Anti-Infotainment: the 1957 Chevrolet Station Wagon & Autoliterate Book-of-the-Year winner


Weather report from Michael Moore, on San Francisco Bay:
"Well damn, it IS so cold here a person has to put on a [light] jacket over their sweatshirt to walk comfortably along the water in the morning, but by afternoons, t-shirt weather, a guy can ride his bike around town and turn up stuff like this... somewhat rotten '57 Chev on the jetty [I like the seagull and the furry dice in the first one, but that second pic REALLY gives a sense of our ambience...] yesterday; that would be Mount Diablo in the distance beyond the refineries of Martinez ... "--MSM
As our Texan-Quebecois friend, The Idiosyncratic Gearhead, says: Friends don't let friends use infotainment; neither the word, the concept, nor the hard- and software. 
In that spirit we're happy to announce the winner of this year's Anti-Infotainment Prize as Autoliterate's Book of the Year for 2014: Earl Swift's auto-biography of a '57 Chevy wagon
