4.0 out of 5 stars Deep and thorough, but based on readings of Hot Rod magazine, October 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Driving Ambitions: An Analysis of the American Hot Rod Enthusiasm (International Studies in the History of Sport) (Hardcover)
This is a really deep look at the birth and rise of hot rodding as a hobby and, eventually, business in the United States. I recommend it to anyone interested in the hot rod subculture. My ONLY complaint is that it is based entirely on "Hot Rod Magazine", and learning about hot rodding by reading "Hot Rod" is a little like trying to learn about women by reading "Playboy": the images shown and topics discussed are determined by the magazine editors, based on financial (advertising and circulation) concerns, and therefore may not represent what is really going on in our culture. It does, however, stick a pin in Hot Rod's relentless self-congratulation.
