Maaco Sponsored Formula Mazda Crashes


WCFE Round 4 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca from Lloyd Read on Vimeo.

The Maaco sponsored Lloyd Read Formula Mazda is still in the hunt for the FE Championship but as this video shows, it was forced to retire during Round 4 of the series. Read spins early in the race then, amazingly, retakes most of the cars in the field. Sadly, as Read attempts a pass in Turn 2, he is forced off the track, spins and is hit by another car. Suspension damage puts the car out of the race.

See Read in his faster Pro Formula Mazda this weekend at Infineon Raceway, Sears Point for the Formula Car Challenge by Goodyear:

  Date: June 11-12, 2011
  Time: 8:00 - 6:00
  "Our" car races 3:30 Sat., 4:00 Sun.

2001 MITSUBISHI GALANT COMPLETE PAINT

Maaco Fremont's car of the day is a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant.
This is a commuter car the owner got tired of all new cars driving past him with there shinny paint. He didn't want to spend money on a new car, the Galant gets good gas mileage so why trade it in.
 His wife saw the Maaco ad and  said why don't we go to Maaco to get the car painted instead of getting a new car. They came to Maaco Fremont to get a estimate. We went over the car with them to make sure we didn't miss anything, I gave them a price that made them happy. Here's the the car now.
Please comment and let me know what you think.

Inside Ford GT at 235 MPH (380 kph)




http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/

I got my first Ford GT when I was 5 years old. It was 1.5 inches long, ran on a slot track and was called "Pizza Pie" for reasons that only a 5 year old and his brothers would understand.

Not Always Obvious. . .

The accident didn't seem that bad. . . the plastic bumper bounced back into place and it didn't look like there was much damage.

Sometimes the damage isn't obvious. Be wary when accepting settlement payments from a driver that hits you or their insurance company. Significant damage to the car below was not visible from the outside. The damage to the bumper reinforcement and rear body is a safety concern if the car is hit again from the rear. And the trunk is going to leak in the rain or a car wash.

Bob, our Master Technician, works on
a car with rear end damage
The bumper cover is removed and things still don't look too bad
But when we take off a plastic cover
you can see the big wrinkle in the metal
on the driver's side of the trunk opening
There is a wrinkle at the weather seal on the passenger side too.
The weld on the bumper reinforcement is broken
The bumper reinforcement is crushed and twisted




Maaco-Fremont repaired all of the damage on this car, replaced the crushed bumper reinforcement and energy absorber and repainted the damage area with factory paint.
