Hey Oppo!!! It’s been awhile. I lost my burner key and have been busy with school (graduating in May can’t wait) and life. Hope everyone is doing well. No new additions or changes to our fleet lately.

Hey, acquaintance!
Hope your lack of teriyaki isn’t killing you.
I bought another car. It’s what I do.

That is the other reason I haven’t been posting, life without teriyaki is barely worth living and I have been busy crying.
Yes, I saw that I have been lurking occasionally. Congrats, it’s about time you buy something that isn’t going to kill you or burst into flames.

Hey buddy!!!
It is awesome, I swapped out the master cylinder for a next generation one and it is great to drive.
Weren’t you doing shenanigans with a Geo Metro? How did that go?

Really can’t complain, just ready to be out of Southern Illinois and back in the real world.
How are you and the family?

*Replaces your spilled drink* Hiya!!!
Since your last update, I’ve gotten a third smart.
And today I did this:
Finished my long term endurance testing on if a smart makes a good tow vehicle.
Hope all is well with you!

Good upgrade! The brakes are their real Achilles heal.
That’s me. Many shenanigans have been had. I’ve done a couple of rallycross events, and ran the Gambler 500-Illinois a few weeks ago. That was an insane amount of fun! I even used the old RallyMetro as a recovery vehicle. Currently I’m trying to get the front wheel bearings replaced, so I can beat on it some more. They’re fighting me big time. I’ve got three more weeks until the final rallycross of the year.
You can read it all in detail is you search Oppo for the tag RallyMetro (all one word).

Ummmmm.... Ya, I think you are going to need a Smart intervention.
What are you doing with them?
How did you not die pulling a uhaul trailer with a Smart car?
All is going pretty good just ready to be done with school and out of Southern Illinois. Mrs. Blackcar is definitely over getting asked “Where are you from?” by hillbillies where in Confederate flag clothing and/or Trump hats.

Ya, the master cylinder upgrade was way better than I remembered, I did it to our Tahoe we had years ago. Mrs. Blackcar barely drove the truck before and now she steals it all the time. It was hundred percent worth it just to share the truck with her.w
I will definitely check out the RallyMetro tag. Sounds like you are having a blast.

I’ll have to keep that upgrade in mind if I buy a GMT-400. Is it just a stock GMT-800 master?
I definitely am. That little bastard is way more fun to drive be than anything that slow has any right to be. :)

Pretty much, GMT-800 master cylinder and 1 adapter. Took me all of 2 hours including bleeding the brakes.
