Schuyler Bagwell

Opis

Ride shotgun in nineteen different cars and trucks as Schuyler Bagwell takes you on a series of calamitous misadventures and meanders across these great United States. From growing up on a California kiwi farm, to surviving in the Utah desert for three months, to falling in love in rainy Seattle, and chasing an insatiable wanderlust down the Eastern Seaboard, "Conveyance" is the mostly true stories of a car guy and his obsession with all things automotive. Sometimes satire and sometimes soap opera, "Conveyance" is nothing if not entertaining.
In his debut book, Schuyler Bagwell shows how cars are much more than just a way of getting from Point A to Point B. Every car ever made - from an Alfa Romeo to a Yugo - has a distinct personality, and every mile on the odometer tells its own unique story.
Why are cars such an extension of our identity? What is it about zooming off into the endless horizon that makes us feel free? Why is the fastest car in the world always found on the Hertz rental lot? Find the answers to these questions and many more in "Conveyance."
