So why don't we relax and enjoy this site for what it is: appreciation of driving pleasure and automotive nirvana. Maybe your transmission ecstasy isn't derived from riding a heavy clutch in rush hour traffic, but I'll be damned if I ever find anything more enjoyable than wringing out a nice, agile car and rowing my own down a nice, rural road. Too many small sites have become too serious, and I'd hate to see a lighthearted, tight community lose its virtues over small differences of opinion or personality. Let's keep Oppo oppo — hail to the manual, wagon, diesel and Miata.

Heel-toe downshifts will soon be a lost art.

Hehe, True.
I actually enjoy how "Close" Oppo seems. I'd say that I've heard of at least 70% of the authors.
Dicks, will be dicks. But there aren't many of them here.

Booooo screw manual wagons and the miata. PDK and Camrys!

And the gated shifter. ^

Yep. When are they going to offer the hellaflush DCT electric Supercamry SUV filled with technology on the inside? I heard it's going to have auto asshat parking as a standard feature.

It's still a pretty small site, and you really get to know people. That's what's great about this community. I'd hate to see the dynamic here change much more, hence this post.

Proof that Ferrari buyers have taken that gear shifter to the head a few too many times!

Yeah, It is still a fairly small site. Most people are nice, and relaxed.

#1 rule of oppo : DON'T BE A DICK! SERIOUSLY DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! NOT EVEN ONCE!

Haha, and people are normally pretty good about it.
Sadly, I've come across a couple. But the overwhelming majority are good people.

We try to humiliate the dicks so they calm the fuck down. That strategy seems to be working pretty good for the most part.

Good strategy.
I came across a VERY butthurt Corolla fanboy on one post.
He told me that "Jalopnik is for Auto enthusiasts unlike yourself."
All I said is that my personal preference would be not a Corolla.
