An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
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 is not a search engine
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.

+1 for Suzuki Samurai. I want my 1992 Suzuki Samurai back.
Not a 1992 Suzuki Samurai. That specific Samurai (it doesn't exist any more, my brother totalled it).
It was the fuel-injected engine instead of the carbureted. Could go anywhere, anytime. Got like 500 miles to the gallon.
I'm often reminded of my Geo Tracker and think "I can fix him". It just wasn't the right time to have a rusted-out, holey-framed, bad-on-the-highway vehicle with basically neither cargo nor passenger capacity. But there's something special and forgotten about having a Miata-length vehicle of any kind.
The EFI's were way more fun than the carbureted. Ive had a 1987, 1993, currently have a 1990 (oem restored) and a 1994 w/ a blown motor.
They wheel like a dream. And your right that little gas tank could take half way around the world before you needed a refill!
Oh man I remember in the late 90s when gas was like a $1 a gallon I could fill up the Samurai for $10 and it would last like 3 weeks.
So do I my friend, the years go too quick!
