The Passenger Seat

The softest corner of Hood & Pod. What happens when a car guy's life includes a minivan (his wife's, and he respects it), two kids who ask questions he can't always answer, and the daily reality of fitting car seats, grocery runs, and cold air intake whistles into the same Saturday. Road trips, scratched bumpers, and the honest truth about building a life around cars — not building cars around a life.
