It has been over 2 years since our last game. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in another round of Behind the Burner?

What is Behind the Burner?

An Opponaught is given an anonymous throwaway Reddit account and they start a thread on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The other Opponaught’s head over to Reddit and ask car related questions in an effort to divine which Opponaught is answering your questions. This Opponaught will answer your questions truthfully. They can only respond to questions you post over in !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Anyone that wants to volunteer to be behind the burner should PM me on Reddit, where I am also CalzoneGolem. If you were a burner last time you are eligible to play again.

You can check out the previous game in the tag and in our subreddit. I had a blast hosting and looking forward to it again.

It was pretty good fun back in the day, as long you have people who can be burners, sure, go for it!

I’m getting some PMs on reddit. If I can generate a pool of users I’ll run it.

It was fun even if I’m illiterate. I’m a little worried about repetition though.

Well the last game was started in 2016 so I’m sure many people have updated their fleets and there are a bunch of new people on Oppo.

I’ll definitely play. Hopefully MontegoMan doesn’t steal all my answers again.

Sadly, he hasn’t been as active since the last game.

Maybe then I’ll get a win from all my really good lines of questioning.

Already did it. What I found was that I am very easy to identify, which is either a good thing (I’m unique and well-known) or a bad thing (I’m infamous for my nonsensical presence).

Jury’s still out on which one.

Maybe a little of column A and a little of Column B?

just can’t believe it’s been that long, either way, I’m not known enough to do it

I thought I was the last. I was wrong.

It’s time for the Oppos to end.

(Also fuck the haters, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was a good film. Awful plot work, but brilliant character and technical work see it through.)

We have a reddit? I knew the bar for getting one was low, but not that low.

All you need is desire and you can make your own subreddit.

The more the merrier. Any guesses on the number of 4runners this run?

The real question is whether they are rear wheel drive or not

I’ve had my years fun out of it but it was causing me issues with my knee due to the way I had to get in it (also had a coolant leak which I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from)

M135... I know a certain Car Guy who would be very jealous if you got one. Brilliant cars.

Would he be a twingo tamer by any chance?

Also it’s the coupes I’m looking at rather than the hatches
