The Way of the Beetle
A Mechanics Pre-License Discovery of His Self
Early reviews say:
"Joining the young intrepid on his journey toward heroism leads the reader
to yearn for the feel of drop forged stainless in his hand, while he
dreams."
" Reading The Way of The Beetle will have you looking at your own choice of
ride. As a barrier to understanding."
"The Way of the Beetle took me to the next level. I now have a Type 2 in the
shop.
Together we are discovering new ways to generate sufficient power which will
take me to places I was previously unaware of, like Vanagon and
WETWESTIES.
I have begun to dream new dreams of arriving self contained. Seeking only to
gain further understanding of what interrupts spark, fuel or power. The only
barriers to our continence."

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
