"Auto Repair for Dummies" by Deanna Sclar. It's a real 'for dummies' book. I have it, and I recommed it for anybody who's never spun a wrench on their car.
A follow-on for that is also good is "Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies" by David Vespremi. This book actually gives you more tips on how to turn your car into a performance machine, but it goes beyond just having a fast engine. It goes into detail about brakes and suspensions as well.
A great first car to learn to wrench on would be an old Honda Civic. Millions of them out there, parts are interchangeable like lego blocks, and there isn't a replacement part for that car that they don't make.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
