The sun has made its appearance! That reminded us that Summer is just around the corner. Great time to offer a $50 discount on all Full Tint services. A Full Tint is all windows except the windshield and sunroof (but we can tint those, too!)

Although it receives slim to no publicity in this country, Formula One Racing is FANTASTIC!

Here’s a look at all of the on the fly instruments that a modern Formula One steering wheel has. Complicated is an understatement.

A Fender Bender to Remember

Oops, it’s a $1,140,000 fender bender… Hapless blonde crashes her Bentley into a Merc, Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin

When in Monte Carlo, everything is done in style. And that includes crashing your car.

This was the moment when a woman driver caused a $1.14 Million five-car pile-up as her Bentley collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.

Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her $400,000 Bentley Azure.

The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth $125,000 was the first victim as the 2.7-ton Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a $230,000 black Ferrari F430.

Hope you’re insured, madam: A policeman tries to sort out the chaos beside Monte Carlo’s Place du Casino

An Aston Martin Rapide worth $245,000 and an $130,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper. The driver and her two passengers then suffered the embarrassment of being surrounded by tourists as they were unable to open the doors of the convertible.

It is estimated the crash will cost more than $65,000 with the Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin requiring new front wings and bumpers. The Bentley will need the same repairs, plus a new door.

Chaos: A staggering $1.12 Million worth of supercars were involved in the inpromptu game of demolition derby

Ruud Poot, editor of European motoring website Autogespot, said: ‘You probably couldn’t find a worse place in the world to crash your car than outside Monaco’s Place du Casino in the middle of the summer.’

A staggering $1.12 Million worth of cars were shunted in a matter of minutes – enough to make the Top Gear boys wince in pain and criticise who caused the incident.

Aftermath: Hundreds of tourists snapped away on their cameras and mobile phones after what could easily be the world’s most expensive accident

Clear Bra, aka……….

3M pioneered the paint protection film (PPF) business when they introduced 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film. Now that’s a real mouthful! So it’s no surprise that a variety of names for this have evolved over the years.

Since we receive dozens of calls and e-mails a week from people interested in protecting their cars’ paint, we’ve learned there’s no shortage of names people use to describe what they are looking for. So to provide some clarity, we compiled the following list of “aliases” we’ve heard (alias: also known as, AKA, anonym, assumed name, handle, moniker, nickname, pen name, pseudonym).

Clear Bra (that’s what we at accutint* Bellevue call our PPF kits)
Clear Mask
Clear Shield
Clear Tape
ResistAll^® (ResistAll^® is a product we do offer at accutint* Bellevue. It’s not PPF, rather it is a sealant designed to protect your vehicle’s paint, fabrics, vinyl and leather. Please visit our Detailing section for a description of this service.)
Paint Protection Tape
Scotchgard

Now, did that end or add to the confusion? If you have a favorite name for this wonderful product, please share that with us.

I love racing video games. For me it is the closest I will get to experiencing these cars. The Forza video game series made by Turn 10 Studios is always a force to be reckoned with in the always competitive video game market. Below is the trailer they recently released at this years E3 Convention. Enjoy!

Ford Model T – 100 Years Later

Amazing video and information about the Ford Model T. Check out this video showing the first assembly lines at the original Ford auto plant…look for the guys making the old wooden wheels by hand. On a side note, Henry Ford employed many folks and paid a reasonable wage so the workers could in turn buy Ford’s cars. What a concept!
