Cars are more than just a means of transportation; they are a reflection of our lives, our experiences, and our personal growth. Each vehicle we own becomes a chapter in our life story, intertwined with memories, adventures, and the people we share those moments with. In this book, "My Car Journey: A Lifetime of Automotive Adventures," I invite you to join me on a nostalgic journey through my life, as told through the cars I have owned. From the early days of delivering newspapers on my Yamaha Riva scooter to the custom-built classics crafted by my brother-in-law, each vehicle represents a unique phase and holds a special place in my heart. As you turn the pages, you'll discover the importance of these cars beyond their make and model. You'll see how they served as trusty companions during my teenage years, provided a sense of freedom and independence as I entered adulthood, and became an integral part of my family life as the years passed.

Is Henry Otis crazy?During formative years in Dangle, Wyoming, Henry becomes convinced that he possesses the power to orchestrate real world events by pure force of will. The maker of miracles at first exults in his power, but soon realizes there are rules to its exercise, some of which will be disclosed only after he breaks them.Having "confabrilated" his brother Robert's romance with a college co-ed, Henry infers that he is responsible for subsequent failure of the couple's marriage. As a consequence of willing his wife's pregnancy, he assumes blame for her miscarriage. Mother Otis dies in a car wreck because her younger son, at an unguarded moment, wishes she'd get lost. But what offense did Henry commit against the "power beyond" to cause the death of his best friend Jeffery, a peace officer, who takes a bullet to the chest while attempting to resolve a domestic dispute.Nearly catatonic from compounded grief, Henry loses his job as a police dispatcher, is committed to the psyche ward at the local hospital and, upon release, dutifully attends regular therapeutic sessions with a psychologist. One afternoon his therapist cancels an appointment, and he returns home unexpectedly to discover that brother Robert and wife Holly have become lovers. There follows a frantic chase to the Mexican border, with the betrayed husband racing to outdistance a team of insidious deceivers.In Mexico, Henry follows a group of pilgrims into a cave, and there learns that he has been assigned a sacred mission, which is also his last chance at redemption. Aided by desert animals, ambulant campesino skeletons and a Downs-syndrome angel, he manages to save a holy golden cross from evil forces that conspire to cast the entire world in darkness.Is Henry Otis nuts? He'd say it's hard to tell, once you get rolling.
