Car wraps vs. new paint and more with Gulf Coast Auto Shield!
It is easy to see why car wraps have become a popular commercial option for business trying to attract attention. It also seems that we are seeing more vehicles wrapped to change the color, or add a sepcial effect for show. At the last Houston Autorama, we talked with some young men that have been working on doing their own cars with a vinyle wrap - mainly as a cost savings effort. So we went to one of the specialist - Gulf Coast Auto Shield. This team has been an award winning group applying a paint protection film for several years. Now that they have moved to a larger facility, it is a natural extention to take on vinyle wraps for reason other than i itial paint protection. Owner John Gray kicks things off, and then he brings in the real hands-on expert who shares a few tips for DIY wraps. ----- ----- In Wheel Time Car Talk is now available on iHeart Radio!

Real Road Racing in Mexico with Apex Auto Works and a 2012 Camaro is in the showroom!
An automobile race on 'public' roads is not something you see everyday - particularly what amounts to a run what ya' brung event. We ran across a really cool looking race car years ago and couldn't figure out where you could run such a vehicle, which is how we met Richard Tomlin from Apex Auto Works in Alvin, Texas. Richard went on to explain that the car was 'designed' for a road race south of the border call the 'Chihuahua Express'. With the help of local law enforcement, the public roads are closed long enough for a daily pass by racers from all over the world. These are public roads in Mexico, not prepped race tracks and there is no time for a practice lap. Any practice is only to learn the lay of the land while engaging local traffic. It is a facinating story, and each year, we catch up with Richard to hear how it is going, who is going, and any changes from the previous year. In our feature segment, Jeff Dziekan is looking over a 2012 Camaro as part of his under $10K seri…
