It all started with a dream to chase her grandmother’s spirit across the USA in a Chevrolet…
And two weeks into her journey to celebrate Chevrolet’s Centennial year and a family tradition, Tara O’Grady has made her mark on large cities and small towns from New York, Ohio and Illinois all the way to South Dakota and Wyoming.
During all her stops, Tara has been taking photos and videos of fellow Chevrolet fans and asking them to sing, “See the USA in a Chevrolet”.
With a Chevrolet Equinox, Tara visited the General Motors Duramax plant in Ohio, had a private dance lesson from a famed Chicago artist and met fellow Chevrolet lovers at ice cream shops half way across the country, before finally arriving in the Windy City…
After a brief stop in Chicago, Tara switched into a Chevrolet Silverado to make the trip from Chicago to Washington State. Why? Because variety is the spice of life and why not try something new?
Her Chevrolet Silverado has helped her reach Wisconsin, Minnesota and finally the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota!
Where is Tara now? Last we checked she was on a ranch in Wyoming… but not for long. Her journey continues…
Continue following Tara on her blog as she celebrates Chevrolet and fulfills a life dream. And be sure to check out all the amazing pictures and videos from her roadtrip companion Lauren Fedders.

Thanks guys! We are having a blast and wouldn't have it any other way! We've officially reach our finally destination here in Seattle, and will spend a day and night checking out the city before we head back! Keep following us, we've got some great stories!

We've crossed the entire country and see Chevy owners on every road we travel. We've learned that America LOVES Chevrolet. It has been fun chatting with owners of vintage models as well as Silverados. Every time we hop out of the truck, people want to talk to us because they don't expect gals like us to be driving such an impressive vehicle. Today we're heading to the car wash in Seattle because we've picked up one too many guests on the grill. More to come on the trip of a lifetime…
