I posted !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! not long ago, lamenting that I couldn't order the stickers I want to the frozen north, aka; America's Hat.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And then I shared that post on Facebook and Twitter.
I love you, guys.
Two of my friends on Facebook said, "I've ordered them to my house, I'll ship them your way and don't you even think about trying to repay."
And Jeremy, those of you who know Oppo stickers know Jeremy, started emailing back and forth with me. Said he'd ship them direct to me, no extra cost. And Dusty said I should have them delivered to him, he'd pass them along my way.
Long story short, I asked and I received.
God may help those who help themselves, but Oppo just helps Opponauts in need.
I love you, guys (and gals). I freaking love you.

I never really cared for other auto forums but the level of support and community here is why I call Oppo my internet home.

I think it's because we're the evolution of Off Topic. There's so little elitism here, so little flame warring, and our worst trolls are our best members being silly. It's because we're all so different and we're coming together because we love car. Not a car, not some cars, but car.
You may be a Honda kid, I may be a Mustang guy but at our core all either of us really are is Opponauts. They say that in space, no one can hear you scream. On Oppo, we hear your screams and offer help and support.
That's pretty rare on the internet these days.

I seriously doubt there's a more honest community in this world wide web than Oppo. Much awesome, such people.

I didn't take it that way, lol. I mean I like some Hondas...and some folks think I'm an Audi-head which is not totally true but I don't mind because really I love all cool cars. I have a bit of an obsession with wagons, but this place has helped me appreciate all kinds of cool rides. :)

I have a bit of an obsession with Mustangs, but I love pretty much everything in one way or another. And wagons, because there's hardly an Opponaut who isn't pro-waggin.
The one thing, in terms of cars, that I've never owned is; German. Sadface.

Yeah German is on my list of my next car to own. But I would like to check a muscle car off the list as well...but they don't baby to great so that will have to wait.

Oh my god. Oh my god.
I need to get this article finished because you. You, yes you.
We have a one month old (our first) and own an S197 Mustang and let me tell you that it babies just fine. Okay, so the muscle car thing is debatable but the core idea here is that even a 2+2 can baby if done right, by the right kind of folk.
Need to finish that.

I also have a wife who is a wheelchair user so i need a car that can accomodate that in a pinch and we will probably have another kid within two years. So two door V8 coupes are out...for now. :)

You should totally check out FantomWorks program for Wounded Warriors. It's a charity they run and they're developing wheel-chair friendly conversions for muscle cars. I can't remember the episode, but they did one with (I think) a Nova (?) which so inspired me that I prayed for an opportunity to donate, some how, some way.
Really noble.
And if I win the lotto, Automatch my friend, I'm buying your family one. Or, you know, if I suddenly discover that I had a secret rich relative who died.

There once was an Oppo called Auto
Who had the kindest heart
We prayed to win the Lotto
To get him a V8 to start.
