Automotive joy. . . . Stories that will resonate with any car lover.”
—Fortune

“Truly epic. . . . A Man His Car explores the personal connection between an eclectic mix of gentlemen and their cherished rides, from celebrities to collectors to the everyman who fell fast and hard for a certain four-wheeler.”
—Robb Report
 
“A Man His Car pairs gorgeous photos of A-listers' personal autos with first-person essays on their automotive loves.” 
—Hollywood Reporter

“Fascinating. . . . [Hranek’s] gallery-worthy photos are visual testimony to car design as an art form and are paired with their owner's memories and the joys of being a gearhead. . . . Hranek tells the accompanying stories with affection, experience and an underlying passion. This illustrated tale of the love affair between owners and automobiles is certain to take readers on an armchair roadtrip they'll happily repeat many times.”
