Mason Dixon and I were on the road the other day on all six feet when we noticed something really sad. Let me back up a step or two. There’s a house on our daily walk that’s been empty for at least a year, probably 2. I can’t remember if someone lived there when I first started [...]

You know what’s fun? Resuscitating an old Ford out of hibernation. As most of you loyal followers know, I have an old Ford Escape XLT, fully loaded, don’t judge. It’s a great old “truck” because I a. don’t owe any money on it b. the insurance is hilariously cheap and c. it never has any [...]

Y’all we have a lot to cover. I also have a confession: I got my car back a liiiiitle sooner than expected. I’ve been driving for about 3 weeks now. But you can’t blame me. To start, I’d like to thank a handful of friends who gave me a ride somewhere. I’m certain I have a [...]

Here’s the thing about when bad things happen: good things happen, too. I have a lot of really great friends, all of whom jumped in with love, support and offers to help any way they can when I told them about getting laid off. My writer friend Mark Puckett (markdamonpuckett.com) has been in Idaho for [...]

Hi y’all. If you read my other blog Rachael from the Sideview, you know I have my palm out, waiting for your contributions. Literally. No one likes to be asked for money. I know that. So in this post, I’ll put my hands in my own pockets and ask just for your affection. Hear me out: On [...]

I’ve been meaning to mention this lately. It seems that suddenly, and inexplicably, Hyundai and Kia became… cool. My pals at Auto123.com wrote a piece on Hyundai and Kia becoming “a victim of their own success“, so I felt inspired to jump on their coattails and get this post out. I know, I know. The Koreans [...]

Y’all, I owe you a huge apology. I have been MIA for like, a while. But I have an excuse, really, I do. I’ve been “on the road,” and last I checked, it’s terribly illegal to blog and drive. Not a good excuse? I know. I’m sorry. Anyway, I’m back and it’s a new season [...]

I received this in my inbox today. This might be the best email I have ever received: MASON DIXON by Peter Doyle Rachael stopped and looked down at him again, then shook her head in humorous disbelief. Her dog–if that’s what he really was–continued to mystify her. He had all the right doggy parts: four [...]

This is embarrassing. Like really embarrassing. I was at the New York International Auto Show, what a week, two weeks ago? No. Two and a half months ago. I apologize for the delay. I was even considering not acknowledging that I went since so much time has passed. You know, if you ignore a problem [...]

You know what’s sad? When something happens to your car. I really hate that. A twit Someone on Twitter was teasing me recently for admitting that I get very emotional at the sight wrecked car. I can’t help it. It cuts me. It cuts me deep. Fittingly, I work at a car dealership where the inventory is full [...]
