5.0 out of 5 stars Just another great book from Egan, September 16, 2007

This review is from: Side Glances: The Best from America's Most Popular Automotive Writer (Hardcover)
Somehow, Egan talks about things I have also done or thought about, and uses just the right words to describe them...Amazing. Like the others in the series, these are repeats from Road and Track. Even though I have read most of them before, that does not diminish the joy I feel in reading them again (and again!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Side Glances, September 6, 2008

This review is from: Side Glances: The Best from America's Most Popular Automotive Writer (Hardcover)
A wonderful, easy read for Peter Egan fans and a must read for "car people". However, since I grew up in Northeastern Wisconsin, spent many days at road Amwerica,and lived in Madison for many years, my review of this book is not exactly impartial. I know of the places in the area Peter writes about in this book. Consequently, I am a devoted fan of his columns and features. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
