You're OT thread is a car thread.
As for the point, that's what the BS Lounge is for basically, but an OT thread is fine to add too.
If you don't like,and there is some kind of consensus, that OT (i.e., non-automotive) threads hit the main page thread list, we can filter it. Presently we filter Politics and Relgion for that reason. That should be an only if you want to section.
