Road trip season is here again! There’s no doubt about it: one
of the best parts of summer is hitting the road on an adventure. But
before you start your car and set out for unfamiliar horizons, make sure
you have these things checked off your to-do list.
1. Top off coolant. Seems pretty obvious, but many
forget this one! Make sure you stay cool out on the road and remember
to be proactive about air conditioning care to prevent future problems.
2. Refill windshield washer fluid. You’re bound to
gather a few hitchhikers like bugs and dust on your journey. Make sure
your windshield wiper fluid is topped off so you can deal with these
obstructions on-the-go.
3. Inspect your belts. As your car ages, belts
become dry and brittle. This is made worse by heat and the last thing
you want is to deal with a broken belt in the middle of your trip.
4. Check your tires. This is a good idea to do
regardless of season, definitely not just a summer must. The easiest
at-home method for this is performing the penny test.
5. Get your brakes checked out. Bring your car into our service department and let us take one final look before you head out! Even though you hope this summer never stops, you want your car to, eventually.
Where would you take the C7 Corvette Z51 on a spin if you were handed
the keys? With features like this, the possibilities are endless.
Introducing Chevrolet’s reminder to keep dreaming big.
- The technology is impressive without being excessive
- The interior is stunning
- Exterior styling appeals to all ages
- The torque in this thing! Its V8 engine chews up and spits out anything in its path
- The Z51 package means unmatched performance, unbeatable handling, and an overall 5-star driving experience
As the number of texting induced accidents rise, some states are passing laws making it illegal for you to be on your phone while you drive and it comes with a hefty fine.
- If you think your insurance premiums are high now, wait until your
insurance company hears that you caused the accident by texting. You
should notice an immediate rise in your premiums and in some cases you
may be dropped completely.
- Consider other people before you pick up your phone, not only do you
endanger the people around you but you put the people in the car with
you at extreme risk.
- The driver puts bikers and walkers at extreme risk when they aren’t even looking at the road.
- Hands free technology is widely available nowadays and not
outrageously expensive. If you simply must reply to someone at that
moment, do it without touching your phone.
Please drive responsibly.
