A few weeks ago, I got an email from the Oppo Mods asking if I’d like to join their team. After some consideration and a week spent “shadowing” their group discussions without mod privs, I accepted their offer. Here’s a nice little 3rd person bio blurb:
For those who don’t already know, Yamahog is an engineer who has a Camaro, an R6, and a K1500 Blazer. She competes in Strongman and can be found walking into neighbors’ yards to catch new Pokemon.
On to fun things: We now have an Oppo Instagram (@Oppositelock1) and I’ll like to host a weekly #filterfriday thread where everyone can submit their own pictures, and we’ll put up our favorites with attribution. Bonus points if it is actually a filter.
Consider this our first #filterfriday open thread and please comment with your pictures and Instagram handle (optional). If you don’t have IG or would rather not have it mentioned, we can mention your kinja name instead. Credit and thanks to SaveTheV8s! for starting our IG.
PS - if you have questions/concerns about my appointment or the process surrounding it, I encourage you to email OppoModerator at gmail to ensure we all see it rather than clog the thread.

Glad to have you, its been great already! Also, having only started an instagrahams account because it was required of me when I did a thing...I don’t understand what the filter thing is all about. Post a car pic with their filters? or just any pic? also...how the hell do you put an instacrackers on the kinja?

Though I am inclined to be all ‘merica all the time, I had a Magnusson carry event in my last show and I died it gave me a greater appreciation for the man/myth/legend.

I believe you will be a great asset to the Oppo community as a mod.
Although you might have some backlash, you do often get in debates where you might have made some enemies.
Just stay cool. This is exciting, congratulations!

Thanks! I just wanted an alliteration for the thread, doesn’t actually need a filter but at least tangentially car related is the best :) and you can copy the IG permalink into a kinja comment and it’ll show nicely.

Unfortunately Annabelle passed in May after 5 happy hog years, but I have an archive of her photos and the vet made us a plaster impression of her little paws.

Not for much longer... the 4L60 just lost 3rd and OD, vomited burnt ATF all over my bike while towing it to a track day, causing me to miss said track day.

Well, you know, I just happened to see you starring any comment talking shit to/about me, and I thought to myself “You know, I’ve never seen a mod do that”. But then I saw you starring all of Xylo’s comments...
You know what? Fuck it. I think I'll be taking a break.

Mods can and do star as they please, especially outside of Oppo. I’m not sure how you’ve not realized that before now.
