Do you like leaving the trunk of your Cadillac open when there’s a group shot being taken?

Do you like meeting strangers from the internet, letting them cook food for you and being able to make it home safely?

Do you like driving your car all over for no particularly good reason?

Do you live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York or Connecticut (or love driving from even further out)?

Then you know what time it is, Oppo!

OPPO MEETUP TIME!

A bunch of random misfits from this very fine webpage you’ve come to know as Oppo are going to be meeting up in a local New Jersey supermarket parking lot!

When it is going to happen you ask? In a couple of weeks! July 31 ! It’s even a Sunday!

There are so many supermarkets, which one will I choose? The Acme in Oak Ridge, NJ ! It’s very easy to find and has a huge parking lot! Right off of Oak Ridge Road, just about half way between Rt 15 and Rt 23! Easily accessible from Rt 80 and 287!

When should you arrive? 10am ! We’re going to wait until about 11-11:30am before embarking on a short but quite spirited drive!

Why are we meeting at a Supermarket? So we can buy frozen food, charcoal and snacks to cook with fire on a grill! We’re going to have a cookout at Wawayanda State Park !

Should you bring anything else? $10 to get into the park, a few bucks to pitch in for buying food , and a good attitude for the day! We may be trolls in front of the keyboard, but leave it at the door, because Oppo meetups are fun for everyone!

How can I RSVP to this fine event?! Shoot me an email! [my username] @ gmail . com! I’ll keep a list of everyone who’s coming and keep you all updated as I know more people are coming! The more the merrier! So far the biggest meetup has been 12 cars and 16 people! Can we do better than that?!

What if I don’t own a cool car? Doesn’t matter what you drive, and you don’t even have to wash it to attend. There will be no trophies, but probably a lot of judging going on!

Is there anything else that you should know about this? Absolutely! The driveway into Wawayanda is a bit bumpy and has a couple of speed humps. If you drive a slammed car, you may have trouble. The HEMIWagon is lowered, and I drove in just fine today. It’s bumpy, but it works.

What if I can’t make it to this meetup? There will be more! There’s going to be a Second Annual Wagon Train, and the Fourth Annual Tri State Meetup will be held in November! Want more details on either of those? Shoot me an email!

I would come, but I’m too far away. There should be a Ontario meet somewhere in the GTA. There are a few oppo’s around there to make it worth it.

No worries, late September or October might be a Sports Coupe meetup. Ill put together something for that. Trying to go to new places as well.

Phew! Not a single dead body. Not too bad for first time cooking on charcoal.

I'd like to meet up, but it's just too far for me, even though I live in this state. 2.5+ hours each way.

I’ll be coming back from a long weekend of camping up at Lime Rock Park on Sunday so probably won’t make it as I doubt I’ll be in any condition to be there by 10:30 (there might be a lot of drinking that weekend).

There’s a 90% chance I’ll go. I may be willing to drive a fellow NYC Oppo member or 2 if they’d like to meet in Manhattan to be picked up/dropped off.

Of course I’ll be in Connecticut that weekend. I’ll keep an eye out for the Wagon Train (hatchbacks count, right?) and November meetup.

Damn it. If it was mid or southern New Jersey I’d be a lock. But I’m crazy, so maybe I’ll come.

It would be worth the drive but I doubt anyone would be able to tolerate my rage after I’ve had to hear my exhaust drone for 10 hours...

“Do you like leaving the trunk of your Cadillac open when there’s a group shot being taken?”

Do I? Heck I’ll open every door I have on my Subillac Legacy DeVille

“Do you like meeting strangers from the internet, letting them cook food for you and being able to make it home safely?”

YES! I love meeting food AND eating strangers (or vise-versa!)

Do you like driving your car all over for no particularly good reason?

You give me a reason and I’ll usually be there, and on some occasions on time too!

“Do you live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York or Connecticut?”

That is over 8000mi away, so I think i’ll have to pass!

Excellent. If it helps any, I would have bought a wagon were it available.

When you do a Canuckistan Role Call, collect emails and organize one.

Organizing these meets is really hard, but I encourage you to try it. You meet fellow Oppos and its a great thing.

Is there a southern oppo meet? We could do redneck things like a hot tub in a truck bed and spit roast a pig we caught that morning or some stuff?
