>>Feeling lucky?

Nashoba Valley Technical High School's auto body department will hold a lottery to determine which vehicles its students will repair for the 2010-2011 school year. They've invited the community members to enter their cars in the draw--the winner gets the full collision treatment on the cheap. Of course, it might be a while before you get your car back.

Greetings!

Bonjour! I'm coming to you from Quebec City this week, where we've set up to cover the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling.

Along those lines--in terms of region, at least--the first issue of Collision Quebec is now available to view on our website. It's at the right corner of collisionrepairmag.com, right beside the English version.

If you speak French, please take a look. It's a new venture for Media Matters, and I'm interested to hear feedback to see where we can improve and where we should pat our writers on the backs (though hopefully more of the latter than the former).

See you next week. Take care,

-Joe Rayment
