I'll pick it up today - I love that series.
Here's another great book for us gearheads - more FB though - "Corvette Fuel Injection and electronic engine management" by Charles O Probst. Got it from Amazon - excellent sections on PCM, Fuel injection and all of the engine management components.

Who has time to read? I love to read, and like to in the evenings. By the time I settle in with the book, I read a few pages, then fall asleep!
I guess it's different for Scott and others who are on the road alot, it will fill time away from home.
Thanks for the tip!

I heard a radio interview with Stossel while he was promoting the book. I like his style.

I read a good part of that in the book store - I've been meaning to pick it up so that I can finish it. He has some very good insights into the effects government regulation is having on our lives.

I got the book at BJ's (I wonder if that's when they scammed my credit card number?) and have read about 80% of it so far. Damn, that man has some good points about our government and how the over-regulation screws us.
