A life in cars—told one ride at a time.
In Cars That Drove Me, one man looks back at a lifetime of vehicles—not as status symbols or machines, but as companions, teachers, and occasional sources of comic frustration.
Each chapter introduces a different car, from a 1930 Ford Model A to a 1966 Corvette Convertible, and pairs heartfelt stories with mechanical insight and historical perspective. Sidebars on technical innovations—from hydraulic brakes to airbags—enrich the journey for gearheads, while the author's warm, nostalgic voice and often self-deprecating humor make this a joy for any reader who's ever formed a bond with a machine.
Blending technical tidbits with personal anecdotes, this book invites readers into the garage and under the hood, but never loses sight of the human moments that make the journey matter. From learning to drive as a child to courting his future wife with a $15 Plymouth, the author shows how cars aren't just transportation—they're memory machines.
Perfect for car lovers, nostalgia seekers, and anyone who’s ever had a favorite ride.
