The Car

Many people have been asking about our car. Initially, we had a 1988 BMW. We'd fallen in love with it. We'd each written a favourite quote from an Obama speech on the hood, we'd designed a 'Drive for Obama' motif, which adorned the back bumper, and our closest friends had scrawled messages of Hope and support across the back.

We were going to ask each person we spoke with along the route to add their own message or comment, to try and make the car a piece of 'art.'

Sadly, our dream machine never made it out of New York. We couldn't register it in time. Oh, and it wouldn't start. Oh, AND the key snapped in the door, so we couldn't even get in it.

Plan B was the somewhat less romantic Pontiac G6, a plain white hire car we picked up on Day One in New Jersey.

Still, as we drive and make contact with local campaign offices, we are accumulating new things to garb it with. We hope the bumper stickers from Louisiana and the other states we volunteer in will wash off come return day!

But we are taking the message to the road...have a look!
