Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was looking for a simple, "how to" book to give to my teen aged grandson in order to help him be a better, safer car owner.
I have been the resident car expert most of my adult life. As a former automobile dealer, race car driver, race car builder and currently a racing instructor (part-time) for the National Auto Sport Assn. (NASA), I am used to being called upon for any and all questions pertaining to cars. Fortunately, the love affair with these machines still burns brightly and I enjoy the questions and discussions. Unfortunately, the car loving genes did not pass on to my Grandson or my Daughter. His "car smarts" consists of starting the motor and driving. Bright though he is, he has not learned to buy gas, wash the heap or even lock the doors. When it breaks, he calls for his mom or me. I live in another city and can only advise him by long distance.
I thought, "maybe if the kid knew a little more about cars and understood a little preventative maintenance, the heap might run with a little more regularity. I finally choose "Car Smarts" because it was simple yet comprehensive but entertaining and funny, thus a better chance that I might coerce him to actually read it. Guess what? I ended up reading it cover to cover and I enjoyed it more that I imagined. There were actually a couple of points that I actually learned myself. Who would have believed? This book should be mandatory reading for every drivers license applicant in the US. I would recommend it a textbook for a high school Drivers Ed course. Five stars to mary Jackson. Don Sutton
