Dam! you made me get off my couch to go out the the garage to look at the filter box in the trash can. And I missed a minute or two of Bike Week on Speed Vision. All for a beer. Dam, Im stumped.

 

Dammit, I should have never left the chair to go upstairs to the Knowsalot Icon divsion.

At least I found the Icon.

Brothers Frank and Perry Remy founded the Remy Electric Co. The Brothers Remy were the first to build dynamos and magnetos, which were used instead of batteries for ignition in early vehicles. later bought by dayton electrical company (delco)

The honeymoon ends between Albert Champion and his investors. The investors pull out of the deal and keep the Champion name. (Ouch.)

Albert Champion, still the competitor, joins forces with Buick Motor Co. The two make beautiful spark plugs together for the AC Spark Plug Division. Guess where they got the name.

Here comes The General. United Motors Corp (UMC). is formed by Alfred P. Sloan - the man who would eventually become president and then chairman of GM. UMC eventually absorbs Buick and AC Spark Plug, and later merges with Chevrolet to form General Motors. That same year, UMC forms United Motors Service Inc. (UMS), to sell and service parts made by the company.

Worse than that. I am like Pavlovs Dog. After the mention of a beer.... I had to get off the couch AGAIN and get a beer out of the fridge. But there were NONE!! So I had to go out to the dam garage AGAIN to the backup beer fridge. Luckily there was a Heinekin in the front row! I missed another minute of Bike Week.
