OPPOFleet, Late 2019 - The Results

12/03/2019 at 13:20 • Filed to: None

Thanks to everyone who participated! Very cool to see all of your cars listed out as I was working through all of the data . The displays shown here are limited to OPPO’s four-wheeled conveyances only (plus one Morgan). There are 735 cars in total included here (more of which are RX-7s than Camrys), representing 330 individual Oppos. Hope you find this all as interesting as I have! If your cars weren’t included in this round, just add them to the spreadsheet !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - I plan to keep this available so that anyone can check out the OPPO fleet at any time, update their cars as they come and go, and maybe we’ll do a big all-OPPO update once a year.

Most Popular Cars on OPPO (as of 12/3/19)
- 21 Miatas
- 19 F-series pickups (4 owned by Pickup man alone! - LOL)
- 18 3-series BMWs (25 including M3s)
- 18 Civics
- 17 GTIs
- 13 4Runners
- 14 Mustangs
- 13 WRX/STIs
- 12 Outbacks

Almost as much color as not-color!

Well done, fellow Opponauts! Let’s try to keep it in the majority here going forward, as unlikely as that might be...

Thanks to Regulus, Lokiparts and Future Heap Owner for their help while I was working on all this.

Whoa!

I’m surprised to see Oppos have cars from 30s and 40s!

Looks like we found were all the Manual transmission owners live on the interwebs.

Just added my cars.

I’m never selling mine! And if anything happens to her, I would likely get a 1st gen JCW

12/03/2019 at 14:13

Not sure if I should be counted since I read and comment on a lot of posts here but I haven’t actually been added yet, so can’t post anything. Still, I like that there’s a fairly diverse mix of cars here. This is one of the few good places on the internet, for sure.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > DutchieDC2R
12/03/2019 at 14:13

Haha - that’s a ‘69 Beetle marked “project”.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller
12/03/2019 at 14:15

You should definitely be counted! Hope they hook you up with authorship, soon. If you requested, and didn’t get a response, you might try again - could’ve been lost in the shuffle.

Thanks! I’ll try again, but I’ve already asked twice, so I hope I won’t look too weird.

Darkbrador > DutchieDC2R

Well, it’s bare metal now for a reason, it was completely rusted when I acquired it. After replacing about a foot high of sheetmetal all around the car, I’ll be sure it’s properly primed & painted to avoid similar fate.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller

I sent this thread to another mod - he might see it and hook you up.

Wait so you’re telling me there are like 5 Alfa Spiders but I’m the only one with a C30? How odd. (of those that responded)

Jim Spanfeller > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
12/03/2019 at 14:31

Thanks! My brain is a sponge of automotive information that I find odd and/or interesting, but that few people I know personally care about, so I crave an outlet to release this information. I would love to be able to occasionally write about that stuff here.

Arch Duke says it’s “pending” - you may need to go through your notifications and accept the invite to become an author.

Yes! This is a great place to share all that (and not be looked at weird).

and the 4th car I got rid of last year was Manual Diesel wagon....sadly it was black not brown.

12/03/2019 at 14:41

YUSS! I am now an author. I must now create a post.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Akio Ohtori - RIP Oppo
12/03/2019 at 14:42

Yeah, pretty crazy, but honestly not that shocking, since the Alfa’s got classic status now, and the C30's still just an odd teenager.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller
12/03/2019 at 14:42

Yes you must!

Jim Spanfeller > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
12/03/2019 at 15:10

And I did! Though I don’t see it when I look at the rest of Oppositelock. Is that normal?

Tapas > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
12/03/2019 at 15:14

I didn’t realize that the cars from the ‘20s are literally 100 years old till just now.

That is even more insane.

For some reason, your post has a time stamp of this past Friday at 1:08.

Open the post, click on the 3 vertical dots near the top, and select Edit. Then change the date and time to just a couple minutes in the future. Should fix it.

Jim Spanfeller > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
12/03/2019 at 15:34

Well that’s odd. Thanks for the advice.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller
12/03/2019 at 15:37

Anytime.

I’ve noticed Kinja has a weird habit of setting the time of a post at the moment you start editing it, so if you had that tab open over the weekend, that could’ve done it! I’ve gotten in the habit of always adjusting the time on longer posts (that take me more than a few minutes to work on).

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller
12/03/2019 at 15:39

After you change the time, you’ll need to hit the Publish/Schedule button at the bottom, if that wasn’t clear.

Jim Spanfeller > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
12/03/2019 at 15:39

Hmm. It’s still not showing up. Would it be shameful if I posted an exact copy of the original so it shows up?

nerd_racing > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
12/03/2019 at 15:44

Woo Hoo only Autozam!

Jim Spanfeller > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
12/03/2019 at 15:50

Ah, screw it. I’ve changed the time and hit publish several times now, and it’s still not working. I’ll just post a copy of the original.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller
12/03/2019 at 15:51

Kinja time is EST. =) Looks like you’re Mountain? Change it one more time - but 2 hours in the future! Haha.

Funnily enough, I tried that too. Still not working.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller
12/03/2019 at 15:54

You can also “share” to OppositeLock (even if it was originally published there), if all else fails.

I see it on the main page ! Shows a 1:50 time stamp.

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > Jim Spanfeller
12/03/2019 at 16:00

For a second there, it was the top story (maybe after I tried to share it?), but now it’s back to 7th in the list. Weird. Kinja can be a cruel mistress.

Edit - back at the top! LOL

Pretty hard to believe. I’m guessing there are plenty of spouse vehicles that are GMCs, though.

Yep. Sold it before the warranty ran out. Got my money’s worth though. It was in for all kinds of things. Most notable the turbo cooling seals blew at 20K miles

Can’t believe the RX isn’t in the top 5 most popular cars! ( I’ll be shocked if there’s more than just me with an RX haha )

Yes... maybe. There’s a delay between pushing “post to Oppositelock” and it showing up. Alternatively, you may have posted it to your own (sub-) blog, in which case you need to reshare it to Oppo. Or Kinja is borked again. Welcome!

Thanks! Those things are unknown... by me. The owners didn’t offer the info when they responded to my original post, or didn’t enter it into the spreadsheet (I sometimes made an educated guess when I could, but I wasn’t going to try to chase every little detail down).

12/04/2019 at 09:20

That would make me sad, but it make me glad that the F-series count is so high on account of 2 F-100s, an F2, and an F3.

Pickup man owns 4: the F2, the F3, and 2 F-150s.
