The island of Kauai (population 65,689), according to Yelp, only has two bookstores. One sells Christian books. Another, in the town of Hanapepe (population 2,153), sells used books. Guess where I got these four?
1. Future Classics (1991).
I question the wisdom of choosing the Toyota Supra Mark III and the Ford Thunderbird SC.
2. A World of Wheels
3. The Saab-Scania Story. This contains detailed drawings, period photos, and lots of trivia about every jet, truck, and car ever made.
4. Mercedes-Benz Production Models Book. This book dedicates two pages to every model/version made over 40 years.
This is for Lucas.
This is for rchen.
Though these books put my luggage home over the 25 pound limit, the well-manicured Hawaiian Airlines counter agent gave me a pass. The contents of these books should inspire a few blog posts, at least.

Nice find. I had a light blue Saab 9000 Turbo exactly like the one in the Scania book.
My wife and I honeymooned on Kauai in 2003 - it was heaven on earth.
That Saab book looks incredible, I can easily imagine losing myself in that for 4 hours at a time.
@Alan: 2 thoughts. 1) Whoever designed the cover for the Saab book should be fired. 2) Someone on Kauai has really weird taste in cars/car books.
Great find. I also had a Saab 9000 I bought it used for $2500 and 2 years later sold it for $2500 (due to an impending move). I loved that car and should have kept it. However, I take solice in the fact that car went to another Saab fanatic.
Cheers bigears.
