By P.J. O'Rourke
O'Rourke takes us on a look back at some of his writings about cars. Topics include "How To Drive Fast On Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed And Not Spill Your Drink", which appeared in the NATIONAL LAMPOON, and essays about the Baja 1000, Nascar, Rent-a-Wreck and the California Mille and also about various cars he has owned or test driven.
Although often amusing (as per usual) at times, especially on the second essay about the Baja, which was one Baja essay too many, and when he starts talking car talk about specs and such, I found it rough going.
Still O'Rourke can be pretty fun to read even if I don't agree with his politics. Well, you don't have to like him or even agree with most of what he spouts to still get a chuckle reading him. So even though I found a few parts of the book a bit much, overall I liked it and enjoyed it.
