这本故事合集介绍了一百辆精致的车(和它们的主人),是献给汽车爱好者们的终极礼物。
《纽约时报》畅销作家,也是受欢迎的《华尔街日报》“我的座驾”专栏作者A.J. Baime选出了这一百辆汽车、摩托车以及其它车来填补你的梦想车库。
令人惊叹的摄影和Baime引人入胜的文章介绍了开车人对其座驾的喜爱之处——从技术规格到满足减速机再到无形资产,如车主与他或她的车的关系——使它真正成为了“我的座驾。”
This collection of stories profiling one hundred beautiful vehicles (and their owners) is the ultimate gift book for car lovers.
New York Times best-selling author and popular Wall Street Journal "My Ride" columnist A.J. Baime selects the one hundred cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles to fill the dream garage.
Stunning photography and Baime's engaging essays celebrate everything drivers love about their cars--from technical specifications to satisfy gearheads to intangibles like a driver's relationship with his or her car--making it truly "my ride."
You want fast? Step on the gas in a Koenigsegg CCX, '87 Lamborghini, or 1970 Pontiac GTO. You want classic? Here are the keys to a '62 Corvette, '57 Thunderbird, or 1930 BMW--the oldest Bimmer in the United States. You want cool? Take a '64 Shelby Cobra, Tesla Model X, or Aston Martin Vulcan for a spin. You want one-of-a-kind? How about a '52 Seagrave fire truck, '73 VW Thing, or the Batmobile?
You also get to meet the owners. There's the story of a pizza-delivery man who dodges polar bears in his Hyundai in Barrow, Alaska; an NBA star who endures Los Angeles traffic by having his Tesla drive for him; and a retired Kentucky entrepreneur with a 22-foot-long 1937 Cadillac, which he calls "the biggest, baddest car that could exist."
