For the first time ever, my car got towed. I felt raped. Violated. But I guess it didn’t come as too much of a surprise because my bumper was over a guy’s driveway, even if it was just by a bit. Later at the tow yard, I learned that you have to leave 1.5M from the edge of the driveway. A lesson that cost me $50. At least they didn’t screw up my door locks windows when they got in to release the parking brake.

After having deliberated the future of my previous site, I have decided to shut it down and migrate to wordpress.com. It's been fun running members.shaw.ca/cxvi but I don't think it could have survived another redesign (to version 5, if I've kept track correctly). Reasons? For starters, simple HTML simply doesn't cut it anymore for me. I need mySQL, PHP, RSS, and all the other goodies that I've wanted to use but couldn't. Also, the fact that I've just graduated might have something to do with this.
So what's new? Well, if I had to categorize this site, it is a blog about cars, as you can probably tell by the title. With the whole Web 2.0 thing, everything seems to be tagged into one category or another nowadays. Oh, something I really like about this site is the ability to leave comments without having to be a member. Blogger, MSN Spaces, Xanga: it's time to get with it.
Any promises? Not really. I won't guarantee that this site will be the supreme authority on automotive talk, in fact it'll probably be just another blog about cars written by just another author with things on his mind.
So why am I reading this? That's a good question to ask yourself. Maybe you know me from somewhere and reading something by someone familiar makes it more real. Or maybe you really do find what I have to write interesting. Whatever the case, here's a toast to the close of Erkx Online and the launch of The Six Speed Transmission.
