Car Hacks and Mods for Dummies is OUT

DavidV formerly of WORKS fame has his book entitled "Car Hacks and Mods for Dummies" out in the wild and released to the general populous. This book has info that pertains to any car, but thankfully has information on our beloved Evos, with info on reflashes (the P2 is in there), piggy backs (the ChipTorque - Vishnu/Aquamist Xede for instance), various stand alones, cams, etc. Perfect for car n00bs like myself.

Congrats go out to DavidV for getting his book out!

Tell me when and where, and I'll come sign it. It can be like ordering pizza, I'll show up within 20 minutes with a signed book and a side order of cheesy bread.

But seriously, writing a nearly 400 page book was quite the project, and it is very exciting to see that it is now shipping to stores around the world. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders will all be carrying it. Order now while supplies last! LOL

Nice. Congrats david. You have my sympathy. Finishing a technical book is incredibly hard -- especially for a single author.

Just ordered my copy!

Just ordered a copy on Amazon. They say the book isn't out yet, but preorders are 15.95 plus shipping. Paid a grand total of $19.19 with 2-3 day shipping.
