i know bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily mean the worst, but Jalop/Oppo in its current form may disappear.
In that worst case scenario, is there somewhere else we can take refuge? I don't want to lose you guys!!!

I think we could always set up a forum of some sort if the worst case scenario happens... Even if I don’t want it to happen.

Probably OppositeTalk on FB if this site goes dark.

With any luck, all of the current sites will live on other platforms, and the only thing that will change is the death of Kinja.

I say Road and Track should adopt Jalopnik as a blog.

I’d prefer a forum to FB myself.
But, I think we do have a Reddit.

Same. I don’t feel like making a Facebook account.

Same, I don’t have FB too, hence a forum would be a lot easier.

Sort of offtopic, but is there some way to save published posts outside of Kinja? I mean short of copy/pasting them in a Word file

Sorry, should’ve expanded a bit more. I’m thinking if Kinja goes away, we fall back on FB temporarily until someone gets a new Oppo-forum up and running.
Odds are that unless this site is a huge resource hog for their developer team, then it probably won’t shut down. At least that’s what I’m hoping...

Would if we could, but I think it’ll all work itself out.

And we wouldn’t have this “Fiat 124 is better than Miata” nonsense :P

100% agreed. Here's hoping it all works out.

You can try this. It’s obviously got a few holes in it but it’s a step in the right direction. Just paste the url for Oppositelock and read away.

I’ve never agreed with a review more than that. Fiata > Miata

I’d be more than happy to set up a blog for us, if you all want. I’d probably start it on the web somewhere before I could get my server back set up. Thoughts?

The blog format won’t be the same though.

You can also save individual articles by pasting the articles’ respective URLs into the wayback machine.
So find a post you really like, paste it in the wayback machine and click save. Simple as that.

What about making an Oppositelock forum???? Like we used back before facebook, and some still use today.

Wow, I checked and the R&T take is different:
Anyway, moving on. The bad: The engine is laggy and sluggish on throttle at low rpm. Without the Abarth exhaust, it sounds like nothing in particular. In normal driving, and without a direct A-B comparison, the steering feels slightly woolier than that of a Miata. You still get the Miata’s incredible open cockpit and great sight lines, but the view across the 124's larger, wider, and flatter hood removes some of the Mazda’s compact, sewn-around-you vibe.
...
Basically, this is a great car made into a good one. If the Miata didn’t exist and the 124 had just been launched, the staff of this magazine would be doing cartwheels. And that’s the rub. Because the Miata does exist, and all the Fiat serves is to remind you how good that car is.
