Abstract
Every angle a general physics philosopher would consider about a car is covered in this book: Thermo, drag, slip, electrochemistry, collision, kinetics, even a little chaos. The antidote to those "way things work" books that merely show diagrams of parts, as if being able to name all the components of a car had anything to do with the "how."
