As of today (actually as of this second, I scheduled this post for exactly the same time as my first post), I have had posting privileges here in this awesome community for exactly one year and it all started with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
In the past year, I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I went to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , Went to numerous car shows and events. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I didnt have my license at that point and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! was nice enough to drive me to and from in his 350Z. I have met many, many local Oppos. Oh and the most important events this year; !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! right after !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a Ford Ranger that I share a birthday with to the month/year and that has a manual transmission. I bought a manual truck before I got my license and also before I knew how to even drive stick. As of now, I have only had my license 5 months and have 90% more miles in a stick than in an auto. I had my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and I have been 100% hands on with my truck. I have grown so much as a person and as a gearhead in this past year and I owe it all to all of you, thank you.

Alot has happened to Oppo in the past year as well. We lost some people, gained some people, got offered jobs working at google, helped each other through personal struggles as well as automotive struggles, we fought over important things and fought over stupid things. But through all of this, I like to think that we grew closer as a community... No, a Family. Through thick and thin, Motor Oil heals all wounds and tire smoke is the best medicine.
I just want to thank all of you for welcoming me into this group, I would have gone crazy without you guys (considering no one else in my family (besides my brother (and he wouldnt have been one if I wasnt one (He once said he didnt need a license and would just ride his bicycle everywhere))) is a gear head).
Here's to another great year!

I'm not sure how long I've been on Oppo, but I got starred (pre-Kinja) on Jalopnik almost 5 years ago. Congrats.

I think I've been here at least as long. I remember posting on kotaku back when Mass Effect 2 came out (and you could still buy the PC version in a store)

Meant to say "starred on Jalopnik". I'm not sure when exactly I discovered Oppo. It's too bad there isn't an easy way to backtrack to your first post.

I remembered my first post, I just googled it to know when it was. Perks of having a great long term memory. Now, If only my short term memory was that good. I have a saying to describe how I remember things: "Tell me something now and I'll remember it in 2 weeks, but once I remember it I will never forget it"

I just remember that you reposted that Mustang article at least half a million times within a few weeks.

Haha, I thought it was a Kinja error at first or something.
