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) . . .

1995 Toyota Tercel Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1995 Toyota Tercel.  This little red economy car came to our shop as a faded, chalky looking thing.  We brought this Tercel back by first sanding out all of the chips and scratches, then applying a primer sealer to provide a perfect surface for the new paint to bond to.  Once those steps were complete we repainted the entire car with our most basic "Enamel" paint!  This Toyota is a great example, showcasing how even our most basic paint with the correct prep work can look great, all done while staying on a tight budget!

Ferrari FF and F355 Destroyed in Offroad Adventures

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is not one but 2 different Ferraris used for off roading. Sadly this isn't the first time we've joked about a Ferrari being used as a Jeep. The first wreck comes from Lancashire, England where an Oakley Design tuned Ferrari FF worth about US$300,000 stopped running up this hill when it finally hit a tree!

The second set of photos comes from Germany where a farmer was using his Ferrari F355 to plow his field. We are only speculating but it seems obvious that either an angry bull or a belligerent gang of llamas rolled the Ferrari several times.

Thankfully, both the farmer and the hill climber survived these crashes with few if any injuries.

Thanks to our buddies at WreckedExotics.com for always providing us with expensive mayhem.
