Never sell a good car. I owned this 1969 Chevrolet Brookwood wagon for 15 years. Bought it in 1987 for $750 in Santa Barbara from a lady going into a nursing home. Sold it in 2002 because I was living in Maine and for some stupid reason I didn't think I had time to drive it across the country. Sold it for $1500, and I've since seen it on eBay for $7k. Today in Hutchinson, Kansas, I found another wagon at last, and bought it for $20.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."

Girl Car
Not to be essentialist or anything, but women have not been responding with wild enthusiasm to Autoliterate's preoccupation with cheap aged trucks. Time for a female perspective on things vehicular. BB was up in Amsterdam the other day, with her oog* and her iPhone, and caught the Fiat below. Many more fresh images from NL are up on her blog, bashasoog.blogspot.com/

Volvo 122S
Saw it in Freeport, Maine a couple weeks back. I'm in Wichita right now, teaching & writing at Wichita State U. There is a lot of old metal rumbling around out here on the high dry plains, but I've been holed up in my office at WSU all week. I hope to get out this weekend and take a good look around. The last Volvos of this era I looked at were in The Netherlands, last year.
