general information about cars

discussions such as ticket jeopardy , four prices of a new car,when and how to buy cars........little technical information, however, if a woman is on her own and has no knowledge of how to buy a car this would be a good book to read.

Understand and converse about cars easily!

I got this book from my local library and soon decided it MUST be added to my collection. A great reference book, "Everything Women Always Wanted to Know about Cars..." speaks to women plainly and frankly without making us seem "stupid" or "girlie". There are pictures and diagrams of under the hood shots showing what the parts are called and where they usually reside. The author tackles the area of car buying and how salesmen relate to female buyers, what tricks they use, how society in general feels about women who drive. There are quotes from real women about how they feel about and in their cars, what cars they like the most, what a car represents to them, how cars aren't just for guys anymore! Some women name their cars and love to joyride; some women take on mechanical areas with ease and great interest. Women tell it like it is on everything from what a car says about its driver to how to get men to take you seriously when buying, selling, dealing with mechanics etc. This book covers just about everything you need to know (hence the accurate title!) as a woman and a driver. It answers the questions you just felt too insecure to ask your father, brother or boyfriend about cars. The colors and organization are attractive but not "too feminine" and the author presents not only a woman's perspective of the automotive world, but lots of technical terms and information as well. You are going to understand cars and be able to hold your own in conversations about cars after you read this book! I have searched far and wide for a book such as this and it's a one of a kind find, an absolute GEM!
