OK, so last week, we got another Benzo at the dealership, the general manager got a few of them and was passing them out to us techs. A couple of the younger guys like it, the older guys don't care for it at all.
Besides the point I guess.
It's dated February 2003. I would think it would have 2 months listed (like"Jan/Feb 2003") if it were bi-monthly. It does state inside, where all the editors and stuff are printed, that it's published bi-monthly (and says "6 times a year" after that, hey, thanks, I wondered what "bi-monthly" meant exactly).
Interestingly, on that same page, there is a article heading stating "Rolling out the car mag V.2". By "V.2" I assumed there would be some type of admission that they had a bad or false start with "Benzo" earlier this year. Nope. I could find no type of explaination for the V.2, and they just explain pretty much the same thing as in the "V.1" Benzo about what the magazine is all about, even referring to this "V.2" copy as the "premier" issue. To me the "premier issue" is the "first" issue, not "V.2".
The issue itself is no great improvement.
I don't have my "V.1" copy anymore, but there is the article about the Guard S500 that I SWEAR was in V.1, same pictures for sure (3 models, a chic chick and 2 poser "body guards" looking like she's probably the wife of a drug lord in Venezuelia or something) (yes I know that's a typo, sorry). There's an article about a 560SEC with a CIS 119 motor in it that one of the guys thought was in V.1 also.
And our favorite "Yo, dig it" wench wrench is back, Donna Carlyle. No credit on the end this time to Donnie or whoever it was that was answering the questions in V.1. Hey, is he still doing the answering or not? Inquiring minds want to know! Same pictures as last time. Yo, Donna! Button up yer shirt, you'll stay a little cleaner that way, and put on some work boots, insurance ain't gonna pay for the workmans comp claim if you drop a rotor on those tennis shoes, dig it?
