		<title>2008 IDRC International Finals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was pretty short notice.. it seemed like this year&#8217;s event was a little last-minute.. but it went OK nonetheless. Mike actually asked me to go just to check it out and snap some pics.. to be honest, I wasn&#8217;t all that excited. I told him if there was no drifting, then there&#8217;d be nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another One Bites the Dust: Sport Compact Car Magazine is no more..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow.. one after another.. Sport Compact Car has now joined the ranks of Turbo &#038; Hi-Tech Performance Magazine. Poof, just like that.. 115 people laid off by Source Interlink. I guess with a stock price of $0.17, everyone should&#8217;ve known it was coming.
I still have one of the original issues of Sport Compact Car, before [...]]]></description>

		<title>At Last: Canon EOS 40D Shutter Count Retrieval! (Works on 40D, 50D, 450D, and 1000D)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the time of this writing, this program should work on all DIGIC III and IV cameras EXCEPT for the 1D and 1Ds. The author, Astrojargon, believes it should work on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, but until someone actually receives one or tests this program, we wont know for sure.
Reading his FAQ #7, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Bull Drifting World Championship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I have to hand it to Red Bull.. if there&#8217;s anything worth doing that you can do better by throwing money at it, they&#8217;ll do it.. the event was pretty big.. at least as big as Irwindale, but felt bigger.. more people, more vendors, etc etc.. I&#8217;d say the ticket prices were a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farewell Turbo &#038; Hi-Tech Performance Magazine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didnt have the benefit of going to a high school where the untapped potential of import cars was valued by its population of students. The hot cars at my school were the Ford Mustang and Chevy IROC Z or Z28. Being the type to cheer for the underdog, I never really liked either car. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Acura Honda Navigation (Black) DVD Update v2.50.. My Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve had our 2003 Honda Pilot since it was new. We bought it December or 2002 from Gardena Honda (which sucks, by the way). I really wanted an Acura MDX, but since they were essentially overpriced Honda Pilots, I couldnt bring myself to part with the money. Instead, we opted for a fully-loaded Honda Pilot.
