Not a final goodbye, but a goodbye none the less.

I don’t normally do these types of things but Oppo has been such a central part of my life that I need to at least put something out there.

I’ve been coming to Oppo and Jalopnik for 9 or 10 years at this point, out of all the forums and websites I would frequent and read I always ended up coming back here. Reason is because variety is if the spice of life, then Oppo is the spice market of the automotive internet world. No other place has the level of shit postingly historical and informative posts. I can read a meme about a mustang trying to eat pedestrians and then immediately following it is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I mean where else can you get that? Nowhere, that’s where.

I know the vast majority of my posts have landed on the shitpost side but I’ve never been one for words (great listener but terrible conversationalist) so most times I find it hard to express myself eloquently. That wasn’t what kept me coming back, what kept me coming back was all of you. Reading and interacting with fellow Opponaughts on posts is what I enjoyed the most out of Oppo. I know we will land somewhere eventually but I just wish that we didn’t have to. Anywho, thanks for baring with me on that. You are all awesome and remember best rules to live by:
1.) Don’t be a dick

2.) Seriously don’t be a dick.

Yeah I’ve signed up, also signed up for DriveTribe too. I guess we’ll see what the future holds for us. Wish we didn’t have to though, I hate change.

I generally do too, but diving in to help everybody out and get everybody used to the transition has made me get used to it in a hurry...that being said, it’s pretty well sorted for as new as it is, and I’ve come to quite like it already!
