After HowToDoLife was blocked, HowToDriveACar showed up two days later and edited similar articles.
- HowToDoLife was block for vandalism, mostly to Newzoids. Amid unrelated disruption, HowToDoLife changed the "last aired" date at Newzoids: [1]. HowToDriveACar also changed the "last aired" date: [2]. HowToDriveACar has also blanked the article: [3], though HTDAC quickly reverted this vandalism.
- HowToDoLife changed dates at List of Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids episodes: [4]. Directly after HowToDoLife was blocked, HowToDriveACar changed dates in the same article: [5].
