HEAR THEE HEAR THEE, UNWASHED MASSES AND PEOPLE THAT USE THE V6 MUSTANG AS A STANDARD OF MONETARY MEASUREMENT:

Do you read Oppositelock? Do you think we’re all hacks and you could do better, if only they would publish my unhinged ramblings about Yugo’s missed opportunities in the US after the second Bush administration ? Well wonder no-more! If you can fog a mirror, have appendages for typing, or need an outlet for all that pent-up automotive minutiae you’ve amassed over the years, comment on this post for authorship privileges. One of the Kinja Stasi friendly neighborhood Mods will review your commenting history and, provided you aren’t a lizard person or general terrible human being, grant you authorship.

balls-to-the-wall action!

We have rules. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Hold them close and whisper sweet nothings to them.

Here is a photo of my recent automotive project for your time. They are 15” from rotors off the #57 Stevenson Camaro. I found them next to a garbage can in the garage at Laguna Seca back in 2018.

Hooker’s still OK? Seriously though, after all these years (lurking and writing) I still find this to be one of the best places on the internet! Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Also, more Crown Firetruck things coming soon! :)

Please grant me authorship... I used to be able to post, but my user got kinja’d and I couldn’t any longer... I do miss it so.

Roadkilled > Party-vi
06/25/2020 at 15:31

I could add new posts, but I don’t think you need another person from Seattle here. I’ll probably miss somebody, but I’ve seen plenty from Fintail, NKato, Dr. Zoidberg and AestheticsInMotion.

Besides, I’m too boring of a car guy. I drove Saturns half my life, I don’t take a Miata up a forest service road in the middle of winter and I don’t have a collection of photos of ugly chandeliers to share.

(At lest the Saturns had three pedals, so hopefully you won’t make me turn in my membership card for driving them.)

I would love write for oppo. Check out my comments history/blog....

I am quite opinionated, one of those opinions is not to bring race, politics, or sexism into the brotherhood of oppo. And, OK, I promise not to be a dick.

I am human. A human with 4 human children . Found this place after a post on the fp a long time ago. Forgot about it then rediscovered a few months back. My friends, coworkers and family think I’m a car “nerd”. I love the unloved the most. Not that I have bad taste but 2 door evoques (sp ?) a nd woodgrain is cool. Also cool would be a slammed suburban or expedition on white walls with woodgrain. Oh, and I understand trucks.

I really dig the lack of hate here. Its okay to be different. Also really appreciate that what commonality binds this place together isn’t it’s only conversation. It seems like a happy gathering spot and is unique.

So in summary, I nominate me!

Party-vi > WildlyMild

It can be written “ye” (which is probably correct) , but the “y” is actually the old English letter thorn ( þ ) , which makes a “th” sound, so really you should be saying “hear thee”.

Found this website when someone had the same rare ‘86 4WD Civic Wagon as me. I’ve b een lurking since with a comment here and there , but since I got a house and bigger garage, I’ve been thinking about posting my automotive ramblings, card nerdom opinions, and maybe a helpful thing every once in a while. So that being said, authorship pretty please?

Hi, would love to contribute some actual automotive comment. Before you ask, I am not a Lizard Person (and I’ve actively stated that his/hers/they/its? behavior doesn’t fly around here). In full disclosure, I’ve apparently been lumped into the shadowban/grays like many fellow Oppo members due to a spirited conversation on recent “divisive” articles on Jalopnik . Feel free to review my comment history; would absolutely love to post some quality content (I’m a diehard Land Rover enthusiast and track junkie - I know, strange combo).

icrashbikes > Party-vi
07/15/2020 at 12:02

I was invited to come check this place out by a fellow commenter over at Jalopnik. Can I say that here? Anyway, I enjoy writing long, painfully explicit and deeply detailed posts on the forums I frequent with projects and whatnot. I’d love the opportunity to do the same in a broader spectrum environment for people who might appreciate it. For instance, I was going to make this comment yesterday but I got caught up in the 16 fault codes that my wife’s mk7 GTI spat out at me after brandishing the “ EPC” light which I had never heard of before. That turned into a bunch of reading and clearing codes, and googling and test driving and looking (praying) for a loose connector near the turbo. It was a wild ride. But here I am, better late than never.

Fellow glutton! I’m on the facebook group, and I have 3 broken Honda bikes, along with probably another bike or two worth of parts, a 1990 325i that is super clean and has lots of upgraded goodies but is completely torn down, and a 99 F250 7.3 that actually works, but looks uglier than all of my other ones.
