The inspiring success story of a YouTube entrepreneur and DIY car expert.

People are fascinated by Tesla: the cars, the stock price, and especially its headline-grabbing CEO. Rich Benoit was the first YouTuber to pull back the curtain on the cultlike business model that is the Tesla company, and he’s personally battled its consumer-unfriendly business practices.

In Going Fast and Fixing Things, Rich provides readers with behind-the-scenes access not only to his Rich Rebuilds YouTube channel but to his off-camera life as well.

Throughout his life, Rich has almost always been the proverbial “only Black guy in the room,” but despite the fact that online car culture—especially electric vehicle fandom—skews overwhelmingly white, he has become the most popular car rebuilding guy on the internet. His voice on the page is funny and intimate and a little goofy—just like his video persona—but always tempered by a clear determination to create success for himself as well as for his fans.

Going Fast and Fixing Things includes tips to help readers fix, drive, and buy their own cars, along with advice on how to defy the disposable-is-better consumerist ethos that saturates our current culture.

Before hearing Rich on a radio interview about his book, I never heard of him, but I love “car talk” and decided to get his book. I almost stopped reading it a few times because of the random transitions between topics. I hung in there and after I began to understand rich and his “mashed potato” insides, I really enjoyed the book. He talks about so many topics (cars, humor, cars, people, cars, children, cars, race) and has some valuable insights. If you start this book, don’t give up - hang in there and I bet you will enjoy it.

I was surprised at how well written the book was. It had all of the humor that Rich puts in his videos as well as some insights into what makes him tick though he would say he kept most of who he truly is hidden. So what. It was fun.

As good as the videos.
