| How
I Picture You
In order
to make this book as relevant, readable, and enjoyable as
possible I envisioned it as a friendly conversation with the
kind of person I felt woul want to read it. Here's the mental
portrait of my readers that I kept in mind.
1 You're intelligent and may know a great deal about a lot
of things (law business, literature, medicine, and other nonautomotive
subjects), bu you need some help when it comes to cars.
2 You're tired of living as a "closet dummy" who
nods and smiles at the incomprehensible mutterings of your
mechanic, only to end up shellid out money for repairs that
you neither fully understand nor always need.
3 You've decided that it simply isn't worth the extra money
to have oth~ people do things for you that you can do yourself.
? You're tired of other people assuming (especially if you're
a teenager d a woman) that you aren't capable of handling
repairs yourself.
4 You're tired of feeling helpless in an emergency and want
to be able to troubleshoot and deal with breakdowns and accidents
so that you car~ cope with the unexpected.
5 You want to keep a good vehicle in good condition without
paying deai to have someone else do the maintenance, or you
simply want to keep your old heap running just a little longer
without spending a lot of money on it.
6 You either want the satisfaction of doing it yourself, or
you just want tc save a few bucks by not having to rely on
the whimsy of fate and the expertise of mechanics for every
little hiccup.
7 You want to maintain your vehicle without devoting every
weekend, weeknight, and spare lunch hour poring over the intricacies,
details, au mysteries of the internal combustion engine.
8 You've realized (I hope!) that a vehicle that runs inefficiently
because it's poorly maintained pollutes the environment, and
you want to do something to turn that around..
