I hope not.
Even if I just pretty much lurk around Oppo now, this is quite the bummer.
I thought I saw some posts where someone convinced a writer to look into saving us, and then Patrick George redacted his eulogy; did nothing come of this? we’re really getting shut down?
And what’s the consensus; are w’all (contraction I just invented based on the southern “y’all”) going to “The Hyphen” or DriveTribe? I should probably check them out soon...
So long as we’re all (sorry..., wr’all) sharing our first posts on here. It seems I posted about the P1, still my favorite car way back in March 2013.
We’ve shared some great experiments over the years. I like to think that I helped some people get writing gigs in the car industry, but they probably would have gotten them without me anyways.
I’m happy I started Formula Freak, but man did it turn into a “job” (see: unpaid internship where you do all your boss’s work) quick, yuck. But I am thinking about starting up the podcast again cause that was fun, so we’ll see.
I wish The Opposite Locker would have performed better, but ah well.
Tom helped me buy my first car, a Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Coupe R-Spec that I loved dearly and sold after 120,000 miles to a coworker.
Some of us had a good time playing GT4 a few years ago. My memory is super foggy, but whoever you are that was a riot.
If anyone cares to keep in touch on social media, I’ve shared some links below. I’m not super active, but here they are...
