If you’re looking for something to do, there’s a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! event (like Cars and Coffee, but with beer) in Berkeley. I’ve never been to one of these, but it does include two of my favorite things in the universe.

Here’s the flyer:

I’ll be giving the C5 a quick wash & wax and taking it out there. Would be awesome to meet a few other Oppos, and the weather is looking like it will be perfect. Heck, if you aren’t a murdering murderer, I might even buy you a beer...

I’ll almost certainly stop by for a beer sometime after 1:00. This is what I will be driving.

As I see you’re a Corvette owner, we have things to talk about as I own and race an older one — 1992 C4. Happy to buy you a beer and shoot the shit.

Magnificent! Looking forward to it.

Gorgeous M5, by the way. And I’d definitely love to chat about your C4. I’m gradually looking to ease my way back into some seat time. It’s probably been at least 6 or 7 years since I’ve driven on any sort of track.

I’ve been on the track just about every other weekend so far this year so I’m pretty well acquainted with the local tracks and groups that host track days and whatnot, so by all means pick my brain. You’ve got the right car for the job for sure. If I had it to do over I would have spent a little more on a C5 versus the C4. It’s so much more car for the money.

Nice meeting you today! I’m totally digging your car. Shoot me an email and I’ll give you links to the racing clubs I mentioned. Northern California Racing Club is the one I’d suggest. I run with them all the time. I’d be happy to help get you set up for a track day or if you want to see how a C4 handles the track I’ve got an extra helmet and a lot of track days coming up. Next is at Thunderhill in two weeks. Cheers, Thomas (oppo@noops.org)

Hey man, great chatting with you. I ended up getting boxed in until about 2:45pm. It was all good though, had a fun time.

I’ll definitely be hitting you up to get in with the track-running folks here in NorCal. Thanks!
