What You Get In This Book
- Twenty years of essays, feature stories, and columns from an internationally beloved car writer
- A voice published in Esquire, The New York Times, and Wired
- A behind-the-scenes look at a globetrotting dream job

Some More Stuff You Get
New writing never seen anywhere else! A truly staggering amount of self-deprecation! At least one harebrained dog who runs from squirrels! And, last but not least, a picture of a BMW mechanic in a full-body unicorn suit and holding a raw chicken! Which is, we promise, relevant!
(Though that’s mostly because of the chicken.)
