It’s a cross county road trip with an old ice cream truck, three friends, eco conservation, film making and a dash of National Geographic Kids. Three friends, Caleb Kruse, Cameron Kruse and Jordan Fatke purchased an old ice cream truck, retrofitted it to run on vegetable oil and are driving around the county this summer. They’ll be giving away ice cream to children around the county, teaching them about conversation, having them sign a pledge and possibly eat some more ice cream-or maybe that’s me eating some.

The car I drive is never something that I’ve worried about too much; as long as it gets me from point A to B. My father has the car bug, that desire to get the newest, latest vehicle that can do things slightly better than last year’s model. He didn’t pass that gene to me. I am however, into the weird and creative. Dream Cars, the new exhibit this summer at the High Museum of Art is an art exhibit for gear heads, surrealists, engineers and pop culture people.
