Car Trouble: True Stories From The Breakdown Lane

Back in the 1990s Ken Field gave up a thriving auto repair shop, which catered to wealthy owners of British sports cars in Portland, Oregon, and moved to Montana to start a new life. That included driving a tow truck, which meant more stories for his already rich collection - stories of driving a client's car down Portland's Front Avenue on three wheels; of the cheerful woman who poured water in her oil-filler spout to cool her engine; and of the three Native American guys, all named Eddie, who needed a late-night tow to Helena - to name just a few. Car Trouble is really about people, who Ken handles with as much skill and generosity as he does their cars. He knows how to let his clients believe their own versions of how bad brakes, bad weather or bad luck caused their car trouble, while at the same time saving the real stories for later. There is no tow truck driver-client privilege, after all.
