Synopsis

In the third and final volume of his iconic Motor Oil For a Car Guys Soul series, author, journalist and adventurer Kevin Clemens has written on a variety of topics of vital interest to automobile enthusiasts. The first volume of Motor Oil won the Ken Purdy Award for Excellence in Automotive Journalism. The second volume provided more insight into the quirky and arcane world of the committed car guy of either gender. In his latest book are stories about the earliest days of the automobile, the life of an automotive artist, the joys of micro car motoring and the art of working on cars. There are reviews and driving impressions of more than twenty cars that, while largely unappreciated now, may someday become collectable classics. There are travel stories that range from driving a 1929 Chrysler Roadster from Peking to Paris and scuttling around the Pyrenees Mountains in a tiny two-cylinder East German Trabant. Clemens has written extensively about the changing world and what those changes mean for the enthusiast and his observations on topics such as biofuels, the future of oil, hybrid vehicles, and what role car guys of either gender will play in the future of transportation and the automobile provide a deeper understanding and a basis for discussion.
