Chunky (for a track-package Camaro) offroad tires are just so look-back-at-it worthy.

Have you looked back at your car today? I feel like that’s a common thing for Oppos to do.

Still editing the video footage, will update this post once I have a full video ready.

Like, uhh, I guess rallycross is BWAHAHAHA this is so goddamn fun I’m at a loss for words hahahaha

AMA while I work on getting the rest of the footage together

EDIT 06-13 2021 9am:

Here's a quick GIF. Way more footage to work through than I thought. I've got both external shots and onboard/bumper GoPro footage.

This GIF puts a silly grin on my face every time.

EDIT 06-15: 1st lap video

I picked up my guitar to start learning again recently, and realized the OPPO logo kinda parallels the volume and tone knobs on the instrument. The next step was obvious.

Thanks again @Curators and @KITT222 for making these happen! I’ll be stickering up the vehicles next.

Expect tons of traffic to opposite-lock.com someday on the off chance that I somehow become a rock star

Thank you @KITT222 and @Curators for making these happen!

Two wheels good

Look at this heckin’ boi:

Like, that is one (1) longboi of a doggo.

Odin relaxes in a super chill state like this for 90% of waking hours, but is a major turbocharged ball of borkpower when he feels like it.

This’ll be a lot of work but he’s improving. Now responds to ”sit!” about 80% of the time.

2020 has been the most pivotal single year for education, ever. Having just wrapped up my last final exam for the fall 2020 semester at my university, here are some thoughts:

For all of you who have gone through the trials & tribulations of studying this year, give yourself a hearty pat on the back. All the challenges this year have given us an education like no other.

For all of you who work in education (be that any teaching, administrative, or supporting role, tenured or adjunct, faculty or staff, maintenance, IT, any campus involvement whatsoever), thank you so, SO much. You’ve all worked through major challenges to make education keep happening this year, and we couldn’t do it without each and every one of you.

If these massive shifts in our school paradigms say anything, it’s that we can work together to overcome just about anything. The number of brilliant people and brilliant communities I’ve connected with and worked with this semester is beyond anything I could have imagined in a pre-2020 world.

A huge thanks to everyone who’s been along for this wild ride of a year. I can’t wait to see what we achieve in 2021 and beyond.

A ‘95 (1st gen pre-facelift) Viper in green:

Over an earth-tone interior!

What’s that? Those there, with the tires on ‘em?

Directional 3-spoke wheels?? yes please

It’s so perfect. Like, ideal ‘90s sports car color scheme. And it’s an OG Viper. Daily driving this would be such an adventure.

If you squint at this one, it’s the world’s most excessively indicated “this is the male side” bathroom silhouette ever:

@shop-teacher The ratio of wagon:wheels size is really entertaining, kind of a lowrider vibe! Awesome build.

@skyfire77 no matter which way you try to click it, you’ll always take at least 3 tries to get it right

@gettingoldercarguy I find the 4th-generation Toyota MR2 to be really disappointing in its absence

@danny-korecki @e90m3

Liam Nissan Versa confirmed

@davesaddiction @Tripper I appreciate that! Hahaha. I think the Camaro was probably a better starting point because:

• bigger wheel arches fit the A/T tires without modifying anything
• torquey turbo engine (An 8k RPM S54 sounds like it’d be really unhappy spinning offroad tires by comparison)
• space in the trunk for a full size spare, no cutting necessary

I’m grateful my Camaro has the above advantages, because I have neither the skill nor patience to go to the lengths the seller did for his build.

Well done @Miss-Mercedes (I assume you’re in command of the tank in the 2nd article.)

It finally rained for the first time here in months in SoCal. Like, most other places take rain for granted, but here it’s a major celebration. We’re still way behind on precipitation for the year. This was on the heels of a quite hectic weekend for me, so I’m feeling quite refreshed to start the week with some good news like this.

How’s your Monday going, Oppo?
