Gilbert Shelton, Jalopnik hero and all round genius, is best known for comics like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and the album artwork for the Dead's Shakedown Street, but he also did a series of advanced driving tips. A welcome antithesis to the incredibly dry and fairly worthless tips buff books are wont to publish, Shelton's series tends more towards the kinds of tips that might actually be useful, like how to flip a Citroen 2CV using nothing but a Peugeot. Shelton's work is a welcome antidote to modern motoring's draconian speed enforcement, the popularization of phony green principals and manufacturers focused on anesthetizing the driving experience as much as possible.
