"I think this book is really neat. One reason I really like it is that I have always liked fixing stuff, especially vehicles. I feel this book really helps you because you get ideas of how to fix up the insides of your own car with other people's junk and then they can sell it for cheap. That's what I like, because there are so many different people in this world, and some of them have more experience than others. The ideas are really good."
