1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I replaced my downpipe with a fancy performance one and took the old one to the scrapyard. Turns out the two catalytic converters on my old one were worth $180. So I bought an expensive bottle of whiskey.

I tell a lie, I actually bought some scotch. Ten year old Laphroaig.

I’ve heard you can get great handling with beefier sway bars on the stock suspension so I’ll start there and see how I like it. They’re a lot easier to do than coilovers all the way around.

But she’d look really good with about 2” less ride height

My other car is a 2015 Volvo v60 but she’s been rock solid and is the road trip car. My GTI is just for running errands and fun.

The one thing to be careful with swaybars is that it can make the car oversteer/understeer especially in snow/rain. Oversteer in fwd cars is fun because you don't want to let off the gas and transition the weight off the rear. I used to auto-x a dodge neon. I would pump up the rear tires so I could get the car to rotate, of course I had to stay on the gas through long sweepers or it would come around.
