Reviews
Classic & Sports Car (UK), December 2006 "A good mix of images accompany text that crams in the information without being heavy: we particularly liked accompanying panels listing the ideal soundtrack, perfect passenger and the best place to drive each car."   Shropshire Star (UK), Oct. 20, 2006 "Car nuts will love it."   Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Nov. 23, 2006 "Whether you agree with the selection of cars or not & you'll enjoy the brief thumbnail sketches and beautiful photography and reproduction of advertisements that run all through this book & A lot of it is tongue in cheek, of course, but always great fun. It's a blast to simply imagine yourself behind the wheel of some of these obscure, and not so obscure, cars and trucks."  , New York Times, Dec. 10, 2006 "Matt Stone, the executive editor of Motor Trend and Motor Trend Classic, and John Matras, an automotive journalist, have put together an exhaustive list of cars that an enthusiast should experience firsthand, or at least vicariously ... The selections are far-ranging and nicely illustrated, often with color photos, everything from the 1955 Chrysler C-300 and the 1962-63 Thunderbird M Sports Roadster to the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray and the 1954 Porsche 550 Spyder ... In all, 365 Cars You Must Drive is fun to read, a tasty automotive snack delivered in bite-size daily servings."                                                                                                                                                                      Musclecar Enthusiast, December 2006 "The pithy comments which accompany each profile make the book well worth its modest $20 cover price."   New Zealand Driver, Fall 2006 "God this is a great book. In fact, it's a Great Book, so GREAT that I wish I had had the idea first & It's a book that is written concisely, with a great deal of wry humor and wisdom ... If you love cars you've got to have a copy of this and I guarantee that you will leave it lying around to come back to time after time after time & One of the best car books that's ever come my way!"                                                                                                                                                                        , Classic & Sports Car(UK), December 2006 "A good mix of images accompany text that crams in the information without being heavy: we particularly liked accompanying panels listing ideal soundtrack, perfect passenger and the best place to drive each car."   Shropshire Star(UK), Oct. 20, 2006 "Car nuts will love it."   Yorkshire Post(UK), Nov. 11, 2006 "This is an ideal 'browsing' book.", Classic & Sports Car (UK), December 2006 "A good mix of images accompany text that crams in the information without being heavy: we particularly liked accompanying panels listing the ideal soundtrack, perfect passenger and the best place to drive each car."

Synopsis
What began as a solution for transportation has evolved into a desire for speed, luxury, personal expression, and freedom. For many, the thrill of the drive has eclipsed the pure utility of the automobile. And the pursuit of that thrill is the driving force behind 365 Cars You Must Drive . From the Ford Model T to the Porsche Carrera GT, there are certain cars that any self-respecting auto enthusiast just has to know--and experience from the driver's seat. With homage to the greatest cars and good-natured mockery of the strangest, authors Matt Stone and John Matras detail which cars to drive and why, how to get behind the wheel, where to drive them, and who to invite along for the ride. Each entry contains a colorful spec box noting the car's claim to fame, a Did You Know? factoid, the author's clever suggestions for "The Perfect Passenger" and the "Soundtrack" coming out of the speakers, Behind the Wheel notes, and a "Perfect Drive" for the marque or model covered. Engine details, production information, the price when it debuted and the collectible price now - all of it adds up to at-a-glance fun reading to go with informative essays on each car, archival and full-color photos, and more.
