It’s 2019. As a sort of professional auto enthusiast, I am not permitted to have opinions or preferences that differ from that of those who pay the bills. As such, this website has gone under cover.
When I started documenting my car life online, it was 1998. Geocities was boss of the internet and Slide Squad was a real thing, and Real Ultimate Power was clearly defined. It’s has now been 21 years, and I have more than doubled in age. My dreams have not changed… but everything else has.
1 ...busy. Ryan and I took a few moments recently to re-count some of our car life history. The objective was to tabulate the number of cars he had owned and in what order. Figuring it all out, took looking back through the archives of this website, including the final pre-wordpress version which I have stuck on the shelf at http://old.qrgarage.ca. For […]

That’s good to hear, I wish I could have a car that I don’t want to work on.
Every car I could see myself owning, my first thoughts are, cut this, weld that. And I already have a car that has pretty much taken over my life. For better or for worse, it never ends. at least even if my car may have a bit of internet celebrity, I am still completely anonymous even here in Calgary.
You mean you aren’t a star yet, Paul? I’ll hafta do something about that.
