If all the Gawker shit hits the fan and Jalopnik/Oppo disappears, like tomorrow?

I say Jalopnik/Oppo, but I really mean all of the Gawker-verse. I don’t set foot outside of Jalopnik/Oppo, so I personally won’t miss the rest of it. Will suck for all the (good) writers though, that’s for sure.

Not everybody has Facebook.

(I do, but I hate going on Facebook. My feed is 1,005% Bernie Sanders, and fight videos.)

Edit: I am in that group though.

If Oppo goes down, I won’t really have the need for internet, so I agree with this.

NO!

First, we must drop kick Kinja to Pluto, and replace it with a viable alternative.

Only then can we think about moving things.

Wear your Oppo sticker with pride. Make sure it’s visible to anyone passing you or is getting passed. We will find each other in the wild, we will talk about cars, and we will continue to go on our own ways to discover other members.

...Or just join the facebook group that I keep forgetting to join.

We’d be scattered to the wind. Some would end up at R&T, some to Reddit, others to cardomain. Maybe we could start a Kickstarter campaign to purchase “oppositelock.com”?

He’s back. He was just gone for most of last month taking some time off and picking up another shitheap of a Beetle from the other side of the country.

He was on vacation for a while and recently came back - he’s been writing posts about the classic Beetle that he picked up, but he doesn’t seem to be responsible for daily content anymore.

I’ll call my guy.

That sounds like a recipe for some amazing ideas, and some not so great ones. Imagine the majority of Oppo all living in the same building.

“Hey Scoob did you grab my package? I had a new cover for my shifter coming in?”

“I burned it, you filthy automatic peasant”

Or what the lofts would look like?

“Now what we need to do is move the stack of Michelin defenders across the room so I have room to sleep”

“CALEB THOSE ARE CLEARLY YOUR YOKOHAMA ADVAN SPORTS’, AND YOU SAID YOU WOULD JUST PUT YOUR COT ON TOP OF THEM”

Or the cooking?

“What’s for dinner?”

“No idea, I’ve been downstairs in the garage all day and forgot about it”

“THAT’S TWO WEEKS RUNNING”

Or the inevitable power struggle?

“I, BENJAMIN ROLLAND HAVE BECOME MASTER OF ALL THE LAND”

“Ben, shut up, it’s 3AM and you just got the top bunk, calm down mate.”

Nope, I say that with complete sarcasm. I worked out in it, and then drove back from Summerville in it. I used to like rain, but now I hate it.

Autocross this Saturday at the Michellin tire facility in Laurens, SC...it’s gonna rain. You’re more than welcomed to join us or, hell, at least ride up there with me in the Miata.

But if it’s still wet Thursday, I might. Or I might swim. Or fix the 4Runner’s window. Or do nothing.

I might ride, but I’ve about opted out of the Autocross for a while at least. I like my warranty, and horror stories have gotten to me. Along with insurance stories.

Hopefully the water’s getting warm, because you might as well swim. Hope your world isn’t on fire as well.

Yes, but it’s 5$ on-site fee on top of the 40$ non-SCCA member ship fee. That said, if you sign up to become a SCCA member (my reference number is 435777, for a small discount), then you might be able to get this autocross or the next one (Darlington, June) free.

Just due to the weather, I think I’ll sit this one out, but I do plan on doing one. I think I will do the SCCA membership though.

Do the membership, save up money for Darlington’s date (June 12th, Sunday), come attend Black Lake this weekend as a spectator anyway?
