Everyone wants to know how can I make my car last forever? Well maybe not forever, but long enough until you want to buy that next car! I just finished reading a new book in publication, that explains how to do all that. The Title "How To Make Your car Last Forever" by Thomas Torbjornsen.
This is a book that is written in such a manner that experienced or beginners can read and understand very clearly. Although the book seems to cater to someone that knows very little about automobiles, it covers such a vast amount of material that it becomes somewhat of a bible. It is broken down into 3 sections.
The first called "Vehicular Systems" which gives you the basics of what makes up an automoble. The 2nd section goes over the "rules to follow that will make that car last". Finally in the 3rd section the author calls "Straight Talk" a discussion on Warranties, Repair or replace, and the final chapter on "How to kill a car" or things you should not be doing!
What I did find very different from most automotive books, is that within each chapter, the author has a question and answer section, "Driver Ask" where he lists some of the most common questions, that come up based on what was presented in the chapter.
Within each chapter there are illustrations and pictures, that reinforce the topics being explained. Just enough to keep the reader from getting lost in a mass of words, that helps get the point across.
The book is definitely a must for someone that wants to learn more about automobiles, and at the same time does not to be overwhelmed, with more information then they would need on "How To make Your Car last Forever"
