| | | | | | | MOTORBOOKS BLOG |  Who doesn't have a strong emotional connection to their first set of wheels? In My First Car, author Matt Stone shares Guy Fieri's story of, well, his first car: I knew I wanted to get a car but was never really comfortable with the whole idea of a car payment, so I saved and saved my money until I finally had made enough to buy the car-what I thought was going to be the car. And my buddy Johnny was selling his 280Z, and that was just way beyond the realm of what I thought I would ever get. I figured I'd just end up with an old pickup truck or something. So here I am, going to get this 1976 brown metallic 280Z fivespeed, cherry condition, owned by an old man, and my buddy Johnny bought it. Johnny put no miles on it. Johnny only had it for six months. And there I go! This was going to be it, baby! Johnny was onto another car; he was always into different cars. So Johnny had the car and we started talking about a price, and I wanted to give him $3,000 and he wants $3,500 or whatever. And we go back and forth, so the deal's not going to happen. "So my dad says, 'Did you get the car?' I said, 'No, he wants $3,500. I only have $3,000.' My dad's like, 'So, get a loan. Make payments.' I said, 'Oh, I don't want any payments. I don't want that thing over my head.' |

Our Favorite New Title for July
The Ducati isn't an American-made bike, but international influence is one of the things that has made this country great. And this book is fantastic! In The Art of Ducati, Ducati expert Ian Falloon teams with renowned photographer James Mann to present a gorgeously illustrated, wonderfully curated review of more than six decades of Ducati excitement, from the single-cylinder bikes of the 1950s and 1960s to the bevel-drive twins of the 1970s and early 1980s to the high-performance bikes of the 21st century. While there's no end in sight for Ducati's growth,this book pays homage to its past six-plus decades of masterful motorcycle engineering. |
