Man & His Car, A: Iconic Cars and Stories from the Men Who Love Them: 2 (A Man & His)

Product Information

I have a small confession to make, I actually talk to my car and tell it how I feel and express how much I appreciate her standing by me when I needed her the most, which helped me become more expressive in other areas of my life, especially with my wife. I'm not really big into the whole idea of having Batman looking like he's got great big ripping muscles. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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.

One of those books that’s so nicely made you feel like you have to review it every so often, can’t just leave it on the shelf. Filled with stunning photographs of the whole cars and of the exquisite details that make car lovers' hearts beat just a little faster, as well as more than 80 personal stories, it's a joy for every reader who knows that a car is never just a car. Franz von Holzhausen, chief designer at Tesla, who worked hand in hand with Elon Musk to design the Tesla Model S prototype, says that his love of cars started when he was two (as evidenced by a picture of him sitting in a high chair drawing a car). Shifting gears from his degree in physical geography, Viju Mathew has spent the last decade covering most categories of the luxury market prior to becoming Robb Report's automotive editor.

I think most women would agree that a great deal of men have allot of trouble identifying and verbalizing their emotions. 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. People are attracted to a possible mate in any species, which includes characteristics of fitness (to create a healthy offspring), physical symmetry (to create a good-looking offspring) and financial status (protection and providing for the offspring). Filled with stunning photographs of the whole cars and of the exquisite details that make car lovers hearts beat just a little faster, as well as more than 80 personal stories, its a joy for every reader who knows that a car is never just a car. We hope you love your Banyan Tree purchase, however, we understand if you change your mind when it arrives or if the piece doesn't quite fit as you hoped!

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. I find it funny that they sculpt muscles and nipples into the suit, I mean if Batman is a real person, then he's very vain to do that XD. If you have watched a couple of car movies, you’ve probably noticed that most of them are male-oriented. Of course, I loved Ferrari and American Muscle, but it was the 911, the Porsche, that somehow just excited the car guy in me. My Merc was with me when I landed my first job as a mechanical engineer in Davenport, IA, it weathered snow and sandstorms without ever letting me down, and it was with me when DarTec entered into partnership with SABIC-Nusaned Investment; only the 2nd largest company in Saudi Arabia ( SABIC unit invests in reverse engineering firm | Arab News).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. 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. 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. Dare I say that it’s no wonder that “Sexy” cars with smooth aerodynamic curves tend to attract more attention from both men and women. Cars are an Extension of a Man’s Manhood: While most ladies tend to dress to impress, men often drive to impress!
