So guys, I get pulled over this morning on my way to work. I’m doing about 102 in a 65 zone, while weaving through traffic, and generally driving as one who owns a BMW does. As soon as I saw the trooper, I see that he is beginning to put the cruiser in drive... SHIT!!! So I pull over and get my info ready. He comes up and gives the usual “Do you know how fast you were going?” I told him I was too important to notice peasant things like speed limits, so I’m not sorry. He asked me a weird question...

Cop: “What’s with the oppo sticker”

Me: “What?”

Cop: “Are you E90M3, you know, the one who does the unnecessary car shopping?”

Me: “Ummmm.... Yes. Are you an opponuat?”

Cop: “Oh ya. It’s my homepage in the cruiser.”

I couldn’t believe it. I’m not going to let his handle go in case he wouldn’t want me to, but he let me go. Oppos are awesome. I love this place and it just goes to show that even a small chat area on a random website can create the feeling of community. We talked for like an hour. I wasn’t late to work just because I was able to max the BMW the rest of the way to work. Anyway, thought you guys would think it’s funny.

It’s real. Everything you read on the internet is true. Putin told me that one.

I just had an idea. We should hire people to put together an Oppositelock-themed certified defensive-driving online course for opponaughts who need to get out of a ticket or just want an insurance break. If Texas can have a comedy-themed one , we should be able to have one based on Oppo memes.

We ought to make stickers with our handles below Oppo sticker.

How in the world would he have guessed your handle on first try?

I mean, I saved 40% on my car insurance by switching to South Carolina, but I’m always down for more savings.

Now that you have been # exposed, are you going to go to Google Plus or something?

First you’re cooking chicken parm, now you’re avoiding speeding tickets thanks to Oppo - have you gone through the looking glass?

My story would be:

“Aren’t you that jerk on Oppo who is a jerky-jerkface?”

Me: “Um.. no?”

*officer on radio* “I’m going to need backup, and a body cavity search kit.”

I concur. He did tell you that. I saw you guys talking just outside the Kremlin. From my patio in Texas.

In that short, memorable sprint across the southwest, the Road and Track readers had been flamed, all mortal cars on freq were forced to bow before the King of Speed, and more importantly, Walter and I had crossed the threshold of being a crew.

See, if you were in Alaska, I would believe that you can see Russia from your house.

Depending on where you moved from, you probably reduced your expected lifespan a couple years in exchange for that discount.

Link to the Oppo G+ group?

So what you’re saying is that having oppo authorship puts us above traffic laws?
