02/13/2018 at 17:18 • Filed to: None

If you could have one each of the following categories of people join and be an interesting/committed Oppo member, who would you pick?

1: Any Gizmodo Media Writer

2. Any celebrity

3. Any politician

4. Any auto industry bigwig.

I don’t know what celebrity or politician I’d choose, but Drew Magary would be fun for GMG writers and Raj Nair from Ford as the bigwig since I’m a big fan of his.

ELON

I dunno, real Sergio seems like kind of a prick in stuff I’ve watched of him. I can’t believe that I didn’t think of Elon.

We already have enough “TFW no GF” posts on Oppo without Elon.

Those are good choices! Bricklin counts. I can’t believe he’s still alive

QE2! That would be good car content. She’s done a lot in her life.

Yours is my favorite so far.

1. David cause he and I seem to get along really well for some reason, or Stef cause she actually does contribute here...which is rad. Nuts to those other guys that are too cool for school. Tom was great around here too, he’s missed.

2. Sir Patrick Stewart. oh man there would be stories.

3. ? probably Scott Priutt for the giggles.

4. Csaba Csere, cause I like the cut of his jib.

CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever > HammerheadFistpunch
02/13/2018 at 17:42

Yeah, David’s cool! That’d be alright. Good choices! I bet you Priutt drives a Hellcat.

David has been rad, we chat offline from time to time. Hoping to see him down in Moab this spring if his projects and my time collide.

Foreign or domestic, they’re still politicians and I can’t think of very many I’d want to interact with on this here forum. But fine: George Weah .

For Sweden > HammerheadFistpunch
02/13/2018 at 18:17

He’s making #content for General Motors.

For all we know, he’s making the Chevrolet Real People Not Actors commercials.

That was my last experience with Roy. I was a “real person” for car and driver and Jeep.

Turn it around, what oppo peeps would you like seeing in those possitions

I’d certainly want Ash writting in Jalopnik or The Concourse

RacinBob > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever
02/13/2018 at 19:18

Oppo is about people and cars. It’s where car geeks hang out.

I don’t know how celebrities, politicians, or automotive bigwigs would improve the dialog. Actually I think they would be too filtered to really help.

TheRevanchist > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever
02/13/2018 at 19:28

1. Drew Magary, as he’d totally shit post, then post a story about shit.

2. Sir Mix-Alot

3. The Ghost of JFK

4. Stephen Wynne

The question was who you would choose for Oppo membership, not F**k Marry Kill.

02/13/2018 at 19:37

Ooh! Good choices!

RPM esq. > Spanfeller is a twat
02/13/2018 at 19:50

1. AestheticsInMotion (regular column about daily driving a Miata in Alaska)

2. Zoidberg (host of HGTV’s show about light fixtures and awful discoveries in new construction, “ Chandeliers and Shit (Literally) ”)

3. Me , (as benign dictator of, like, a single island in the San Juans, so I can turn it into the Isle of Man with better seafood)

4. HammerheadFistpunch (would result in more old-school off-road-capable SUVs in the world, I assume)

I could see you as a benevolent dictator. Make, it happen, I’m apparently going to need a warm spot to vacation at.

I actually got lost on a mountain in... Sitka? Ketchikan? I forgot. It was on foot though. 10/10 would do it again with my Miata

AestheticsInMotion > For Sweden
02/13/2018 at 20:15

Would you rather write it, or read it?

Spanfeller is a twat > For Sweden
02/13/2018 at 20:18

I really like the stuff at The Concourse, I can’t say anything about the rest of Deadspin, I don’t care about sports, but I like their opinion pieces, specially Nolan’s.

Perhaps The Onion is more appropriate for Ash’s great writting skills.

If its dead make it your own.

I’d like Ash doing the morning shift (alike his gig here in the morning shit!)

I’d have Jake as the new mechanic/presenter of Wheeler dealers

I’d have O. C. as the politician (a debate with MK would be so fun!)

I’d have Mergio of course.

1. Ash for The Onion

2. Me, as a rock star, so I could have a realistic chance of owning the approximately 70 cars I want as well as [redacted]

3. OC would make a fine diplomat

4. I’ll have to think about this one

1. I second the nomination of Fancy Kristen

2. Dax Shepard, because he’d fit in with his gearhead tendencies and sweet project cars in his garage.

3. John McCain’s wife Cindy McCain, because drifting content.

4. Dave Coleman, who is not an auto industry bigwig, but he works for Mazda as a vehicle development engineer, so work with me, here. Anyone who is familiar with his work in Sport Compact Car or MotoIQ.com knows what I’m on about. Let’s bring in Mike Kojima, too (Dave’s SCC/MotoIQ rival and a former Nissan suspension engineer turned race engineer.

2. Kenny from the Block. LET’S JUMP STUFF.

3. Does Ted Cruz’s college roommate count? That guy .

4. It’d be fun to hear Andreas Preuninger contradict himself repeatedly on Oppo. Sure. Why not. Every thread would probably just devolve into GIVE US A MANUAL GT3 RS from me, and then I’d get banned from Oppo. Oops. Maybe not, then. Here for the Lapo Elkann crapstorm, then!
