Is This For Real?
Just Pay the Ticket: In Phoenix a young man ran from his car rather than be detained at a traffic stop for running a red light. Officers naturally pursued him on foot. As police were wandering around looking for him, a truck driver walked by, got into his truck, and drove off, running over the prostrate body of the ticket dodger, who had been hiding underneath.

Greetings!
Chemistry is awesome. Here's a good example: Scientists at the University of Southern Mississippi have developed a self-healing coating material. It's a polyurethane that contains
chitosan (a chemical found in certain crustacean shells) and organic
compounds called oxetanes arranged in rings. When the coating is scratched, the rings of oxetane are broken to
expose chemically reactive sites. Ultraviolet light from the sun splits
open the chitosan molecules. The oxetane and chitosan attract each
other, bond and close the scratches. Mike Davey,Editor |
The Collision Repair Talent Search is On!
 By Kruno BradasevicWithout a doubt, the collision repair industry is filled
with people who have real passion and talent. Talent can be focused into work,
like a custom paint job on a classic car, and talent can be focused into a
performing art, like playing guitar for a local band. Some people are gifted
with amazing talents, and these talents should be recognized.
Collision Repair magazine is launching a national
talent search for people in the industry. We'll be giving away prizes for
demonstrations of great talent. If you can sing, dance, tell a comedy routine
or demonstrate any other talent - film it and send it to us through our web
site. One of the prizes up for grabs is a custom-painted Fender Classic Series
'65 Mustang guitar.
To view example videos, please click here. It's easy to create and upload songs! Submissions will be accepted beginning April 1st. For more information please visit collisionrepairmag.com/talentshow.
