review 1: You have heard of a book you cannot put down? This is one you CAN put down.I thought I would go waaaay off course for my reading taste and try it. I suspect if you are a gearhead it might be something to read. It was an interesting choice after reading Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion. This culture is part of what he was ranting about. Maybe it's a generational thing. I don't know. I found it uninteresting and unfunny.
review 2: I have enjoyed O'Rourke since I first found his writing in Rolling Stone Magazine back in College. This book is a collection of articles written for various sources (PJ has written for lots of different publications) that relate to Vehicles and O'Rourke's love of them which makes it a little disjointed but still entertaining. New... more commentary to relate the older articles to his current point in life and Libertarian point of view I found myself laughing out loud at the authors wry commentary Americans relationship with the Automobile (and motorcycle). less
