The Miraculous Escape of the Nissan R35 GT-R

2024-11-26

One Nissan R35 GT-R owner found themselves in a precarious situation when a lighting truss randomly fell during the DBTK Auto Salon in the Philippines. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the unexpected dangers that can occur at such events.

An Automotive Miracle

During the weekend, a lighting truss came crashing down, nearly crushing several JDM classics and a Gulf-liveried R35 GT-R. The videos don't provide clear details on how the truss fell, leaving it uncertain whether it was due to human error or improper setup. One of the stands tipped over before the entire truss collapsed between the R35 and a classic AE86 Toyota Sprinter Trueno. Miraculously, the truss either gave the GT-R the lightest of brushes or landed just a hair's width away. It's a close call that could have had much more severe consequences. If there had been a slight breeze in the direction of the GT-R, the truss would have likely crushed the car's front end and totaled it.The fact that no one was hurt and no car was damaged in this strange incident is truly a blessing. It's a reminder of how lucky we can be in certain situations.

The Close Call

As we watch the video, it's hard to believe the narrow margin of safety. The truss seemed to hang in the air, just inches away from the GT-R. It's a testament to the precision of fate that the car was spared. This incident highlights the importance of safety measures and proper setup at such events. Even a small mistake could have had disastrous consequences.

The Aftermath

After the incident, people were seen standing around calmly, seemingly in disbelief. They had just witnessed an automotive miracle as the car gods decided not to take the owner's GT-R that day. It's a strange sight to see people reacting so calmly in such a tense situation. Thankfully, no one was in harm's way, but it's a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong.In conclusion, this incident serves as a lesson for all event organizers and participants. Safety should always be a top priority, and proper precautions should be taken to prevent such accidents from happening. The Nissan R35 GT-R's miraculous escape is a story that will be remembered for a long time.

In recent years, many shops have witnessed an increase in customers expressing "sticker shock" upon seeing the cost of windshield replacements. This trend is not isolated but is part of a broader phenomenon in the auto repair industry. Alongside collision repair costs, windshield replacement prices for newer models have seen a significant rise.

Uncover the Hidden Costs of Windshield Replacements

Impact of Inflation on Auto Repair Costs

The Wall Street Journal recently reported on this issue in the broader auto repair industry. It highlights that inflation has played a role in the 28% growth of car maintenance and repair costs over the past three years. However, this is not the only factor contributing to the increased costs.Auto repair costs are affected by various elements, and one significant aspect is the additional labor required when working with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These systems, such as blind-spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking (AEB), help enhance driver safety but also add to the complexity and time required for repairs.

The Auto Glass Industry's Dilemma

Internet forums are filled with queries like "When did windshield replacements become $700?" and responses indicating that this is a low estimate. Many owners of newer model vehicles complain that replacements on their cars can cost between $1,000 and $2,000. This shows the significant disparity in windshield replacement costs for different vehicle models and the challenges faced by the auto glass industry.In July 2024, Kelley Blue Book published an article for drivers titled "It May Cost More Than You Think to Replace a Windshield." The publication explains to consumers that ADAS components associated with the windshield need recalibration after a replacement. This extra process requires additional time and specialized work, which leads to higher costs.

Future Trends and Integration

With technological advancements and the passage of regulations like the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 127, which mandates AEB for new cars and light trucks starting in 2029, industry experts predict that ADAS will become even more integrated with windshield replacements. This means that customers can expect to see further increases in windshield replacement costs in the coming years.We are interested in hearing from you. How do you handle explaining windshield replacement costs, especially those associated with ADAS recalibration, to customers? Please share your thoughts by emailing abowman@glass.com.

"Descubre la Nueva Gama de Ensaladas Frescas en el Vending Galego"

Sección 1: Presentación de la Nueva Gama

La operadora de restauración automática explica que "Saborese nace con un propósito claro: ofrecer opciones equilibradas y frescas que se adapten a las necesidades de los consumidores actuales, quienes buscan productos que aporten tanto en sabor como en valor nutricional." Las ensaladas frescas incluyen la ensalada de garbanzos con salsa de mostaza miel, la ensalada de pasta con manzana verde y salsa yogur, y la clásica ensalada césar con queso curado y picatostes. Estas ensaladas están elaboradas en sus propios obradores, garantizando una calidad fresca y nutritiva.

Sección 2: Tecnología y Conservación

Gran parte de las empresas en el sector de la distribución y restauración automática están vertiendo esfuerzos en ofrecer una oferta en sintonía con los hábitos saludables. Hasta ahora, el principal pretexto era "la dificultad de conservación", pero las constantes innovaciones y tecnologías facilitan el almacenamiento y mantenimiento. Ya lo apuntaban desde la Revista Forbes: el futuro de la distribución automática se visualiza prometedor e irá expandiendo la oferta de productos saludables.

Sección 3: Impacto Medioambiental

Las ensaladas se comercializan en envases con un 85% de plástico reciclado, minimizando el impacto ambiental y aportando una solución más responsable. Esto es un ejemplo de cómo la operadora se esfuerza por combinar la salud y el medio ambiente en sus productos.

Sección 4: Mercado y Negocio

Introducir gamas de productos en sintonía con la demanda saludable es una medida inteligente para ampliar la cuota de mercado. Delikia, por ejemplo, ha incorporado diversas estrategias saludables a su portfolio de servicios. Y el lanzamiento de Saborese al mercado supone un cambio de rumbo para potenciar los obradores propios. Esta línea es el primer lanzamiento de un catálogo de productos que llegarán al mercado para seguir cubriendo las necesidades de los consumidores.
