Random realization that I’ve been Oppo for a *long* time

And so has my garage. 2014 FiST and a 2018 Regal TourX. All turbo. All hatchback. One a goddamn AWD station wagon. I guess life has been pretty damned good.

Also, a random hello from the guy who published the rules of Oppo *way* back in the day and is, likely, one of the admins still. ‘Sup. =)

Thanks! I tend to think of it at as an Opel Insignia Touring... but I like the cut of your jib.

I don’t know... someone with 700+ Oppo posts(!) is pretty damn worthy. =)

Last night an old RCR piece popped up in my youtube feed and it struck me that it was timestamped six goddamn years ago, and it wasn’t even one if his early vids. Goddamn time is passing too fast

You should stop by more often!

No Vauxhall Country Tourer love here!?

Nice grouping of cars, shame both discontinued for North America.

Always nice to see another Fiesta ST owner. Our numbers here are dwindling

Is this mural in Canadialand? Must have been painted by an Arizonan.

Hey it’s that rules guy! You should hang out here more frequently!

Ha... yep that would be me. Going to make an attempt to do so.

Very cool. My oldest daughter’s middle name is Chetan, which is Lakota for “hawk”. Our neighborhood red tailed hawk kept hanging around our house the week she was born, hence the name.

There are lots of great murals up on the Navajo Nation as well.

We never even got it in Canada!

No need to be sad. You bought them and live with them while others said, ‘why don’t we get....’ Or ‘if they sold it here I’d buy it’ and didn’t.

Your individual.

That I can't understand.

Yeah, Mercedes seemed to recognize the wagon love here, but not GM.

Ye’, that’s GM and Ford through and through.

No Vauxhall (Buick Regal) Insignia saloon, Sports Tourer and Country Tourer (for Canada, just no Sports Tourer for America), no Adam to take on the Fiat 500, or Corsa to take on the Fiesta.

Ford responded to GM’s no Corsa to take on the Fiesta, by stopping selling the Fiesta in North America. No Focus Estate or Mondeo (Fusion) estate for North America.

True, but if anything happens to either... the number of options in the US? I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that if I ever need to replace the FiST it will probably be a bigger, heavier, less dialed in hot hatch or something way more expensive.

And of course every actual competitor for the TourX is German (which makes sense, seeing as how the TourX is actually a German penned Opel).

Parts should still be plentiful from Europe, just a longer lead time.
