Roger Made Me Do It by Zukusky, Ed | Paperback | Transportation

This is a humorous, irreverent, no holds barred, look at the classic car hobby and the people that inhabit the world of classic cars. You don't need to be a classic car owner to enjoy this book. You just need a sense of humor and some compassion/pity for a guy that had no a clue as to what he was getting into. It is a true story, heavily laced with the humor, satire and exaggeration that helped me survive it. This is my warped view of the world of classic cars.

After 10 years, and some 10,000 miles of driving a 40+ year old car up and down the West Coast of Florida to hundreds of car shows, I have written a book about this hobby/passion of mine. This hobby saved my life. I went from being miserably retired, to miserably trying to restore a classic car. But I lived through it, barely at times, and was able to eventually get my car into National Magazines, and to display it at National Car Shows.

This is the story of my INSANE JOURNEY through the world of classic cars. It BEGINS with my uneventful, boring retirement. It QUICKLY LEAPS FORWARD into the madness of my buying a classic car. Then RAPIDLY SPIRALS DOWNWARD in my attempt to restore that car. It GLARINGLY HIGHLIGHTS my head-on collisions with the classic car community and its residents, while PAINFULLY DETAILING my ongoing trials as I travel this never-ending bumpy road. It is a mostly true story line heavily spiced with exaggeration, satire and humor.

FOLLOW the author as he crashes headfirst into a world he doesnt understand, and that doesnt understand him. MEET the All-Knowing Roger, the Doing You Checkout Lady, The Man, Classic Car Guy, the Skunk Ape, and Bambi. LEARN about Oreos as a weapon, baking soda blasting and changing underwear. TRAVEL through the backcountry, and fear for your life in Twitsville. CONFRONT snakes on the wall, rampaging TWITs, the Curse of the Beast and Hit on the Rich Guy Women.

WELCOME to an outsiders wild journey through The World of Classic Cars. An irreverent and fun look at the Classic Car hobby.
