About this deal

The packaging that encases a possible prince charming is one of the first things women notice about a man because it tells her about what she can expect from him. I would go to car shows and concours, and meet people on the street or run in to a neighbor, but I had to be interested in the car first, and then be captivated by the story. Some people think of cars as a mode of transportation that takes them from Point A to Point B, while others see things differently. This book had beautiful pictures of said automobiles, and even nicer short stories about what the car means for the person who owns them.

Des photos exquises de chaque voiture accompagnent chaque histoire, et comme les voitures contiennent naturellement plus de détails que les montres, il y aura plus de photos dans ce livre - de face, des ornements de capot et des roues, et bien sûr des photos de la carrosserie complète. Whether it's a Fiat Panda or a Porsche 911S, there are loads of great cars to see and even greater stories from their owners to read. NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, whose favourite cars are trucks-he loves the wow factor of an International CV Series 6. Kevin Costner révèle qu'il s'est tellement attaché à l'emblématique Shelby Mustang qu'il conduisait dans le film Bull Durham qu'il l'a achetée pour en faire sa collection personnelle.When I was a kid, the poster on my wall was a 911, probably a 930 whale-tail turbo because I was a kid of the 1980s. Even with a brand-new Beamer with an M3 kit that has all the bells and whistles, I still have so much love and affinity for my old Merc that I wasn’t expecting. When you go to and participate in a lot of classic car shows, as I do, you may end up getting a book like this as a gift, which I thankfully did haha.

With the work’s subsequent critical and commercial popularity, a follow-up publication was a foregone conclusion.Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Some are old (including a 1908 Ford Model S Roadster--my favorite), and some are newer (the Tesla Model S Prototype--gorgeous!

But car guys, they come out of the box with why they own it and how they chased it down all their life—they’ve been thinking about it for a very long time. Exquisite photos of each car accompany each story, and since cars naturally hold more detail than watches, there will be more photos in this book-of the cars head-on, of their hood ornaments and wheels, and of course full-body shots.From Ed Burns to Jay Leno, from Kevin Costner to Peter Mullin or Shaquille O’Neal, 40 different collectors give us their very personal view on why a car is never just a simple car. At the end of a year-and-a-half of schlepping it all over the world, I literally wanted to pour gasoline on it and burn it.

Like, if I wear a Submariner because I have a fantasy that I’m James Bond or I think that I’m a Navy Diver, or drive a Jaguar because I imagine that I’m Steve McQueen—those things are very much in the male psyche. Now, I’m not arguing that women can’t love their cars as much as men, instead, what I’m hypothesizing is that men are more likely to invest more than women in vehicles that are bigger, faster, and more powerful! For example, someone who drives a Mercedes-Benz will tend to be someone who is meticulous and has an eye for detail.

But to have the one that I dreamt about as a kid be sitting in my barn right now is terribly exciting to me. A Man His Car explores the personal connection between an eclectic mix of gentlemen and their cherished rides, from celebrities to collectors to the everyman who fell fast and hard for a certain four-wheeler.
