5.0 out of 5 stars what a gas! this book is a riot !, September 3, 1999

By A Customer

I've been driving VW's since my teens but I'm thinking about investing in a Dragster after reading this book. So I'm exaggerating a little bit... but it's only because this book was so hysterical. I'm hoping the author has a few more books up her sleeve.

I loved this book. The author has a great sense of humor. I couldn't stop laughing and I even learned something too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read --- if you're a woman --or know one -- its fun., August 9, 1999

By A Customer

Didn't know a thing about auto racing nor did I want to . Someone gave this to me as a lark -- I loved it because it was fun and irreverent.
