How to Change Your Oil

I’m proud to announce that I had my first contribution to a major book published recently–my chapter “How to Change Your Oil by Memo Gidley, as told to Marshall Pruett” is featured in the book “50 Things Every Guy Should Know How To Do : Celebrity and Expert Advice on Living Large ” as one of the 50 chapters of advice offered.

The book, published in May, has received great reviews and is doing rather well (look ma, my book’s in the top fifty thousand at Amazon! #49,976 to be precise…) and features the 50 things every “Dad and Grad” needs to know—my portion was actually ghost written by me for my pal, Indycar and Prototype stud, Memo Gidley. He’s told some great stories over the years on his countless cross-country treks to races in his beater Toyota pickup, so I just morphed some of those tales into Memo’s voice for the book.

If you get a chance, it’s a fairly fun read, can be found in every Barnes and Noble, and has chapters from experts on all kinds of stuff you’d never known you needed to know!

Of all my accomplishments, I must say, being a contributor to a book that also features works by Britney Rears and Carson Kressley is, um, an honor?…least they could have done was add Vanilla Ice to the roster of writing ‘talent’…
