Sheesh, talk about pigeonholing actors into a genre, you folks are beingway to hard on the brothers here. Why are you upset that they think aboutother things besides cars? I guess they have a life and youdon't.Incidently, I really did enjoy this book, lame jokes and all. If Iwant to hear their opinions on Ford Explorer transmissions and Chevy beinga rock, I'll turn up my public radio station and kick back. Or pick up oneof their other books that focus more on their "car show."
THISbook is something different -- it is part autobiography part politicalessay. It is a witty, intelligent take on life (from two different pointsof view, two for the price of one! Where else do you get a deal like that?)and the problems we face in America today. AND what to do about them. Theycover the predictable traffic laws of course, but also education andHollywood violence. And they even have the guts to disagree with eachother! Great book for the college student trying to find topics for aposition paper...
I recommend this book heartily, for anyone who isinterested in what really makes the Tappet brothers click and clack.
