spring and fall we do a long weekend driving trip, usually to the Ozarks of NW Arkansas. And it’s a pleasure to drive every day. I’ve got a tune and an exhaust, and the “feels” and aural experience this thing offers with each drive are hard to quantify!

Wait... Are you heading to Branson tomorrow?

I guess that’s legit. Go to Bill’s donuts for me please?
![]() 10/23/2015 at 13:10 |

That’s funny! My E90 335 is an ‘08 as well, and before that I had an ‘06 Mazda 3S GT sedan.
Glad to hear it has been a good experience. I look forward to one day achieving that same goal!
![]() 10/23/2015 at 13:21 |

Great minds...
The 335 is no slouch! Lots of people make that move, and while some miss the torque at low revs, it seems like very few regret the decision.
![]() 10/23/2015 at 13:34 |

I’m thinking about adding a tune to my 335 and seeing where that takes me. I recently upgraded the suspension a bit, which I’m very happy with, but I think a tune is the next step. Any advice?

Have to go to my boss’ daughter’s Halloween birthday party tomorrow.
And then doing pads and shoes on my mom’s car Sunday.

Have fun. We’re in Eureka tonight and are hooking up with them in Branson tomorrow. Weather has turned out a lot better than expected. Have my wife along this time, so driving at 3/4trs of normal pace this trip (my brakes are thanking me!).

Just heard about the accident. Damn...

Luckily we weren’t there, but a tragedy none the less. It’s very sad, when you see the lives she took.

Nothing makes it better, but I hope she goes away for a very long time...

Agreed.
