  • What’s the Point of Road Rage?

    What’s the Point of Road Rage?

    Ooh boy, Spencer has another think piece. This is a cool driving style perspective on an internal debate/conversation I have almost every day. I will start with my very literal perspective on road rage; legit the entire first section will be exactly what the title says. Then, I’ll move over to the think piece segment,…

  • The Perfect Road Trip

    The Perfect Road Trip

    This blog will be entirely metaphorical, piecing together parts of road trips to create, in my opinion, The Perfect Road Trip. It will be broken down into categories: The company, the essentials, and the vibes. This doesn’t necessarily cover everything that can go into a road trip, but covers the things I find most necessary…

  • The View From My Passenger’s

    The View From My Passenger’s

    This sounds similar to another blog, but is a totally different idea and one that I think was fun to do (mostly because it was a lot of compliments to me). I texted 16 people who I felt knew me really well, a conglomeration of friends and family, and asked the first 3 words they…

  • I Am Always My Own Passenger

    I Am Always My Own Passenger

    Well what the heck does that mean Spencer? Aren’t passengers the people who aren’t driving the car? How can you be driving your life and also be a passenger? Well, I feel like the different parts of my body are sort of all the passengers of the car that is Spencer. More than anything else,…

  • Riding Shotgun With Me

    Riding Shotgun With Me

    When I say riding shotgun, I don’t mean that literally. Like all of these blogs, I have to make it relevant to driving, I mean metaphorically riding shotgun with me through life. If you got a front row seat to the life of Spencer, what would you learn that other people don’t? Even someone in…

  • Old Drive Pt. 1

    Old Drive Pt. 1

    This is the first of potentially many (or the first of just one) recaps of old drives. This one won’t be a specific drive, or a specific moment. More than anything, it will recap snippets of recurring memories from drive to drive, but not just any drives, specifically my family drives to St. Louis. My…

  • I Don’t Know What I’m Doing, but I Still Keep Driving

    I Don’t Know What I’m Doing, but I Still Keep Driving

    I don’t think this is a unique feeling, but I don’t really know what I am doing. To be honest, I’m not sure anyone fully does. Some people think they do, or others act like they do (shoutout one of my old blogs), but life is far too complicated for me to feel confident that…

  • What I Drove to this Week

    What I Drove to this Week

    This is a potentially recurring idea to highlight some of my favorite things I am listening to in the car (which is usually podcasts by the way) when I’m not yapping for Sunday Driving. To start, I want to highlight the two podcasts I listen to as soon as I can every time they come…

  • A Drive with my Younger Self

    A Drive with my Younger Self

    Dear Younger Spencer, This is a letter to a broad and non-specified version of myself as a younger kid. It isn’t being sent just to Spencer in second grade when he was Elfis (an Elf version of Elvis) or Spencer in eighth grade when he was finishing a growth spurt and was built like uncooked…

  • Behind the Wheel

    Behind the Wheel

    A peak behind the wheel of Sunday Driving Welcome. This is the first of what will hopefully be a lot of blogs, most of which will compliment/go along with Sunday Driving. How they link will be more or less obvious depending on the post, some will pretty much only be linked through wordplay in the…
