You’re either a gearhead, or you know one. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, planes, tractors, trains — they all fascinate gearheads. Eventually, even a dedicated gearhead has to get out of the garage and experience the world. This book, written by an unrepentant gearhead, explores and enumerates 100 experiences, journeys and challenges that will feed and nurture every reader’s inner gearhead. From great car museums and collections to stunt driving lessons, from dirt track races to high speed ovals, from factory tours to hands-on wrenching, 100 Things for Gearheads to Do Before They Die will inspire, guide and delight anyone who believes that machinery can be art. Part travel guide, part inspiration, part meditation and part fun, this book is for the gearhead and for anyone who wants to understand their local gearhead. Bonus: Includes portraits and interviews with several famous gearheads about their favorite destinations and activities, and how they became fascinated with the mechanical world.
