Trivia Answer for Yesterday:
B: 1891
In 1891, engineer James Lambert was driving one of his inventions, an early gasoline-powered buggy, when he ran into a little trouble. The buggy, also carrying passenger James Swoveland, hit a tree root sticking out of the ground. Lambert lost control and the vehicle swerved and crashed into a hitching post. Both men survived, and suffered minor injuries.

🔈🚨Weaver's Employee Spotlight🚨🔈
We would like to introduce another member of our 3-person paint team, Dean Burkhart. Dean moved to Kansas City in 2009 and was looking for a facility that he would be able to stay at for a long time.

To him, Weaver’s Auto Center is a family, and full of comradery.
In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family. He loves the outdoors with his favorite things to do include hunting and fishing. His favorite vehicle is a Shelby Cobra, from any year.
