If I ever cross the bridge to the bike world the TW is definitely on my shortlist of choices.

They’re waiting for you, Gordon. In the Test Chamberrrrr.

That’s just the nature of chopping a top. Unless the pillars are perfectly vertical, cutting out a section will mess up the alignment of the pillars. To correct that you have to either add a section to the roof to push the upper halves of the pillars out to meet the lower halves (the hard way) or cut a notch out of…

This is some next-level Jalop masochism. I like it.

I will never fully understand your Smart obsession, but goddammit do I respect you for it.

That’s what sealed the deal for me. That tiny line that just so happens to be exactly where the doors meet on the 4 door version.

Holy shit someone remembers me! I still drop comments here and there, though I haven’t posted anything on Oppo in a hot minute. Sometimes it feels like it’s been so long since I was posting stuff on the daily that no one remembers it in the first place.

We have our moments...

Yeah, a few others mentioned it before me and that’s what set me on the right path. I just took a closer look and wrote out every similarity for others to catch on to.

Definitely based on a 3rd generation Honda Accord (from a market that used the conventional headlights). The front and rear bumpers are identical, the headlights are the same shape, the grill and hood match, and the indent across the side of the car matches where the plastic trim would go on the Accord. The roughness…

He used to be the owner of Oppo, but I just checked again and it looks like Brian, The Life of is the owner now. Fred/porsche9146 is just a standard admin now.

My alternator shit the bed while I was driving a couple months back. I was maybe 3 miles from home and it required my girlfriend following me in her car and recharging my battery with jumper cables every mile or so. Didn’t make it nearly as far on a charge as I’d hoped.

This made me realize Raph and Torch are the only two writers left that have been here longer than me. Who are you people!?

Suddenly I want to be an astronaut again.

Hotshot Racing is another one that came out earlier this month. It’s basically a love letter to 90's arcade racers like Daytona USA and Ridge Racer.

What will it do for a lap time at the famous California circuit Laguna Seca? How about a 1:30.3? That’s almost exactly the same lap time Randy Pobst pulled in the 991-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Waiting for the aftermarket parts to make it look like a Jeep again.

Congrats Mercedes, you’ve built a 30 year old Honda Accord.

Looking at them like this, I think I actually like the original more. I’m sure the new one is better from a driving standpoint and the build quality is better, but aesthetically the new one looks like a 25 year old car that someone tried to update. The black trim starting on the sides and wrapping around the rear…
