This new YouTube video is essentially an advertisement for a blog, … drive through my mind …, which details Jake’s journey on Route 66 in September 2007 in a red 1966 Ford Mustang.
The “About the author” piece explains the tone of site well:
I’m curious what captures our attention, piques our interest, informs our opinions, and provokes our judgment. And I love love love cars, particularly the muscle-era American classics where backyard grease monkeys could make horses to the back axle and cruise for chicks any given Saturday on any main street drag. Living in Chicago it would be a sin not to take the advice of fellow enthusiasts and drive old Route 66 to see it once before it’s gone. If you decide to come along you’ll see some neat sites from the trip. Mostly this is a meditation, a chance for me to lay out in words some of the things that have been kicking around in my mental junk drawer for the past few decades. (Am I dating myself? Judge me…bring it.) Thanks for your interest. Enjoy the ride.
I’ve read a good chunk of the lengthy blog. It’s thoughtful, self-indulgent, idiosyncratic, entertaining and occasionally maddening.
In short, it’s one of the best Route 66 blogs I’ve read out there.
