I hope that everybody had a joyous holiday and wishing all a safe and happy new year. New Years is a time when people have a tendency to make resolutions to better themselves, but most only last several weeks. I solved that problem several years back when I gave up making New Year’s resolutions for Lent, and visa versa. So instead of listing my resolutions I’ll share some CMGC revelations:
1.Contrary to what you may have previously read or heard, Jim Renkar is probably not The Stig.
2.Dave “Cowboy” Bralich is not from Texas, but Wisconsin. He knows more about milking cows than herding them.
3.Victor L’Heureux never had a problem with his starter. But don’t tell Penny.
4."Evil” Jesse Evans really exists. He occasionally makes phantom visits to the meetings and is known to pull various shenanigans. Born in 1853 he was a key figure in the famous Lincoln County Range War. There is no record of his death. Due to his age, he is probably the great-great grandfather, not the brother of Jim Evans.
5.Dieter Zetsche, chairman and CEO of Daimler, is in reality the long lost Hirsch triplet, Morton
And the last dirty little secret:...
6.Some club members own Triumphs and Miatas.
As a belated Christmas gift, I don’t have a boring book review for you this month. Let’s start the new year off right.
