Fenders, Fins & Friends

Every "car guy" has stories that elicit laughter, tears and admission of some bad choices.

Lance Lambert's "Fenders, Fins & Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy" includes tales of riding in a 1939 ford as the steering wheel was removed and handed to him. Installing a siren in a 1955 Ford proved to be a bad decision. Putting five friends as far back as possible in a rock band's van resulted in wheels stands and applause from admiring fans. Sitting in a 1949 Chevrolet while surrounded by five police cars and numerous guns pointed his direction caused some concern. "Fenders, Fins & Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy" reveals all that is good about the world of old cars and why being a Car Guy is the best way to enjoy life.
