PRE-ORDER: this book has 100 epic, TRUE, stories of amazing cars, people, races, and general shenanigans from the weird world of cars.

Want to hear about the only monkey to win a NASCAR race? Or how Porsche was beaten at Le Mans by a French guy driving his own car?

Well, buy the book and you can learn all about these and 95 other epic yarns. We’ve got 277mph street cars; racers who never existed; some of the best cheating you’ll ever hear of; capsule cars; off-road muscle cars; the time Rolls-Royce got schooled in how to make a luxury car; and so much more.
