RFC: A Car Subforum?
I've already ran this idea by staff and those supporting the site. What does everyone here think about a new Off-Topic subforum, tentatively titled "The Garage" where we discuss our cars, topics about cars etc. 

It's not a super passionate thing for me, but I think we have enough car guys here to warrant it. Thoughts?

https://codeberg.org/SolusRaion -- Code repos I control

Technical problems should be sent my way.

I'd be cool with it if it teaches me something, I don't want bunch of car pics and opinion puff pieces. Stories on repair or help with where to start on a symptom. That kind of thing. Technical learning, not a pin-up poster wall.

I think a mixture of showing off images of cars, chats about repairs and such, procedures, and a few opinion pieces here and there. You know me, when I talk about engineering topics I often put a lot of thought into it and don't just throw out a simple backhanded opinion. Like anywhere else on the site, participation, i've learned, needs to always be of the highest effort.
