We agree with SWATLAX, anything Fast and the Furious related is a major faux pas when purchased for anyone but the most hardcore ricer wannabe. And if there's a gift that's worse than FATF-themed merch, it's FATF-themed merch that comes in the form of a freaking book!.
We can just see the wee-drifter now, in his "Powered-by-VTEC" tshirt and footie pajama bottoms on Christmas Day, shredding the packaging: "Wow mom, it's a Fast And The Furious Official Car DVD.... uh... CD-ROM.... VHS... A book? Are you out of your freaking mind? A book about cars in a movie I'm going to pretend not to like in five years?"

Awesome to-the-max
What about How to build the cars from FATF
This book will tell you how to use an English wheel and a planishing hammer to make "street racers". Which will also lead into shades, wheel stands, and babes.
NAWS! Can I haz tha NAWS?
Does it include instructions for mounting an ironing board or park bench to the rear deck?
Definitely not a book I would put on my coffee table but I admit I am a fan of the latest F&F movie. If they made F&F book that relayed pertinent information about actual car set ups and performance techniques would you still be so inclined to hate it so?
@TheAstronot:
Performance Techniques = Decals and NOOOOOS.
Car Setups = Bolt-on "widemouth bass" bumpers with competition stereo setups that weigh hundreds of pounds.
Does it explain how you can get a backwards-running rotary to win in a 1/4 mile run that lasts like 3 miles?
Look at all those hover cars with wheels!
Also can it explain why Nos will allow a Mitsubishi Eclipse in lime green to suddenly be able to do over 140mph when, on the video it had clearly run out of revs and gears?
Unless Nos gives you an extra 3000 RPM and / or another gear?
I need Nos.
