a witty and irreverent exploration of automotive culture, focusing on the vehicles that have lost their cool factor or were never cool to begin with. Rather than celebrating high-performance machines or luxury status symbols, Hammond turns his attention to the cars that evoke embarrassment, confusion, or outright disdain. He questions how celebrity associations, outdated designs, and misguided marketing can tarnish a cars reputation, and he offers humorous anecdotes and sharp observations about models that should be avoided at all costs. The book includes a satirical Showroom Questionnaire for manufacturers to assess whether a car is destined to become socially unacceptable. With his trademark humor and insight, Hammond critiques not just the cars themselves but the cultural baggage they carry, making this a playful yet pointed commentary on automotive identity and personal taste.
