Motor Oil For A Car Guy's Soul, Volume II

The first volume of Motor Oil For a Car Guy’s Soul was published in 2004. The selection of essays and columns by automotive journalist and writer, Kevin Clemens, was an immediate success, receiving critical acclaim from automotive enthusiasts and glowing reviews in leading car magazines. In fact, the book was awarded the 2005 Ken Purdy Award for Excellence in Automotive Journalism by the International Motor Press Association.

Beyond all of the recognition and accolades, the first Motor Oil book also struck a chord with several generations of automotive enthusiasts. Car guys of either gender found that the stories and observations recorded in Clemens’ book closely mirrored their own experiences.

The only real problem with the first volume of Motor Oil For a Car Guy’s Soul was the stories that had been left out. From the start it was clear that a second volume was needed to handle the car guy stories, essays and anecdotes. Motor Oil For a Car Guy’s Soul Volume II, more selected essays by Kevin Clemens carries on from the first volume with stunning insights, tall tales, thoughtful observations, exciting adventures and even some automotive fiction.

Kevin Clemens, award winning author and adventurer, has driven north of the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter, across the searing deserts of China in the heat of summer, through the perils of the republics of the former Soviet Union, over treacherous roads in the Andes Mountains, in forty-one countries and all fifty states.
