[92 mtechnic cabrio]

Check it out guys, my friend David finally got his "Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies" book released, he turned the copy in about four months ago, and only now has it been released.

I bought a copy out of friendly support, it's got some pretty useful information.

Maybe you guys could take a look at it, I think its just cool I personally know an author of one of these books

Here it is:

Thanks for the introduction, Jon.

I have been lurking here for some time, and am happy to now begin contributing to some online discussions. For some reason, I thought it important to first have some pics of my daily driver BMW available online, and as of tonight, I now have those:

Dummies book update.

For those of you who have received your Car Hacks and Mods for Dummies books, please post your impressions so that others know what to expect. It would be especially helpful to have some reviews posted on Amazon.com since many people start their when looking for info on new titles.

For those of you who have not yet ordered, as of this morning (10/17/04), Amazon is down to the last 5 copies of their initial shipment, so if you don't want to wait for them to re-order, grab them while they are in stock.

One final note: For those of you not seeing it on store shelves locally, please let the store managers know that there is a demand for books like this. If they don't hear from customers, they won't order and will continue to stock Oprah books and similar exciting titles. On the other hand, if they think people will buy these if they have them on the shelf, they will order -- but they need to hear from us that we want them to stock titles like this.

You should revise a copy for the average Bimmerforums member. Less facts and info, and more DDE and I-forge

Bump for a kinda old thread but...

I was taking to this girl on AIM...

her : thanks! ah- I bought the best book the other day. see, I was getting all discouraged cause I've been reading up on cars in jeff's mags, and I would get all confused cause they asume you know all the parts and terms and stuff they use, and I don't, and I was like "I need a reference guide!!!" and jeff was just like "but I"m your reference guide" but that doesn't work cause he is not always at my beckon call, so dave said I should try and find a car book for dummies, and miracle of miracles, the lord has blessed me with "CAR HACKS AND MODS FOR DUMMIES"!!!! i am so pleased. I will be more knowledgable than the hippie.
btm4k : oh. my. crap.
btm4k : thats crazy

I thought that was funny. Good work David :P
