A New York Times bestseller, David Halberstam's The Breaks of the Game focuses on one grim season (1979-80) in the life of the Bill Walton-led Portland Trail Blazers, a team that only three years before had been NBA champions.More than six years after his death David Halberstam remains one of this country's most respected journalists and revered authorities on American life and history in the years since WWII. A Pulitzer Prize-winner for his groundbreaking reporting on the Vietnam War, Halberstam wrote more than 20 books, almost all of them bestsellers. His work has stood the test of time and has become the standard by which all journalists measure themselves.
The tactile authenticity of Halberstam's knowledge of the basketball world is unrivaled. Yet he is writing here about far more than just basketball. This is a story about a place in our society where power, money, and talent collide and sometimes corrupt, a place where both national obsessions and naked greed are exposed. It's about the influence of big media, the fans and the hype they subsist on, the clash of ethics, the terrible physical demands of modern sports (from drugs to body size), the unreal salaries, the conflicts of race and class, and the consequences of sport converted into mass entertainment and athletes transformed into superstars -- all presented in a way that puts the reader in the room and on the court, and The Breaks of the Game in a league of its own.

Perfect on 1999 Volvo v90 XC AWD
I had looked everywhere for an oil filter wrench that would fit the cartridge filter on this1999 Volvo v90 XC AWD. Nothing local worked and then there was the issue where the recommended filter wrench slipped.
When I was ordering the 86.6mm wrench, I looked at the pictures and noticed it said if I had a specific type of marking on the housing then I would need this 86.4mm wrench instead.
Thanks to that bit of info I can now replace the filter.
Works 100% like a charm and filter was easy to remove with a standard ratchet.
Wrench seems well made and the price was perfect, especially compared to some of the others that are $35+.
Very satisfied with this purchase.

Money Saver!!!!
Purchased yesterday and put bot cans in my gas tank. Very pleased with how it works. Had a code P0175 02 sensor bank 2. Thought I had to replace the sensors but looked into products and read the reviews of these can. Check engine light went off this morning. Drove it aggressively after I used the cans and they worked as advertised. Highly recommend.

car performance improvement
I bought this to use in my 2021 chevrolet equinox when my check engine light came on with an exhaust issue. so far I believe it's working. I have noticed increased mileage and a little more "zip" in the engine.

Works for us!
We use this regularly in my car. Seems to help keep sensors clear. My engine light comes on if I don’t add. We add it to gas tank. My husband says it’s because of poor quality (dirty) gas from other countries.
