So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

An Introduction To The Chevy Astro

By Andy Zain

The Chevy Astro was a popular line of minivans from Chevrolet. The product was conceived in 1985 and underwent a number of redesigns until the final of an inline was constructed and sold in 2005. These minivans remain popular still, not only because they are considerably cheaper to buy second-hand now, but they also have a history of reliability and safety.

During the lifespan of this particular range of vehicles, things were somewhat different in many respects to how they are today. Firstly, minivans were considered to be crude utility vehicles with little emphasis on comfort and extra features that you would normally expect in a family vehicle.

Little emphasis was placed on comfort and ease of use. The vehicles were designed to be reliable and practical, to transport large quantities of goods around for several people. However, the latest models in the range started to come in during the new era of more comfortable minivans with an abundance of extra features that you would usually have only got before him high and family cars for example.

However, the Chevy Astro always for filled the basic requirements, and remained a decent and respectable product. It also has a large amount of storage space but this varies a little with the model. Nonetheless, the rear seats could be removed, allowing the storage of up to 170 cubic feet. Certain models could also accommodate its passengers in the back.

The passenger seat in the back of the vehicle could also be easily removed, allowing for an enormous 170 cubic feet of available storage space. This made a vehicle very versatile unusable for all sorts of different scenarios, whether you are moving large amounts of furniture, or a large amount of people.

For those who need a reliable minivan to get around and transport large quantities of things, one can pick up a Chevrolet Astro from around 1990 for about $1000. Nonetheless, the latest models from 2005 may cost up to 10 times that, but then they do have a lot of extra features and an enhanced record of safety and reliability.

Over its lifespan, the Chevrolet Astro has not changed a great deal although there have been some fairly noteworthy developments during the history of this product. Most of these developments have improved safety and reliability and there have been certain aspects of redesigning with regards to the interior and exterior.

The 1995 redesign also gave the Astro and improved and more modern look, especially with regards to the exterior. The next year spread of this facelift into the interior as well, bringing a new dashboard with some improved controls and an abundance of extra features.
