Great movie, honestly. It was great to visually see the obstacles he had to overcome, and how he was so close to completely revolutionizing the auto industry in the late ‘50s with the Tucker Torpedo, and how it all came crashing down.

Anyway, how’s ever yone been, Oppo? It’s been a while. Please feel free to give some life updates.

I didn’t love the movie, but it was cool to see a car story told in film. I hope Ford vs Ferrari is good, Senna is another great example.

I’m finally bailing out of my job of 7 years and starting something new. Just for a month, I’ve got a 2 month holiday in Europe starting mid July. Kind of them to take me on given that.

Things are pretty aight ;)

Still looking for a permanent teaching position....my Accent’s still going strong other than going in for a little bodywork in the next few weeks....otherwise, same old same old!

Glad you’re well!

Here’s wishing you the best for that job, man! I almost forgot about the A ccent you bought. A little body work you say? What caused that? ... if you don’t mind me asking. Glad you are well, as well!

It was a labor of love on Francis Ford Coppola’s part. Not historically accurate by any stretch, but he was able to turn a pretty normal startup failure (undercapitalized new company with inexperienced and overly perfectionist leadership) into an entertaining watch.

Somehow, I don’t think the inevitable Elio: The Man and His Dream will be quite as enjoyable when it hits theaters in the 203os or 2040s.

I’ve got this on my Watch Later list, but haven’t tried watching it yet.  Soon...

I’d had a minor fender bender back in 2015 with it when I hit some ice in the winter, had a local body shop repair it and they did a good job. Also had the same body shop repaint my rear hatch around the license plate after a local garage ruined the paint with a grinder/cutting wheel trying to cut off some rusted bolts to swap the rear license plate.

Long story short, the paint job the body shop didn’t hold up on the rear-right quarter where they repainted it, nor on the hatch and both areas are now rusting...the body shop (Carstar) has a 5 year warranty, but of course they are refusing to repair it claiming it’s just normal rust for a car of 155,000kms, despite the fact that the untouched factory original rear quarter on the other side is perfectly rust free (I get undercoatings every year, although not the ‘wand with the spray oil stuff into the panels’ kind of undercoatings). REALLY pissed about that one, but what can I do? I even contacted head office for them and they were like ‘it’s up to the shop’ as apparently with their chain, the shop’s can choose if they want to carry the 5-year warranty or not....how stupid is that...

Long story short, the rust on the right rear quarter is going to need to have some metal cut out and welded in and I have no idea if they can even repair the rust on the trunk (which is only surface rust, but in a very hard to reach place)...

Nice! Yeah, man, if you like the 50's and cars, you will like this movie.

Ah, man, that sucks. I’m surprised a body shop even offers a warranty at all, honestly. I, myself, work at a body shop in Rhode Island (part time until summer work), and I know my bosses would probably paint those panels again. That’s kinda lame. What year is it? Sometimes that’s a big factor in deciding if they want to work on it or not. Anyhow, I wish you the best, man!

It’s a 2009 3-door hatch. Thanks for the well-wishes! :)

Saw it in the theater, thought it was great.   First I ever heard of the Tucker.

I had no idea Christian Slater was in it.

I can't say I know my classic cars very well, but maybe this will help me learn a thing or two.

Hopefully! Won't be cheap though...bodywork is hella expensive here...

Racin'Jason002 > RallyDarkstrike - Fan of 2-cyl FIATs, Eastern Bloc & Kei cars 06/11/2019 at 10:53

Yeah, bodywork is never cheap. How much are you looking at in them Canadian $$?

$600 for the rust on the side, excluding the rust on the hatch as I originally didn't plan on bothering to get that done.

Oof, yeah. That’s a chunk of change.

Monkee said I should go to you to ask to be in Oppositewonk slack? Though he linked me to your old account and post so I figured I'd go to your new account and ask. My email is thatonedude7734@gmail.com, could you shoot me an invite? Appreciate it.

I would if I could, man. It seems that I have been un-moded from slack, and the ability to invite new people has been taken away. Wonk has taken a turn for the worst. Scoob un-moded me, then he made The Honda Bro a mod, and they started banning people and censoring stuff. About a month ago, about half of Wonk decided that slack was no good anymore and left it for good. At first, I was reluctant, but it seems that most of the remaining members are a bunch of pricks. It sucks. We had a good thing going. This all happened within the last few months. I would love to have welcome you in, but it seems I can relate to you a bit more with all the hate I’ve received for no good reason . Thanks for your interest, though!

Pardon me what the fuck....sounds insane. Though I’m not much surprised, it would seem the memers from there who occasionally shitpost here are the ones who always love to give me a hard time. I don’t wanna make any enemies though, so I’m just gonna remain neutral and leave everything in the past and so far it’s working, I am on casual speaking terms with a few of them and haven’t really seen any hate in the past month or so so I guess I’m doing a bit better as far as that, though some people still ignore and/or dismiss my comments or replies to them for literally no reason at all other than to fuck with me but I don’t care anymore, it’s whatever. Sucks that Wonk is like that too but I’ll talk to Monkee because he’s the one who referred me to join it not too long ago. I’ll see what’s up. Also, weird question but did they ever talk about me because I know there were a lot of rumors around my name before so I wouldn’t be too surprised if they were.

Oh, yes. I can’t tell you how many tangents came up when you had recently posted something. It was bad, toxic, and you know I just didn’t want to be a part of it. Ever since the censorship on Wonk began, though, I haven’t seen or heard a peep about you, so, it was relatively short lived. Wonk would often get too dramatic in my opinion. I’m sure Scoob or The Honda Bro could let you in if you really wanted to. They’re the main moderators.

That sucks. But you say Scoob and THB would stop people from doing that? I do appreciate that, if true. And who would say shit about me? I would like to distance myself from those people because I truly despise when people speak of me behind my back.

Yeah, I can’t recall anyone in particular, it was pretty generalized. Yeah, THB shut down the channel that would do that. It was the only good to come out slack in recent times.

Honestly the impression I got of T HB was the opposite of that, this is a pleasant surprise. I owe him one for that. But I have a good idea of who might be the ones who would talk about me like that. Whatever though, I’m not gonna waste my time on people who wanna be a dick for no good reason. Again, props to THB though. I really do appreciate that there are people who at least somewhat have my back.

Absolutely! We should all be friends, here. We should all treat each other with respe ct. Now we can do so a little bit easier. Sorry I couldn’t hook you up. Cheers!
