no such book would be of any possible help, because ...

a. no replacement parts available. anywhere. at any price.

b. no owner's manuals available for different models or years. except
this
   crap written in england by some doctor (with 'tips' by some woman
tv personality ...
   and we all know how 'normal' those two types are!)

c. used ones cost as much, if not more, than new ones.

d. maintenance costs are astronomical.

e. it costs you a thousand times more to get rid of one that it did to
acquire one!!! :(

f. if you're not careful, you can catch serious diseases when you
drive them.

g. if you're not really careful when driving, you can find miniature
versions hanging around, costing even more money!

h. they always claim they need repainting and new seat covers. and new
wheels and tires.
   and higher octane fuel. and washing and waxing.

i. they always leave the garage door down when you are in a hurry to
change your own oil.

j. takes a really looooong time to get 'em warmed up.

k. they make a LOT of noise when operating, like diesels. :)


but they do look nice when the weather is warm. ;)
