I like to think I do ok. I make decent money, I have a solid reliable job, I work from home, my wife cares, and I’ve driven awesome cars and even owned a few. I own my own small home and am very fortunate to have wound up where I am, with no college degree, no formal training outside of basic computer science, and having been brought to the brink of financial ruin twice, and having a checkered past with family and friends.

But in Oppo we have so many brightly shining stars, people from all walks of life, we have Executives under 30 years old and salesmen who can easily clear 6 figures a year and people who can strip down an engine block to each individual component and put it back together, who manage to drive/work on ZR1s and Lambos of all brands and go house shopping in the most expensive suburban neighborhoods ever, who will finish college and go on to amazing things, getting pilots’ licenses and building robots and going on Lemons and rallys and loud crazy builds they put together with their own sweat and blood.

I just wanted to say, there’s always another goal, another challenge, another hurdle, but be proud of who you are and what you can do - nay - what you HAVE done. I know I’m impressed by all yall.

Here’s to you Oppo. Night night

Its not just the different jobs that make this community special. It's the different walks of life, cultures and political views (not so much anymore maybe) that make it special

I ate a full can of Pringles tonight, so I am not one of those shining stars.

Yeah this place is great and has got me through some bad times. No matter how bad things get I know I can at least I can come talk cars/planes/bikes/stereos/computers with some halfway decent people and live vicariously through their exploits.

What I like is that we also jump at the chance to help each other with our individual talents when needed. And not with ego, but with charity.

This toast would be more appropriate  if the whiskey I’m currently raising to you was a single malt not Woodford. But it’s the thought that counts.

Nobody here seems so obsessed with a particular make to hear the whole "your car sucks" thing, advice is actually helpful (usually), all in all pretty good.
