Show notes

Concours in the Hills Lamborghini Culture We all have our unique stories of what tickles our cool car fancy, whether we acquired a classic Mustang or a sleek and dynamic performing Lamborghini Aventador. Tim Vallely of Vallely Marine https://bit.ly/2DKIt8O stops by to tell a pretty interesting story of how the youngest family member inspired a closer look and ultimate life long passion for all things Lamborgini. Frank works really hard here to find out from Tim which secret roadway gets the opportunity to brace the roar and thunder of some serious automotive performance, to no avail, top secret according to Tim ( but of course). Running a successful sport and marine business from the bottom up, Tim gives us an awesome 'roll up sleeves and get er done’ approach to life's success, as well as some real excitement about the grand opening of AAPEX Motor Club's new race track https://bit.ly/2N7xzOS where he can run that Lambo free as a bird!

#142 Body Shop & Insurance Tips Feb 17, 2019

Show notes

Frank and Susie give their take on some not so breaking news about that awkward sleep situation and how automotive technology may come to the rescue? Ford recently announced a product that may have nothing to do with the act of driving, as it may just solely be on a mission here attempting to save your relationship. Tossing and turning like active squirrels while you sleep with your partner can be the cause of some serious sleep woes, and the big three manufacturer has figured out a way to incorporate corrective steering into your bedroom, saving the day, maybe. Andre Purdue of the award winning Red Rock Collision Body Shop up in Cottonwood Arizona https://redrockcollision.com/, as well as the talented master painter Jeremy Winters of Butler Collision https://www.butlercollisioncenter.com/ and host of the popular podcast Booth Talk https://booth-talk.com/ stops by the show as we lay out tips on how to own that body shop experience if you are in a vehicle collision. Frank gets animated as usual about all things crooked insurance, cheap paint jobs and truly believes preparing for this show may have oddly led to his wife's recent snafu & subsequent vehicle accident.
