What We Drive

This week and maybe next week and for all the weeks that follow, I've decided to really take a good long look at the topics that shape our world.  Like whether middle class is really in the $175-$275k income bracket not the $200-250K somebody thinks, or the $50k that the Census Bureau statistics show.  Actually, I am kidding, I see no real point in arguing the whether gray is gray or grey is grey.  So instead, a look at the car in family photos, everyone has one, photo that is, of a car.  Whether or not it is of the car alone or with somebody and the car, everyone has a photo in which a car is purposely in the photo.  It could be because the car is status symbol or that represents something to the photographer.  There is a conscious or unconscious decision to have a picture of a loved one with the car, it simply doesn't just happen.  So realizing it or not, the car is brought into the family and thus we can look back at our lives with cars as a benchmark.  A benchmark of America at that moment and of the our families.  Tonight's example kid, with Chevrolet.
