Things I Learned At the Spring Midwest C3VR Gathering

I learned that everyone who lives in Michigan thinks their hand is a map - even if you're just going 2 miles down the road

 

I learned the GM didn't design their brake light switches to be good for a lifetime (or even much more than 36 years), but Auto Zone does

 

I learned that when replacing a brake light switch, it can be easy to bump (and possibly disconnect) the speedometer cable

 

I learned that when taking a group picture with timer, you should put as much attention into what’s in the picture as you do getting the timer set and back into the picture

I learned that there are some "crossing" signs that you want to slow down for more than others

I learned that jelly beans come in other sizes

 

I learned that windmill operators can “speak” with the blades

 

I learned that in 1904, Oldsmobile made a car that got 40 miles to the gallon!  What happened to them?

 

I learned that when a "momma" beech tree and a "papa" beech tree have offspring, they are called "sons of beeches"

 

I learned that Yenko also did conversions on Novas and Corvairs.  Really?

 

I already knew, but was repeatedly reminded what a great bunch of people you all are!  Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this event a success!  As always, we had a great time.  Looking forward to the next one!
