Have ‘Vette, will travel

May 30, 2023 by Dave Knadler

I too would have traveled America in a ‘61 Corvette, solving the problems of pretty young women along the way. All I lacked were a driver’s license, frat-boy looks, and of course the car. I watched “Route 66” quite a bit as a kid, even after discovering that the show rarely involved interesting homicides […]

Highway 21 revisited

October 22, 2019 by Dave Knadler

Last Friday I was driving up I-95 to see my daughter and her girls in Virginia. Somewhere south of Savannah a gleaming red Mercedes coupe with New York plates swept by on my left. It was car to remember, even more so because there was an enormous cream-colored cat lounging the back window, calmly […]

Travels in Trumpland

September 18, 2016 by Dave Knadler

On the road again. This time I’m driving from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic — Seaside, Ore., to Jacksonville, Fla. This may take awhile. It’s a nice time of year to be piloting a late-model SUV across this great country of ours. But along the way I keep seeing Trump signs, and, occasionally, […]

I got them new-car hankerin’ blues

June 10, 2016 by Dave Knadler

I’m getting ready to hit the road. It’s mid-June in Florida, which means it’s time to decamp to a cooler clime. Since airfares back to the homeland are north of $900, this year I’ll be driving. I just hope the car is up to it. We have two cars: one 16 years old, the […]

A poseur in the Capitol of Cool

July 11, 2013 by Dave Knadler

We have arrived in Missoula, Mont., after trekking 2,600 miles or so across this great nation of ours in a red Nissan Altima. The car is slightly worse for the wear; yesterday a chunk of wood detached itself from a logging truck on I-90 and knocked out the passenger-side mirror. So at least part […]

Mystery photo number twenty

August 26, 2012 by Dave Knadler

The building looks suspiciously new, but this is said to be the boyhood home of an American legend. Back then, of course, there were a lot fewer souvenir stores in the neighborhood. The body of water barely visible in the background played a big role in the life of this great American. For one […]
