I don&#8217;t know if it was because everybody was at home looking for things to read or how to fix their own cars, but in May I got over 6,000 views in one month. I&#8217;m glad so many people have discovered this blog and I&#8217;m thankful for everyone who&#8217;s read my posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this last year I also had my first major car crash, totalling my Corolla, but now I have a nice 2014 Civic that I plan on driving for a long time, so you&#8217;ll be seeing it in lots of posts in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The YouTube channel has been growing, slowly, and I have a good time making videos.
