A must read book for new, or soon to be drivers!

It's been twenty years since I read this book and I still remember the ending so clearly it scares me. The story is dated, but has many valuable lessons.
A real kick in the head for a wild teenager!

I first found the book among some of my fathers' things and well, I just couldn't put it down. I just finished it and what a book! The story of a 17 yr. old building his own Rod, which was his companion, friend, and enemy. Just him and his ride. Sounds a little like myself. The main character finds the rules of life the only way, the hard way.
A Lasting Impression!

I First read "Hot Rod" in the library of the USS Princeton back in 1958. I have never forgotten the story and have waited all these years for someone in Hollywood to wake up and make a screen version of this great novel..JR
A must for any young driver!

It has been many years since I read this book as a teenager. It made an impression on me such that I still remember it after over 40 years! Now with my grandson driving my thoughts came back to this book and was pleased to find it listed - now hope I can get a copy for him! I VERY much recomend it for any young person just going "car crazy"!
Lasting Impression!

I read this book in 1975 when I was just getting into muscle cars. It made an impression on me. I have always longed to build a car from scratch. This book made a dream seem within reach for for me when I didn't have much cash. I am presently helping my son restore a 1966 Mustang.
