Praise for Slow Car Fast:
“At 69 years old and a life-long car guy, I thought I had a pretty good handle on car culture. Your book opened my eyes.”
“ZumMallen artfully blends his first hand experience, interviews, observations and in-depth research. Slow Car Fast is a well written, easy read which packs a ton of content into 200 pages.”
“I enjoyed ZumMallen’s liquid writing and detailed research, especially the chapter dedicated to the BMW E30 M3. Gearheads rejoice!”
