Way back in 2015, I wrote !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! article. I was 14.

I’m 18 now. I’m pretty impressed my 14 year old self wrote that article. 80s M cars really have gone up in value astronomically, and you can now find tons of articles from the past two or so years discussing this increase in value.

My dad still has his 1987 M6, and it’s in pretty much the same condition cosmetically. Quite frankly, it needs a lot of help.

Mechanically though, it’s sound. We’ve entirely redone the cooling system, fuel system, and brakes. I hope to drive it sometime in the next month.

That’s all. Happy Tuesday.

Edit: Also... Jalopnik !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!  in 2015. I was, again, 14. Highlight of my childhood.

I considered getting an E30 M3 when I got my E90 back in 2014, but since I had planned on dailying it, that was a no go. Also thought about a 1M, because I knew that it wasn’t going to depreciate like the E90. Also, the valuation increase in old M cars is right around the time BMW went to autos and forced induction.

Damn, reminds me of the age gap on this site between everyone. You’re like 50 something and I’m sure the youngest person here on Oppo is AC2 (he’s 14). Leaves me wondering who’s the oldest  lol

There are definitely some older. Likely one or two in their 60s.  .

Leave it to Ttyymmnn to make me feel young.

I was 14 in 1983.

How does one find Oppositelock in 2015 at age 14?

I found Oppo back in 2010-ish after hearing it discussed on the front page a bunch.   I think we were still tagging posts with #oppositelock back then, too.

Remember back in the way back when, when it was hard to discover things online? Now the challenge is to prevent things you dont want from discovering you.
