During the twelve-day trip, he finds that what began as a story of man-versus-machine turns into something else entirely--a story of the kindness of strangers, and how doors sometimes open exactly when you need them to. \"Rob Siegel is a writer with the mind of a mechanic and a mechanic with the mind of a writer. He's also an old-school romantic of the best kind, and one of the few people who understands what car culture really means to the people invested in it-free of stereotype, clich , or pat sentiments you've read a thousand times before. Like all of his writing, Ran When Parked focuses heavily on the why behind the hobby. It's a mix of casual, long-form blog entry; detailed how-to; and emotive confessional; most of all, he seems to believe the world would be a better place if everyone else followed on his crazy path and devoted their free time to resurrecting old iron. He's right.\" -Sam Smith Editor at Large, Road \u0026amp; Track\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Siegel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 099895070X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998950709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hack Mechanic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.43d","brand":"Rob Siegel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986788352255,"sku":"9780998950709","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e00ee84b-5248-4f15-87e8-fe68245ed450.jpg?v=1683285193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ran-when-parked-rob-siegel-9780998950709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
