A Dramatic New Look

The owner of this 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse wanted a dramatic new look for his car. We changed the color from stock black to a bright, custom orange.

S2000 with Accident Damage

A minor accident caused the bumper and fender to get dented and out of alignment. We fixed the dents, replaced a few brackets, repainted and got everything back to as-new condition.

4th of July Celebration - Almost Everything Style

Red, White and Blue! (Right to Left: Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, Pontiac Fiero GT, Mazda MX5 Miata)

Let's get the party started with a trio of red, white and blue cars (and for those with good eyes there are two all-American Teslas in the background!) Pick your favorite: the Mazda Miata in blue, Pontiac Fiero GT in white or the Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo (twin to a Mitsubishi 3000GT) is in red. We painted these cars awhile ago and have been saving the photo for 4th of July.

Alfa Romeo 4C Visits Shop

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C. We're car guys here so our hearts skipped a beat when this Italian beast pulled up. It was brand new and thankfully there wasn't a thing wrong with it. One of our long-time customers just purchased it and knew we'd enjoy being some of the first people in the USA to see one. I love Alfas and am excited that we are finally getting to taste them again in the United States.

Once Embarrassing Mitsubishi Eclipse is Back in Tuxedo Black

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a forlorn Mitsubishi Eclipse that was so pitiful its owner brought it to the shop under cover of darkness. The paint had was fading and peeling. It was one of the worst looking cars we've seen (and that says a lot!) We repainted the whole car and now it looks extremely handsome day and night.

Join Us to Stop Ferrari Abuse!

We like to stay out of politics. . . but on this issue our hackles have been raised! In the past week we reported 2 poor, defenseless Ferraris destroyed by senseless offroading. Today we add a third.

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is an F458 Italia driven by what we are sure is a mature 18 year old from Norway. Sadly, the immense wealth of his parents could not buy knowledge that Ferraris cannot conquer all terrains, do not have 18" of ground clearance and have not been tested on the surface of Mars. Some argue that Ferrari has never made any of these claims and that most fools can tell that a Ferrari should be driven on pavement. The evidence is clearly to the contrary and until a permanent solution can be found, we think fools and their Ferraris should be parted. Send us your Ferrari and we guarantee not to off road it for you. 

Please send your abused Ferraris along with generous donations to:

    Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ferraris (SPCF)

    c/o Almost Everything Auto Body

    37414 Centralmont Place

    Fremont, California 94536

    USA

Won't you do your part? Tell Ferrari to stop promoting off road use of these innocent supercars! Leave the mud and boulders to Land Rover, Jeep and Steyr-Daimler-Puch.

Note: despite the severity of the crash, the driver was uninjured. And thankfully, no one at the school where this crash took place was hurt. Thanks to WreckedExotics.com for our regular doses of exotic car mayhem.

Jaguar's Good to Be Bad Promotion

Jaguar are promoting their new F-Type sports car (and we do mean sport--it is completely, unreservedly awesome) with their #GoodToBeBadContest.

The most recent contest "mission" was, "Tell us what song's playing when you're at your most villainous." It brought to mind a song that I used to blast on repeat while road racing along cliffs and mountain roads on the California coast above San Francisco.

So. . . here is Frank's (from Almost Everything's) insane driving theme song, "The Floral Dance" by The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band (#2 on the British Pop Charts in 1977) . . .

Jaguar F-Type Coupe Coming Soon

Almost Everything received a press release this afternoon. We drove the new Jaguar F-Type a few months ago and are fans. We just thought that it should be available as a coupe as well as a convertible. Apparently Almost Everything has more pull with Jaguar than we realized!

Here's what Jaguar announced today:

"The highly anticipated 2015 F-TYPE Coupe will  be officially unveiled on November 20, 2013 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The all-aluminum F-TYPE Coupe delivers on the promise of the C-X16 Concept Car, which won Autoweek's Best in Show award at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. “We've been overwhelmed by the positive reaction to the F-TYPE Convertible, says Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design, “But for me the purity of creating a sports coupe is a uniquely satisfying process. I know that both visually and dynamically, F-TYPE Coupe raises the bar yet again.”

We agree.
