Frosty The Salesman

Mother Nature is slightly confused on the seasons this year, but that hasn't stopped us from making the best of the winter-like weather. In fact, thanks to the recent snow storm, we acquired two new additions to the dealership: Sil Silverado and Mali Malibu. The pair blew in this morning to help remind customers that we have great incentives available through the end of the month. If you happen to be in town today, stop by and see Sil and Mali before they melt away!

Did You Know?: The Name Game

This month's edition of "Did You Know?" is based on the popularity of stage names in the Entertainment industry. Veteran salesman, Tim Hoyt, explains that sometimes an actor or actress will change their name so it will "roll off the tongue" easier.

Stage Name: A name assumed for professional purposes by an actor or other performer.

The following is a list of several well-known celebrities that changed their name after making it to Hollywood:
  • John Wayne = Marion Morrison
  • Cary Grant = Archibald Leach
  • Jerry Lewis = Joseph Levitch
  • Demi Moore = Demtria Guynes
  • Jane Seymour = Joyce Frankenberg
  • Charlie Sheen = Carlos Estevez
  • Bo Diddly = Elias Bates
  • Rock Hudson = Roy Scherer
  • Harry Houdini = Erik Weisz
  • Cher = Cheryilyn Sarkisian
  • Rodney Dangerfield = Jacob Cohen
  • Mickey Rooney = Joe Yule, Jr.
  • Whoopie Goldberg = Caryn Johnson
  • Hulk Hogan = Terry Bollea
  • Beyonce =  Giselle Knowles-Carter
  • Engelbert Humperdink = Arnold Dorsey
  • Judy Garland = Frances Gumm
  • Michael Keaton = Michael Douglas
  • Chubby Checker = Ernest Evans
  • Dean Martin = Dino Crocetti
  • Queen Latifah = Dana Owens

Pretty impressive list, huh? Special thanks to Tim Hoyt for once again surprising us with his wealth of knowledge outside the automotive industry. For more news and information about our dealership, like us on Facebook!

Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Savings Time is this Sunday...already! Unfortunately, we will be setting our clocks an hour ahead this time around. By hey, look at the bright side, we get to experience more sunshine during the day!

When you reset the clocks in your home in this weekend, don't forget to reset your vehicle's dash clock. If you can't remember how to reset it, check out this brief video.

Or, stop by our Quick Lube and a technician will reset it for you, free of charge. All you have to do is pull up to the doors and a technician will be out to assist you as quickly as possible. 

Have a great weekend!
