Red Green

If you loved the TV show Red Green, you will like Red Green talks cars : a love story. Written by show creators Steve Smith (Red Green) and Rick Green (Bob), there are sections on car care and safety tips (or should I say car neglect and how to get hurt in 20 easy steps), vacations with cars (try stuffing 8 or more in the Possum van), auto-biographies, and the Possum Lodge song book. Lest you want to take the book seriously, the very first page has a word of caution from Bernice, Red’s show more long suffering wife, about not using any of the suggestions or making the projects in the book. In fact, don’t read the book at all. But you would miss so much if you put it down – how to improve your gas mileage by using a gas siphon, doing your own car maintenance using the handyman’s secret weapon: duct tape, what to do in case of accident and many hilarious handyman corner projects. Our Possum Lodge favorites are represented: Harold, Winston Rothschild II of Rothschild’s Sewage and Septic Sucking Services, Mike Hammar, Dougie Franklin, and Dalton Humphrey. Try doing the crossword puzzle by Old Man Sedgewick with clues like My Dad’s name and Where I lost my hat once. And the Possum Lodge traffic bylaws are a hoot. You won’t learn anything practical about cars and driving but you will laugh along with the Possum Lodge gang. Now that the show is off the air, this is the next best thing. Enjoy! show less

I liked it, but it would probably be better as an audio book red by Red Green than as an eBook. I'd just feel like it would be more like he's pulling for us and we are all in it together.

Otherwise, some good one-liners (though like any good old-fogey his one-liners are longer than one-line).

A hilarious, and yet at times often actually helpful, guide to... well... everything. Technology, to household repairs, to UFO sightings, to raising your children.(the last two should not be confused)This book covers all facets of life that the urban or rural red neck may need advice for. Also makes an excellent bathroom reader for those possessing education past grade five. And, an inducer of laughter to aid bathroom activities.

If you are a Red Green Show fan, this is fun stuff. It reads somewhat like Dave Barry with less sarcasm and exaggeration.
