Book Description
Do you understand the real meanings of car ads? Welcome to the real world of classic cars! This is not meant to be a "How To" book. It is more of a "Don't Do What I Did" book. With a delightfully satirical and zany look at the world of classic car restorers and enthusiasts. The author uses his own experiences, over the last fourteen years, to illustrate the joys and pitfalls of ownership, upkeep, and maintenance of a classic car. The author states "I am writing this book for the prospective/novice classic car owner, who can hopefully learn from my mistakes and avoid making some of their own. The experienced classic car owner may not learn from my mistakes but will most likely laugh at, and possibly identify with, my mistakes," (Think! Yep! I did that too!). Covers the full range of emotions from humor to anger in the life of a car guy, with a heavy emphasis on humor. You do not have to be a car guy (or girl) to enjoy this book. If you enjoy cars and the people involved in this hobby, then this book is for you. Go to a local car show, talk to the owners, and you will have an even deeper appreciation of this book.

Book Description
Eighteen-year-old Torino "Tori" Crystal, an extremely beautiful young lady, is feeling like her life has been completely destroyed. First, her parents were separately murdered three months ago and nobody has been caught and charged. Plus, she feels so isolated and alone since she's been made fun of pretty much her whole life for hanging out at her father's hot rod shop and not chasing boys. Mainly, however, it's due to the fact that her eyes are two different colors. However, as she's on the train from Queens, NY to Atlanta, GA, she meets twenty-two year-old Ted Carlton, a very handsome young man who owns his own auto detail and restoration business. However, the first time Ted sees Tori, it seems that her dead parents are trying to get them together. Plus, when Tori sees her new friend's farm, she suddenly remembers a dream she had of seeing this exact farm, and meant that the owner of it would help her. As their friendship slowly transforms, Tori's courage and self-confidence begin to slowly rebuild, but she keeps getting troubled by extremely disturbing nightmares. It's not until the end of the week that this young lady finally is told of her true heritage and how she must take her place and earn the title of 'Warrior Queen'.

Book Description
In Outraged, an auto insider provides an inspiring account of what it means to lose your rights, property, and, in essence, the American dream. It begins with roughly two thousand men and women whose companies were destroyed by two automakers, General Motors and Chrysler, during their government-led corporate restructurings in 2009. Authors Tamara Darvish, vice president of DARCARS Automotive in Maryland, and Lillie Guyer, a Detroit area automotive journalist, show the collapse of the American dream from the perspective of an entrepreneur who was affected by the automotive industry bailout. In this featurized business story, Outraged details the founding of the activist group Committee to Restore Dealer Rights and its efforts to regain the economic rights of auto dealerships throughout the United States. It tells how they took their fight to Congress and to the steps of the White House. Outraged candidly examines the battles between dealers and the entities that engineered their demise. It also details the pain and the high points in government as its temporary power brokers ignore the significant role of Congress in lawmaking and the rights of ordinary citizens. This personal, controversial account shows what can happen when people unite in a common cause and stand up for what they believe is right.

Book Description
A USA Today New and Noteworthy Title “You’ll tell me if it ever starts getting genuinely insane, right?”—Elon Musk, TED interview Hamish McKenzie tells how a Silicon Valley start-up's wild dream came true. Tesla is a car company that stood up against not only the might of the government-backed Detroit car manufacturers but also the massive power of Big Oil and its benefactors, the infamous Koch brothers. The award-winning Tesla Model 3, a premium mass-market electric car that went on sale in 2018, has reconfigured the popular perception of Tesla and continues to transform the public's relationship with motor vehicles—much like Ford's Model T did nearly a century ago. At the same time, company CEO Elon Musk courts controversy and spars with critics through his Twitter account, just as Tesla's ever-increasing debt teeters on junk bond status.... As McKenzie's rigorously reported account shows, Tesla has triggered frenzied competition from newcomers and traditional automakers alike, but it retains an edge because of its expansive infrastructure and the stupendous battery factory it built in the Nevada desert. The popularity of electric cars is growing around the world, especially in China, and McKenzie interviews little-known titans who have the money and the market access to power a global electric car revolution quickly and decisively. Insane Mode started off as a feature on the dual-motor Tesla Model S, which gave the car Ferrari-like acceleration, but it's also the perfect description of the operating cycle of a company that has sworn it won't rest until every car on the road is electric. Here is a story about the very best kind of American ingenuity and its history-making potential. Buckle up!

Book Description
In the 1970s, as car enthusiasts in the U.S. grew bored with models manufactured under tightening pollution and safety regulations, some innovative dealers exploited a legal loophole--designed to allow U.S. soldiers and diplomats to return from abroad with their vehicles--to import exotic cars never intended for sale in America. During the 1980s, a rise in the value of the dollar made car shopping in Europe a bargain hunter's dream. A network of unauthorized "gray market" importers and conversion shops emerged, bypassing factory channels and retrofitting cars to meet U.S. regulations and emission standards--at least in theory. These cars had to pass through U.S. customs, a system equipped to handle only a few independent imports annually. As applications ballooned, the regulatory system collapsed. This is the story of a misunderstood but fascinating period in the automotive industry, when creative importers found ways to put American motorists in new Ferraris while the EPA and DOT were backed up with mounds of paperwork.
