Today he is the world's most popular DIY expert and car aficionado, and now he shares his story and expertise.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e People are fascinated by Tesla: the cars, the stock price, and especially its headline-grabbing CEO. Rich Benoit was the first YouTuber to pull back the curtain on the cultlike business model that is the Tesla company, and he's personally battled its consumer-unfriendly business practices. In \u003ci\u003eGoing Fast and Fixing Things\u003c\/i\u003e, Rich provides readers with behind-the-scenes access not only to his Rich Rebuilds YouTube channel but to his off-camera life as well. Throughout his life, Rich has almost always been the proverbial \"only Black guy in the room,\" but despite the fact that online car culture--especially electric vehicle fandom--skews overwhelmingly white, he has become the most popular car rebuilding guy on the internet. His voice on the page is funny and intimate and a little goofy--just like his video persona--but always tempered by a clear determination to create success for himself as well as for his fans. \u003ci\u003eGoing Fast and Fixing Things\u003c\/i\u003e also includes tips to help readers fix, drive, and buy their own cars, along with advice on how to defy the disposable-is-better consumerist ethos that saturates our current culture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rich Benoit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306832216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306832215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hachette Go\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2024","brand":"Rich Benoit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44809730228479,"sku":"9780306832215","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee020510-0df7-4413-8c65-9011cae55974.jpg?v=1707927319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/going-fast-and-fixing-things-rich-benoit-9780306832215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
