July Newsletter

July is Here


As we head into the hottest months of the summer, let us enjoy the fresh air and sunlight. We finally have a sense of normalcy returning, though there is a long way to go before things are truly "normal" again. While we are happy to see people returning to parks and activities, let us not forget to maintain CDC guidelines in order to keep our vulnerable populations safe. Now is a great time to enjoy the outdoors, whether it be by going for a hike or sitting outside with a friend.

New addition to The Petty Motorworks Team


I would like to take a moment to welcome Joe Peragine our team.  I have know Joe for over 20 years so when he became available due to some Covid-19 layoffs it was a no brainer to try and get him to join our team.  Joe began his automotive career at the age of 17 and quickly discovered his passion for fixing cars. Joe attended Lincoln Technical School while working at at small family owned shop just like ours and it was at this shop, under the tutelage of the shop owner that he gained the experience needed to pursue his career. To this day he still stays in contact with them and admires how they helped him grow into the technician that he is today.  Later on, when he decided to move to the shore he worked for several dealer but wanted to return to his roots of working in the community at a local service station and shortly thereafter secured a job working for Bob Stohrer at Manahawkin Shell and Quality Tire for over 22 years. Joe is an ASE Master Certified Technician with many years of experience under his belt. Joe also has a passion for classic cars and enjoys racing his 1972 650HP Camaro at Atco Raceway. 
Joe has been married to his wife Chris for 31 years and is very proud of his two sons, both serving our country in the U.S. Coast Guard. We are very excited to have Joe on the Petty Motorworks Team!

Fun Facts

Fun Facts 



Fact: Only a quarter of the Sahara Desert is sandy


Most of it is covered in gravel, though it also contains mountains and oases. Oh, and it isn’t the world’s largest desert—Antarctica is. 


Fact: Dogs sniff good smells with their left nostril

Dogs normally start sniffing with their right nostril, then keep it there if the smell could signal danger, but they’ll shift to the left side for something pleasant.


Fact: No number before 1,000 contains the letter A

Some of these fun facts will have you counting.


Fact: Theodore Roosevelt had a pet hyena

Its name was Bill and was a present from the Ethiopian emperor. Roosevelt was famous for his many pets, including a one-legged rooster, a badger, a pony, and a small bear.


Fact: Cap’n Crunch’s full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch

He’s also been called out for only having the bars of a Navy commander, but the so-called cap’n held his ground on Twitter, arguing that captaining the S. S. Guppy with his crew “makes an official Cap’n in any book!”


Fact: The CIA headquarters has its own Starbucks, but baristas don’t write names on the cups

Its receipts say “Store Number 1” instead of “Starbucks,” and its workers need an escort to leave their work posts. 


Fact: Humans aren’t the only animals that dream

Studies have indicated rats dream about getting to food or running through mazes. Most mammals go through REM sleep, the cycle in which dreams occur, so scientists think there’s a good chance they all dream. 


Fact: The inventor of the microwave appliance only received $2 for his discovery

Percy Spencer was working as a researcher for American Appliance Company (now Raytheon) when he noticed a radar set using electromagnetic waves melted the candy bar in his pocket. He had the idea to make a metal box using microwaves to heat food, but the company was the one to file the patent. He received a $2 bonus but never any royalties. 


Fact: Sloths have more neck bones than giraffes

Despite physical length, there are more bones in the neck of a sloth than a giraffe. There are seven vertebrae in the neck of giraffes, and in most mammals, but there are ten in a sloth. 


Fact: Bees can fly higher than Mount Everest

Bees can fly higher than 29,525 feet above sea level, according to National GeographicThat’s higher than Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.
