About this title

Synopsis

This is a car book like no other—packed with amazing accounts, fascinating facts, and spectacular stats. A must for any car nut. Did you know that Jasons and Tracys crash more cars than Jacquelines and Damons? Or that a boomerang can be used to repair a worn-out clutch? Have you ever wanted to visit a naked car show, wondered what it's like to drive on the world's most dangerous road, or receive the most expensive speeding ticket of all time? Want to read about flying cars, amphibious cars, or atomic cars? What about the Accord that can actually strike a chord, or the "love parking lot?" Dip inside to find all these plus loads of other stuff, including cars in film, cars on TV, cars in songs—even cars as coffins!
