"Authors Matt Stone and Preston Lerner are seasoned automotive
writers and the book reads with the insider intrigue of two scribes
talking to friends over beers." - San Diego Union Tribune "...
chock-full of amusing car-related trivia and miscellany - perfect
for dipping onto on drowsy, cloudy winter afternoons." - Detroit
News "The answers are here, one question and answer per chapter.
Authors Stone and Lerner, both auto magazine writers, know how to
weave a compelling tale. Each chapter's brief length and
unconnected nature make this the perfect book to read, put down and
come back to. It's a guilty pleasure; one that's hard to put down
for good and is certainly my favorite book this year." - Boston
Herald
"Maybe you grew up liking the Ripleys' Believe it Or Not panels
that ran in your local paper's comic section. If so, the format and
content of this interesting exercise in debunking the past may
genuinely catch your interest... it's an entertaining read." -
Hemmings Motor News "A good deal of the fun here is in following
the authors' steps as they sought to prove or disprove the various
tales." - Auto Restorer "The topics are interesting; the research
is impressive, and the writing is clear and informative." - RV
Life
"... an interesting read...they weave entertaining stories of
vehicular crime, racing, moviemaking and various mishaps and
mayhem." - The New York Times
