THE $900 HONDA

About the Book

"THE $900 HONDA" is one man´s personal odyssey through America, driven in a worn-out Honda Civic with over 130,000 miles on it, and camping out in a one-man igloo tent. Beginning in late Fall, the odyssey travels through Canada, New England, the South to Key West, Memphis, then west. Yet, the book is more than a travel tale. It is about cars, and the history of the automobile in America, and about cars the writer has owned and what went on in the world, and with him, while he owned them. With 47 photos.
