OREWORD

I love carsalwa ys h ave and alwa ys w ill. I lov e eve rything about cars: the roaring nois e, the oily smell, but mostly the sheer

joy of mo ving thr ough the w orld a t speed. Cars ar e all shine on t op and grime below they re basically metal babies.

The best thing for me when I starte d out on the comedy cir cuit w as taking long road trips . I lov ed ev ery minute

of driving distances with friends and making ne w friends along the w ay. As my succe ss as a stand-up gre w, Iv e alw ays

invested my time, money , and energy in carsfr om the v ery rs t VW bus I could affo rd thr ough a to n of muscle cars to

the buses in my ev er-gro wing co llection. I see cars as true wo rks of art for the people.

I guess a lot of my passion fo r cars, like f or many of us, came fr om pla yin g with Hot Wheels cars as a little kid. The

only thing that has chang ed for me is tha t the cars ha ve g otten bigge r and my collection has gr own n ow tha t Im a bigg er

(yup,

er) kid. So it w as a hug e thrill for m e to be a judge on the la test Ho t Wheels Legends T o ur and witness the

coolest car ther e get in ducted into the fa mous Hot Wheels Garag e of Legends. All the cr eativi ty , range, a nd artistry of

the vehicle designs on displa y h ere mak e this book so mething real ly , really c ool for kids of any age.
