QUOTED — Nostalgic Road Trip Icons

June 13, 2022 —

This is a bit of a non sequitur: I was quoted by the American Automobile Association (AAA) regarding nostalgic road trip memories and “Windshield Duty”. This article was also picked up by StuckAtTheAiport.

As a kid on family road trips, “I was too young to drive, had no radio rights and no money to contribute for gas or snacks,” says Michael Ashley Schulman, who grew up to be an investment officer in Southern California.

But Schulman could help wash the windows when the family stopped for fuel during road trips.

“To this day, swirling a sopping wet sponge on a stick across an insect-laden front windshield, cleanly squeegeeing the water in long methodical swipes with a rubber blade, and then wiping the run lines down with gas station brown paper reminds me of childhood summer road trips across America,” Schulman says.
