Aunt Ethel

      Jim Graham's Aunt Ethel was a car girl.

Chevrolet Wheelbarrow

 

Amy Sauber's new truck "...is a 2008 white Chevy Silverado 1500. Crank windows, two-seater, the whole 9. I love her and have never felt more comfortable in a vehicle in my life. As Jenny Lewis sings, "I'm a Chevrolet Angel." 

Bought in Derry, NH down the road from Robert Frost's farmhouse (The Robert Frost Farm). Poet truck, I guess you could say, hence the "poetry is not dead" David slapped on her."

Amy's short story "Tart" is out in Joyland. The truck certainly belongs in our favorite truck genre, the wheelbarrow truck.

Need some Winter?

 

We caught the 3100 on the road from Maine to Montreal a few Februarys ago.
