Is This For Real?
Dogs Shouldn't Drive: Here are two stories on why dogs are rarely employed as chauffeurs. First, a 70-lb. pit bull jumped on a car's gearshift at a carwash in Pryor, Oklahoma, sending the car out of the bay, to circle the lot briefly. Second, a boxer-shar-pei mix similarly jostled the gearshift of a van in Port Jefferson, New York, sending it through the front window of a coffee shop.

Grant Opportunities for Collision Repair Education
The I-CAR Education Foundation is proud to announce five categories of grants this year. The categories include opportunities to help career and technical school and college collision repair programs, school collision instructors, and deserving students pursuing a career in the collision industry. This scholarship is funded by the I-CAR Education Foundation's Collision Repair Education Campaign.
"The scholarships and grants we are offering this year are important to the future of the collision industry," said Scott Kruger, I-CAR Education Foundation Executive Director. "They help remove financial barriers to collision education for students and help collision schools provide the most thorough and modern training needed by the industry. Our goal is that future entry-level collision technicians have the skills and experience necessary to immediately become productive, efficient, and committed workers in collision repair facilities."
