My First "Pobst" Hello everyone

"Punk_Girl_98" (isabellamunos)
09/28/2015 at 15:06 • Filed to: intro

This is my first official post. I’ve met some of you around here already so, hello again.

I read Jalopnik all the time and just recently found OPPO. It seems to be a very friendly place. Everyone gets along through a common interest.

A little about me. I am 16 years old from San Antonio, TX. I don’t have a car yet. Most cars seem big since i’m only 5’1” lol. My favorite color is pink (see avatar) and I like typical girl things. Though, I really like cars as well. And softball.

My dad runs a shop that installs accessories on trucks. He got me into cars since I was little, taking me to car shows and gatherings. We’re into muscle cars mostly but i’m branching off to modern things from all brands. My favorite car hands down is the Viper!

Personally, school and softball practice is what i’m doing. I do some secretary work with my mom for my dad’s shop. I’m scheduled to have my braces hopefully next month (which are also pink lol). I miss chowing down on some good fajitas.

If anyone has any questions, let me know.

DISCUSSION (100)

I was braced for you to say you were Randy Pobst..... Now I’m disappointed since he’s my favorite vegan racer

Somehow this is first time I’ve ever seen an American say Fajitas. For some reason I thought they were mutually exclusive with Tacos.

Welcome! You’ve already developed a good taste in cars, it appears.

Hello and welcome! I’ve already seen you around a bunch, but it’s cool to see you finally posting stuff rather than just commenting!

Also, pink is the best color ever so you’re quite alright in my book.

Vegan racer would make a good band name

Sam > Punk_Girl_98

Aw man, we’re both getting rid of the braces at nearly the same time. Difference is, I’m already nearly 20 and a sophomore in college.

But I digress.

Well, not anymore, I lived in TX my whole life and recently moved to Florida.

Thing I miss the most is the food. Some fajitas sound amazing right now!

If you’d like to feel big, the Miata would, once again, appear to be the answer.

09/28/2015 at 15:30

Honestly after googling that I still don’t know if that is Spanish or not. Although Google image search suggests it translates to very tasty.

Res means beef. Fajitas could also be chicken so I had to specify what kind.

Welcome, we need more women around these parts. I’m not too into basketball any more, but Tim Duncan is the man, so go Spurs. Turns out, he owns a shop in San Antonio and is a car guy.

09/28/2015 at 15:44

Cool! Yeah I think they are cool but I don’t think I could own one lol. I’ve heard about Uly, he’s very friendly and provides the cookies lol. My dad used to have a 883 or 882 Harley. It was the dark version or night version.

Howdy, welcome to Oppo! My first car was pink :) don’t worry too much about the height thing BTW, I’m 5’3” and basically all it means is that I never have to worry about not having enough room for a helmet on track days, I can immediately tell when my boyfriend has been driving my car, and I definitely need to test ride/drive any motorcycles or manual cars before buying. My younger sister is all of 5’0 and about to buy her first motorcycle, so there’s hope!

Punk_Girl_98 > Anon

Welcome, welcome. You know, there is a car out there that makes almost anybody feel big, and it looks damn good in pink. No, not the Mini, the Nash Metropolitan!

Kinja'd!!!

It’s 12’ long, 5’ wide, and if you steal the engine from an MGB, it’s a bolt-up! You know, just in case you hate being alive and not screaming.

Wow you do track days? Way too cool. I like motorcycles but would be too afraid to ride one. Yay short people though!

welcome, although you were already kind enough to comment on my Viper. Great choice for a favorite car. When I was 11 or 12 it was my favorite car, fast forward 15 years and it’s sitting in my garage (should check out a post I made about getting it).

I am from Katy, TX originally but in Alabama now. I miss HEB so much. Go get some hot and fresh tortillas for me!
