The first time I met Travis, we were both on the shuttle from the airport to a hotel in Palm Springs to drive the SS and the Corvette Convertible. He introduced himself, and instead of saying my own name back, I replied with, “You’re the Travis From Jalopnik?” Read more

Travis, thanks for all of your hard work, it’s been fun following your columns. Read more

“The staff here is the best and hardest working in this business.” Read more

Hate to see you go, Travis. I've always enjoyed your work and am sure it will continue at Road & Track. Best of luck.
