My favorite read this time was definitely John Irving Almost in Iowa. I the drivers loved his relationship with his volvo. He is so charismatic with his car through out the whole journey. It not even the drivers how wants to go make home but because of the cars condition they do. He sacrifices his trip for his volvo. I started to get a little confuse at the end when the police report was told. I didn’t get it if they had gotten in a crash or what. I mean it seemed like they did in the report and then they called the wife, which it seemed like she had an affair, and the other man picked up. Then it cut back to the driver and his story and I wasn’t sure what had happened. Other wise I really liked the chapter and am intrigued in this guys writing. He’s a good author.
On another note I found this amazing artist that made me think about our weekend goal to paint on peoples cars. His name is Scott Wade and his does stunning art on the back of people car out of dirt, clay and dust. It’s called Dirty Car Art. The pictures are so realistic and amusing. Most of the ones I’ve looked at have been on the back windshield of cars. The shading he does is very good but it comes right off because it is just dirt. Here’s the link.http://www.dirtycarart.com/

Wow... The Dirty Car Art is fabulous, Sarah! Thanks for this link. Makes me think of Tibetan sand painting, which is designed to be wiped away immediately. All that skill and effort for a completely ephemeral form of art!
