Collision Repairs Done the Right Way!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. This truck came to our shop after an unfortunate encounter with a Nissan. Luckily insurance covered all of the needed repairs! With collisions there are usually many damaged areas unseen at first glance. This "fender bender" damaged a couple of vital areas of this truck's appearance such as the radiator support and a couple of frame mounting points. We worked with the insurance company to either repair or replace these damaged areas and we painted the replacement panels to match the factory color. Once everything had been completed we detailed the pickup and returned it to its owner looking great once again!

Jaguar F-Type In Cinders

This makes it official. The new Jaguar F-Type is a true exotic. Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is the barely introduced Jaguar F-Type that has already spontaneously combusted, just like the best from Lamborghini and Ferrari.

Jaguar was kind enough to let the Almost Everything team drive a few F-Types on the runway at Alameda Naval Air Station a few weeks ago. The 'F' in F-Type stands for Fast and Furious. We like!

However these are NOT the photos from Joel's test drive--only the tires were smoldering when he got out. Instead, these come from Belgium via our good friends at WreckedExotics.com. The driver escaped unharmed and reported that the car simply caught fire on an off ramp. F may also stand for Flamable.

Another Ho-Hum Day in Pebble Beach, California

We like to putter around Carmel and Pebble Beach, California (pun intended) in August every year. It is when and where the world's richest car fanatics congregate for the annual Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance. Decades ago it was a one day event. Now it's a week that encompasses the Monterey Historic Races, auto auctions, Concorso Italiano, and auto manufacturers showing off their best stuff. Our favorite part is trolling the streets and parking lots around the event. . .

No clue what this is. Please tell us.

Just more Ferraris and a Bugatti

Of course, this year we spent the weekend painting the outside of the Almost Everything building instead of participating in automotive nirvana. Thank goodness for our great friends at ExoticSpotter across the Bay who agregate photos of stuff like this.
