One is fast, shiny, and ready to go; the other is a comfortable old jalopy, a little worse for wear but as reliable as can be. On a magic moonlit night, the doors of the garage swing open and they head out for a spin, each determined to prove that he is the \"best car on the road.\" Over hill and dale and roundabout they go, encountering--and narrowly missing--trains, trucks, wildlife, and even, in the form of a policeman on a motorcycle, the long arm of the law. Before the two cars' nocturnal caper is over, each will have discovered the being the \"best\" is not so simple as you might suppose.","brand":"New York Review of Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45087819235479,"sku":"9781590172346","price":770.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781590172346.webp?v=1767640951","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-two-cars-9781590172346","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
