Anyone driven their lowered GTI (or any lowered vehicle) on the Alaska Highway? I'm planning a cross country road trip this summer. Hoping to hit the 48 states + Alaska.

How can I dispose of like ~8 gallons of E85? I have some containers of it that have been sitting in my garage for over a year. I tried giving it away for free, but that didn't work, and at this point, it's probably not best to use anyway. I wouldn't mind keeping the containers, but can't just like dump it out on the ground...

There’s usually hazardous waste facilities where you can bring it. Check your state or city website.

Run it in your lawnmower. 😂

Ask Jerry if he has a guy.

Do metal VW wheel center caps exist? I'd like to have them powder coated to match my wheels.

Realistically, how much power could I get maxing out on 93? I don't really have interest on going E85 right now

Will I need to upgrade to a GFB DV+ prior to installing the DTR kit, or will the stock DV hold just fine?

Going IS38+ on my GTI, as I interpret the "plus" details to imply a higher limitation as opposed to the OEM IS38. I'm planning on running the factory downpipe from my IS20 for the time being, should I simply get an OTS IS38 tune for the time being? Is it dumb to stay on stock fueling (93 is the plan this time around)? I'm not looking for massive numbers, I just know that I'd like some more top end out of the car -- the lower area of the rev range is delightful, and I'm just looking for a bit better top end to match. In the future I may consider HPFP and E30, but I looked into the Vortex standard and don't think it's for me, at least not with a FWD GTI.
