A Gearhead's Anthology
Political satirist P. J. O'Rourke offers up a tribute to America's love affair with the car in his latest -- now here's a hefty title for you --
Driving Like Crazy : Thirty Years of Vehicular Hellbending, Celebrating America the Way It's Supposed to Be-- With an Oil Well in Every Backyard, a Cadillac Escalade in every carport, and the... Federal Reserve Bank Mowing Our Lawn...
In his early career, O'Rourke contributed to National Lampoon; his later essays have appeared in a variety of publications including The American Spectator, Atlantic Monthly, Car and Driver, and Rolling Stone. O'Rourke's point of view blends conservative and libertarian ideas with buckets of irreverent humor. Very funny guy even if you tend to be more liberal.
