John Hastings, colophon: "There are many threads that one might follow when unraveling the fabric that is a person's life. For this book I decided to write a story based on the cars that have been important to me. It begins from my earliest recollections and ends with me pondering an uncertain future. I do, however, remain optimistic and look forward to traveling many more roads and highways."

Hastings begins his love affair with cards with this: "If I had been raised in the urban core of a major U. S. City, I doubt I would have spent nearly as much time riding in cars. I would have had access to public transportation. I would have walked. But I was raised in the West in smaller towns and city suburbs, where hardly anything a person needed was within walking distance. "
