CALENDAR TO CHANGE TO MATCH VEHICLE MODEL YEARS

2016 STARTS MONDAY; 2017 COMING JANUARY 1st

With many 2016 vehicles already cooling their wheels on dealership lots, it's easy to forget that we're only slightly more than halfway through 2015.  

To alleviate the confusion between the calendar year and vehicle model years, the World Timetable Foundation (WTF) has proclaimed that, beginning this Monday, the calendar year will change to coincide with "car years."  

The Chevrolet Equinox (above)
derives its name from the time of year
when the sun skids along the equator and
then moves from this hemisphere
to that one, or vice-versa.

"So, on Monday, it becomes 2016," explained WTF spokesperson Biloxi Ferragamo. 

"Then on January 1st, we'll change to 2017. So next year at this time, it'll almost be 2018," said Ferragamo, adding, "If you're waiting for the '18 Civic Type R, now you only have to wait a year instead of three years. Isn't that great?" she squealed while furiously clapping her hands.  

"We think this will be a lot less confusing," said Ferragamo.
