Fourth Annual Mesquite Motor Mania Draws Record Field of More than 700 Classic Cars
Mesquite, Nev. (PRWEB) January 18, 2012
If ever there was the perfect setting for the television hit show Happy Days, it had to be Mesquite and the fourth annual Mesquite Motor Mania held Friday through Sunday with $ 15,000 in prize money along with 154 trophies and awards.
A record field of more than 700 classic cars and a crowd in the thousands, the community about 80 miles north of Las Vegas became the scene of awesome machinery, great people and even the Smokin’ Big Chili Challenge II doubleheader that benefited the Goodie Two Shoes organization.
With classic cars at the CasaBlanca, Oasis, Virgin River and the Eureka – along with the throaty sounds of high-horsepower engines – there was a level of electricity, color and pride that would make any city in America proud. With ideal weather conditions throughout the weekend, Mesquite Motor Mania not only attracted an incredible field of cars but also served as a giant economic boost to hotels, restaurants, bars and the rest.
All that was missing was Henry Winkler as The Fonz. With street cruising along with an assortment of everything from a 100 year-old Cadillac to dragsters and cars from several decades, Mesquite Motor Mania was definitely a time of enjoying the good old days.
Reality may have set in again when the gathering of machinery headed home in all directions reaching from the state of Washington in the northwest to Texas in the South and countless other states throughout the country.
However, the key to Mesquite Motor Mania 2012 was that for three solid days, men, women and kids listened to old-time Rock and Roll music, drooled at the beautiful vehicles while throwing back to times when life was simpler.
Among the admirers was Mesquite Mayor Mark Wier.
“I have been in Mesquite since 1993 and I remember when we couldn’t get two rows of cars together for a car show,” Wier said. “This is absolutely fantastic. From me to you, welcome to Mesquite, the best city in Nevada to call home.”
Dwight Melvin, a 61 year-old admitted car guy, brought his cruiser 1950 Chevrolet Fleetwood to the show.
“I have been coming since Day One,’ said Melvin. “I love Mesquite Motor Mania. It’s a great show.”
A couple that really learned to love Mesquite Motor Mania was the husband and wife team of Richard and Menchy Pruett of San Clemente, Calif. Visiting Mesquite for the first time, the Pruetts captured Best of Show with a beautiful 1941 Black Willys powered by a 496 cubic inch Chevrolet big block.
In fact, the Pruetts are so entrenched in the Willys that they are a great example of the belief that couples who work together (on cars) stay together.
“I have been around cars since I was a little kid,” said Mr. Pruett, a retired former salesman. “People like us get a kick out of revisiting the old days and you can do just that with a car show. We can visit yesteryear. This brought the kid out of me again.”
Interestingly, Mrs. Pruett is heavily involved in the maintenance and upkeep of the car. In what is a fascinating story, she added all the wiring to the Willys thereby illustrating her intense knowledge of the classic car business.
“I don’t’ mind getting dirty at all,” Mrs. Pruett laughed just before climbing under the Willys to check something. “This ($ 3,000) is our biggest payday.”
The Pruetts also said they’d be back to defend their title in 2013.
“The people here are so friendly,” Mr. Pruett said adding that the couple purchased the car from a resident of Yakima, Wash. “I have never met so many friendly nice people at a car show.”
Chris Slater, a 39 year-old Las Vegan who works for IGT, won the burnout competition in his 1970 Chevrolet El Camino and loved every minute of Mesquite Motor Mania.
“It’s really a lot of fun up here,” said Slater, whose car has a 454 cubic inch engine. “This show is really cool because you can drive around to the different hotels and show off your car. Mesquite is quiet and a great getaway.”
Mesquite Gaming Sporting Event Manager Christian Adderson, a Mesquite transplant who moved from Seattle, Wash., several years ago, gets the credit for the creation of Mesquite Motor Mania.
“This has been awesome,” Adderson told the jam-packed capacity crowd in the CasaBlanca Showroom Sunday. “Hats off to everyone for helping make this such a tremendous success.”
Specialty Awards included Best of Chrome, Outstanding Paint, Outstanding Engine, Best Engineered, Hottest Flames, Coolest Car, Sanitary Award and Hot Stuff.

Mesquite, which has a long list of special events every year, will next showcase the Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival Jan. 28-29. Further information can be found at http://www.casablancaresort.com.

InsuranceHotline.com Dispels the Top Fall Car Insurance Myths

InsuranceHotline.com Dispels the Top Fall Car Insurance Myths
Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) November 02, 2011
This autumn, learn the facts about some of the most common car insurance myths. Most drivers have heard these myths presented as fact at some point, but knowing the truth could save a lot of hassle and money. “Just because someone passes on information as though it were fact doesn’t make it so,” Tammy Ezer of InsuranceHotline.com advises, “get the facts from a real expert before you make any judgment calls.”
Commute Distance Determines Rates
Commute distance does have an impact on insurance rates, but probably not as much as most people think. Many insurance companies use a run of distances to determine how rates will be affected by commute. The three categories typically used are:
distanced less than 5 km distances between 6 and 24 km distances over 25 km
All else being equal, someone who drives less than 5 km to work will likely have a different rate than someone with a 30 km commute, but a distance of 7 km and one of 20 km may not impact rates as both of these fall into the same category. Also, moving up a category only tends to impact rates by about 10 – 15%. Look instead at things like car thefts and accident rates where you live and of course driving record, as the major culprits in placing differences.
No Police Report, No Risk of Claim
If the police are not called to the scene of an accident and no report is filed, many people believe the danger of a claim being filed for injuries or damage has passed. The fact is that anyone involved in an accident has one year to file a damage claim and two years for injury claims.
Whether because the symptoms of the injury didn’t arise until later, they didn’t notice the damage or simply that they were not aware of their rights at the scene, an injured party in an accident has time to put in a claim. It doesn’t matter if a police report was filed or not; not until two years have passed, is the risk of a claim gone.
Cyclists Don’t Need to Follow the Same Rules as Cars
Even on two wheels, the same laws of the road apply. Cyclists can be charged with a travelled violation just caring a car, including:
Failing to signal when changing lanes or turning Failing to obey traffic signs and lights Illegal turns and lane changes
The Highway Traffic Act applies to all traffic on the roads, including cyclists. A moving violation on a bike may appear on your record just like one in a car – and may have an impact on your auto insurance rate.
Accident Forgiveness Means no Repercussions
The concept of accident forgiveness is one of the selling points in insurance policies and it gives those who have it a false sense of safety from repercussions after an accident. The truth is that accident forgiveness carries plenty of fine print and conditions:
Accident forgiveness may not apply to incidents where serious or criminal charges are filed Accident forgiveness will not follow a consumer to a new insurance company if they switch during the six years the accident is on record Policies don’t have accident forgiveness automatically, just because an insurance company offers it. It may need to be purchased as an add-on; This coverage could cost anywhere from $ 50-$ 100 per year. Each insurance company can put their own limitations on accident forgiveness
Rental Cars are Always Covered
At the rental desk, many people foreswear the company’s insurance on the rental because they infer that their ain insurance will frost them. In some situations this is truthful, but before leasing it is up to the driver to tick their coverage. There are plenty of factors that can touch coverage in a rental car:
The policy must include full coverage in order for full coverage to be extended Rental car coverage is an optional coverage that must be added to the policy usually at an extra charge Where the rental car is being driven (check the rules on the country in which the car is rented if outside of Canada) determines coverage There may be maximum limits on the policy that would not cover a luxury or sports car rental
In some cases rental car coverage is available through credit card benefits, but be sure to verify the limits of this coverage.
