#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of the runaway phenomenon Unbroken comes a universal underdog story about the horse who came out of nowhere to become a legend.Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing establishment, which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse with the sad tail. Three men changed Seabiscuit's fortunes: Charles Howard was a onetime bicycle repairman who introduced the automobile to the western United States and became an overnight millionaire. When he needed a trainer for his new racehorses, he hired Tom Smith, a mysterious mustang breaker from the Colorado plains. Smith urged Howard to buy Seabiscuit for a bargain-basement price, then hired as his jockey Red Pollard, a failed boxer who was blind in one eye, half-crippled, and prone to quoting passages from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Over four years, these unlikely partners survived a phenomenal run of bad fortune, conspiracy, and severe injury to transform Seabiscuit from a neurotic, pathologically indolent also-ran into an American sports icon. Praise for Seabiscuit "Fascinating . . . Vivid . . . A first-rate piece of storytelling, leaving us not only with a vivid portrait of a horse but a fascinating slice of American history as well."--The New York Times
"Engrossing . . . Fast-moving . . . More than just a horse's tale, because the humans who owned, trained, and rode Seabiscuit are equally fascinating. . . . Laura Hillenbrand] shows an extraordinary talent for describing a horse race so vividly that the reader feels like the rider."--Sports Illustrated "REMARKABLE . . . MEMORABLE . . . JUST AS COMPELLING TODAY AS IT WAS IN 1938."--The Washington Post

Very high quality wire is great for automotive use
Size: 25FT, Style: 8AWG
This is really good quality wire. The insulation is thick, it is super flexible and very finely stranded. In fact the strands are so fine that you really should be using ferrules to terminate the wire. Without a ferrule, it would be very easy to have a stray strand extend to another terminal, and the strands are so fine that you may not even see it if you have old eyes like me.
I used this wire to run from my battery to a fuse, and then to an amplifier inside my vehicle. The wire is so flexible that it may be difficult to push it through the grommets in the firewall of a vehicle. I wound up taping it to a coat hanger, and pushing it through, which was an effective workaround. The insulation is also a bit grippy, so it may be a good idea to apply a lubricant to the grommet, so you don't wind up pulling the whole grommet out of the hole while pulling the wire.
If I needed more wire, I would certainly pick up more of this for my next project.

Good as it Gets
Size: 50FT, Style: 8AWG, Size: 50FT, Style: 8AWG
This is excellent wire I've been doing solar set ups for about 2 years now and this is as good as any I have used or seen. The Silicone insulation is super supple - it can easily be bent into quarter (25 cent) size loops. It is a true 8AWG super fine stranded tinned copper cable. It doesn't appear to be listed - but the cable is stamped every couple inches with 200* C and 8AWG. I'll forgo the listing - I know this stuff is good wire - and the only inspection I have to pass is my own. I ordered the 50 foot Red, 50 foot black. It is selling now for about 90 bucks. 90 cents a foot – pretty good deal for this wire.
