The Drive Home “Driving Forward”
SEE ALSO: Great Drives and Destinations
The road may have been bumpy, but our wheels haven’t stopped turning… we’ve shifted gears, and we’re driving forward. With the announcement of the cancelation of the 2020 North American International Auto Show this spring and the government directed closures and limitations on gathering sizes related to COVID-19, we determined that it was best to postpone The Drive Home: Great American Family Road Trip to the fall of 2021 in the days leading up to the world’s premier international auto show, NAIAS.
However, we are committed to The Drive Home “Driving Forward” in 2020, so we have pivoted to The Drive Forward, a series of day drives across the country to support America’s Automotive Trust’s movement to keep car culture alive during this unprecedented time. The Drive Forward is part of the Rally Across America national effort to raise $1Million dollars for local charities across North America in the absence of car shows and concours events during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Now more than ever, driving is about pleasure not a commute. Simply going for a pleasurable drive provides a sense of freedom. We believe The Drive Forward can be a beacon of hope, provide a sense of calm and normalcy in what has otherwise been a very uncertain time and offer enthusiasts an opportunity for enjoyment.
