• Jim's birthday was two weeks ago. He's just gotten his driver's license. Tonight, he and his girl are going to a dance in his father's car, which Jim is driving by himself for the first time.

• Jack has been driving for two years, but he wants his own car. He's saved the money he earned at part-time jobs and now he has enough. Maybe he'll buy a good used car, or maybe he'll use the money as a down payment on a new one. He can't quite decide.

• Bill is a hot-rod fan. A few months ago he came in third in a supervised regional drag race, driving a car he had customized himself. Next month there's another race—and this time he wants to win.

Dragging and Driving, a car handbook for the teen-age boy, has chapters of vital interest to Jim, Jack and Bill in particular, and to every other boy who knows how to drive a car. It is full of specific information on auto maintenance, insurance, accident prevention, things to watch out for when buying a used car, how to customize a car for greatest speed with maximum safety—every question, in short, that a boy wants answered before the day he becomes a licensed driver.
