Bernie Moreno, who started his working life as a gopher at Automobile Magazine, is an example of how to succeed in the car business

Here are the particular impressive things Bernie Moreno did, and they are what the best overachievers do, and make it to the top, written by Jean Jennings, president and editor-in-chief of Automobile Magazine

"He immediately made himself invaluable. No matter what we asked Bernie to do, he had already assigned it to himself and finished it. He moved the cars from our sixth-floor parking area to the first floor after the No Parking Before 10 a.m. curfew. How nice that the editors could jump into spotless, gassed cars!

How did the radio presets just happen to be on my favorite channels? Bernie somehow figured out what every single editor liked and would reprogram every test car’s radio every single day based on that evening’s driver.

Once, before I left on vacation to Mexico, I found a sheet of paper on my desk, with my favorite swear words translated into Spanish for my use.

At age twenty-six, he took on the running of a Saturn store in Boston despite no dealership experience. It took him one year to make it the most profitable store in its owner’s portfolio. In 2005 he bought a failing Mercedes-Benz dealership in Cleveland. He started with about twenty employees, twelve of whom had left Boston to work for him. Of course, he turned it around and began systematically buying more dealerships.

Today, Bernie has about 800 employees (including the original dozen) and more than twenty-five stores. “One of the Best Places to Work,” says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. His many awards include Midwest Region Entrepreneur of the Year, Time Magazine/Ally Financial Dealer of the Year, and Northeast Ohio Hispanic Entrepreneur of the Year. Honored by Mercedes-Benz (Best of the Best seven years in a row), Porsche, General Motors, and the city of Cleveland, which named him Business Executive of the Year.

You can always count on an entertaining read and good points from an Ezra Dyer column, case in point, June 2014 Automobile magazine column

In advice to Subaru:
but it surely pains the gold-wheel loyalists that the latest and greatest Fuji Heavy Industries rally rocket will get dusted at the drag strip by an eight-year-old American station wagon

and Chrysler:
Stop being embarrassed by Dodge. Once upon a time, the Viper wore a Dodge logo and Dodge Rams roamed the earth. Now Dodge is treated like the Cousin Eddie of the family, and I don’t like it. You’re telling me that a Hemi Charger is a Dodge but a faster Hemi Charger is an SRT?

Read the full article at http://www.automobilemag.com/features/columns/1406-free-advice/

fyi, the word is out that the SRT brand was a failure, and the head of Fiat/Chrysler is killing it off, and that will go back to Dodge

In Louisville Kentucky an old gas station has been made into a restaurant and bar, gourmet pizza and local whiskey are specialities

Automobile Magazines 2014 All Stars picks, vs typical cars... (how the best compare with new autos for sale in general)

13% of most cars have a manual transmission,
but 60% of the best do.

77% of most cars have 4 doors
but only 50% of the best do

73% of most cars are blah blah blah Silver, Gray, or Black
but only 30% of the best are that boring

Ezra Dyer took a new Range Rover Sport Supercharged to a redneck mud race event, and that sort of hooniganism is why I love to read his articles

An amazing story, excerpted in Automobile Magazine, reminded me how damn good sports writers are

Villa Epecuén was a tourist village that was located in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Now abandoned, its ruins are found on the eastern shore of the Laguna Epecuén, about 4 miles north of the city of Carhué. Developed in the early 1920s, Epecuén was accessible from Buenos Airesby train. Tourism was well developed in as vacationers from Buenos Aires would seek the therapeutic salty waters of Lago Epecuén. At its height, the town had the capacity to accommodate 5,000 visitors.

On 10 November 1985, a storm surge caused by a rare weather pattern broke a nearby dam first, then the dike protecting the town. Rapidly made uninhabitable, the town saw the waters rise progressively, reaching up to 33 ft at its maximum. The village was never rebuilt.

At the time of the catastrophe, there were up to 280 businesses in Epecuén, including lodges, guesthouses, hotels, and businesses that 25,000 tourists visited between November and March, from the 1950s to the 1970s. The town reached a population of 1,500 inhabitants at its peak. The town now has a sole resident, Pablo Novak, who returned to his home 25 years after the flood waters receded.

I just learned that there is a biannual international competition for windshield repair and replacement technicians in the Belron company

This year it was held in Rome, May 21st and 22nd

The Belron group is the owner of the Autoglass company in Italy

Since its creation in 2000, the Best of Belron® competition has enabled Belron® to instil a one-way approach to fitting and repairing glass, known as ‘the Belron Way of Fitting’. This means customers can expect the same exceptional levels of service world wide, thanks to the constantly evolving processes, tools and materials we have developed over a hundred years.

Overall, we want to inspire and motivate every one of our technicians to achieve the same levels of excellence as our winning technician, and ultimately further benefit the millions of customers we serve each year.
