Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
As much as I have bantered around a hundred different names for my new car – a fire-red 2013 Chevrolet Cruze – I realize that a car must be nicknamed properly. It’s that link between vehicle and driver. It’s that moment when you finally feel that it’s “your” car and not a “the bank holds…
