Housekeeping: In Which We Give Thanks

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S., aka Turkey Day, aka the high holy day of food (and booze-related gluttony), so we’re shuttering a little early today so our American crew can get a jumpstart on the holiday and our Canadian folks can get a little well-earned time off. We’ll be posting here and there over the long weekend, but expect a lighter content mix than usual.

We’ll be back Monday at full-speed, and I will be in Los Angeles next week as the auto show season kicks off in Los Angeles. We’re expecting debuts from Jeep, Subaru, Infiniti, Audi, Jaguar Land Rover, among others, so once you’ve gotten over your turkey coma, shaken off the hangover, gotten over the sore knee from the annual pickup football game, and forgotten that fight you had with your in-laws about the latest news from Washington, mosey on back to take your shots at the newest sheetmetal emerging from L.A.

Until then, drive safe and behave yourselves.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Sweet car. Did the best road trip of my life in one of those. During winter break in college, almost 20 years ago, we had a drunk idea to drive to NYC for New Years, and we did. Me and two friends drove from Minneapolis to NYC for New Years. Drove straight through, stopped in Chicago and Cleveland (at 4 AM) to check them out. After NYC we drove to Boston. Then Atlantic City. Then Washington DC. Then Pittsburgh. Then we went home, but not before stopping in Chicago again. That was the first time I saw the East Coast and it was great.

    I'm spending Thanksgiving on the river at my cousin's camp. We got a turkey breast and a chicken in the smoker and baked beans cooking on the grille. Its 55° and sunny, couldn't ask for a nicer day. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And yes, I love that Accord too.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I've always liked Hondas from that period. Simple but functional.
