He test-drives the car to see if he likes it. After test-driving the car, he buys it and shares it with family and friends.
A legend in the car industry reveals the philosophy that's starting to turn General Motors around. In 2001, General Motors hired Bob Lutz out of retirement with a mandate to save the company by making great cars again. He launched a war against penny pinching, office politics, turf wars, and risk avoidance. After declaring bankruptcy during the recession of 2008, GM is back on track thanks to its embrace of Lutz's philosophy. When Lutz got into the auto business in the early sixties, CEOs knew that if you captured the public's imagination with great cars, the money would follow. The car guys held sway, and GM dominated with bold, creative leadership and iconic brands like Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, GMC, and Chevrolet. But then GM's leadership began to put their faith in analysis, determined to eliminate the "waste" and "personality worship" of the bygone creative leaders. Management got too smart for its own good. With the bean counters firmly in charge, carmakers (and much of American industry) lost their single-minded focus on product excellence. Decline followed. Lutz's commonsense lessons (with a generous helping of fascinating anecdotes) will inspire readers at any company facing the bean counter analysis-paralysis menace.
Cars of all shapes, colors, and sizes--including an igloo ice-fueled polar car and an eco-friendly car that runs on air--are presented in illustrations and rhyme.

Seven essays celebrating the beauty of the imperfect marriage. We hear plenty about whether or not to get married, but much less about what it takes to stay married. Clichés around marriage—eternal bliss, domestic harmony, soul mates—leave out the real stuff. After marriage you may still want to sleep with other people. Sometimes your partner will bore the hell out of you. And when stuck paying for your spouse’s mistakes, you might miss being single. In Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give, Ada Calhoun presents an unflinching but also loving portrait of her own marriage, opening a long-overdue conversation about the institution as it truly is: not the happy ending of a love story or a relic doomed by high divorce rates, but the beginning of a challenging new chapter of which “the first twenty years are the hardest.” Calhoun’s funny, poignant personal essays explore the bedrooms of modern coupledom for a nuanced discussion of infidelity, existential anxiety, and the many other obstacles to staying together. Both realistic and openhearted, Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give offers a refreshing new way to think about marriage as a brave, tough, creative decision to stay with another person for the rest of your life. “What a burden,” Calhoun calls marriage, “and what a gift.”
What makes a person successful? Robert C. Birks tells the story of two boys who were high achievers. What made them this way? Did it matter that their father had a 4th grade education and their mother had a 10th grade education? These parents gave their sons a better life teaching them how to save money, spend it and be a friend. Every part of Carl and Robert’s lives—grooming, dressing, or performing in school--was accompanied by their parents’ support. Carl and Robert were committed to success. Robert recalls adventures on a family friend’s farm, working for the Detroit Free Press competing to sell the most subscriptions, and resourcefully getting through a tricky lab at Meharry. He talks of cutting back on food to save enough to pay a bill. There would be setbacks and obstacles, but they were steadfast in their commitment to succeed. Robert remembers incidents that tried his commitment. Medical schools did not accept Black students. Resisting anger, he opted for showing his ability to learn medicine, treat patients, perform surgery, teach interns, and manage a busy city ER. He did these while joining the army, getting married, and having three children. Success cannot happen without integrity. Success is not about cheating or taking shortcuts. Memories of Robert’s feelings for his dogs, students, coworkers, parents, aunts and uncles, “big” brother, friends, and wife build a legacy based on integrity and grit.
