Take it to work, to the store, or for a country drive. Go by yourself or take your significant other, a friend, child, grandchild, or your dog. Meet up with some fellow Travelers. Then take a photo of your car. You and your car. Your car and your passenger. What ever! If your car isn't running, take a photo of it in your garage or under a tarp. Then send that photo to me with a brief description of where you are and who you're with. </span></div><div style="font-family: 'sfnstext' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'sfnstext' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-family: 'sfnstext' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'sfnstext' , 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;">If you don't want to go alone, there are two organized activities happening.
