We saw a minivan the other day that looked like it would do just fine were it launched into space. It was sensible, shiny and ugly, but we're sure the driver thinks it's just fine for three kids (six when car-pooling), a dog, and an occasional husband. We've also seen a car that sports the only graffiti in New England and a Hulk Hogan hood ornament, and that's fine too. It gets the driver where she's going. We bring you here a love affair with the road, be it on four wheels or two. It's time for a little peace, love, and disco on the road.
