Eagle Nest, New Mexico, 2012. “People like to drive because driving is actually and symbolically an almost perfect mechanism for escape…there is probably no human being who does not have troubles, real or imagined, from which he at times feels the need to flee.” George R. Stewart.

That's one heck of a Chevy pickup you got there! Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that a Chevy Silverado Classic? I’ve always loved how that truck rides. It’s a heavyweight that can handle heavy-duty chores. You can drive down to Germany with no worries at all because that truck is made for long driving. But, don't forget to load up the gas tank!
