Motion Performance: Tales of a Muscle Car Builder
I enjoyed this book.
It was a pleasant journey back to when life and cars were allot simpler and enjoyable.
The pictures and insider look at the high performance car biz and the angles Joel Rosen employed were to sell his products were entertaining.
It was a great read for someone who lived during that era and remembers cars that defied logic but defined a period in time where excess was not enough.
Editorial Review :: It was a driver's dream: Along with the full factory warranty, your car came with a guarantee of 11.5-second quarter-mile times. It was also Joel Rosen's dream, and in 1964, he set out to make it a reality. First he built fast cars. Then, taking a page from Ford's "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" strategy, he built a reputation by beating all comers on drag strips and in street races. By 1967, Rosen's Motion Performance was the place to go if you wanted a true muscle car--and, if you ordered a Baldwin-Motion Chevrolet, a muscle car with a full factory warranty. Motion Performance tells the inside story of how it all happened. Brilliantly illustrated with period pictures and modern color photos, the book takes readers along as Cobras, Chevrolets, Oldsmobiles, even Volkswagen Beetles roll into the shop to get torn down and rebuilt into cars unbeatable on the streets and drag strips. Marty Schorr gives a first-hand account of seven years of high-performance life--and of how it all came to a screeching halt at the hands of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency. A once-in-a-lifetime tale of power and speed, told by one of the principals who put that performance within reach, Motion Performance makes the story of a briefly and thrillingly lived dream available to everyone.

Baby Jogger Performance Single Car Seat Adapter
I installed this adapter onto a 2001 Baby Jogger II, after calling Baby Jogger and learning that they sell the same adapter kit for all of their recent jogging strollers with 20" wheels, regardless of actual product name. The adapter works very well with our Graco infant seat now that it is installed, but the installation was not a trivial effort. No only did the adapter come with no instructions, but the instruction PDF that I found on Baby Jogger's website is very vague and the pictures are almost worthless. Fortunately, I'm a tinkerer and quickly determined that the spacers on both the stroller and that came with this adapter were too big, so I just cut them down to size and found some extra washers in my toolbox. I had the adapter connected after about an hour of finding instructions, deciphering them, discarding them and, finally, doing my own thing.
Editorial Review :: The Single Infant Car Seat Adapter allows you to use your jogger as soon as you come home from the hospital. It fits most Graco and Evenflo car seats, and works with infant car seats that hold infants up to 20 lbs. and less than 26" tall.

Dream Machines (High Performance Cars) Art Poster Print - 24" X 36"
Editorial Review :: This poster shows a number of high performance cars, including the 2005 Porshe Carrera, 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, 2006 Chevy Corvette Z06, 2006 Aston Martin D89, 2005 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, 2006 Saleen S7, 2004 Ferrari Enzo, 2005 Bugatti Veyron, and 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago. This poster measures approx. 24" x 36" A dream machine, or supercar, is a term used for a high-end sports car, typically an exotic or rare one, whose performance is highly superior to that of its contemporaries. The proper application of the term is subjective and disputed, especially among enthusiasts. The use of the term is dependent on the era: a vehicle that is considered to be a supercar at one time may not retain its superiority in the future.
