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

Strong Men Fancy Chevrolet Pickup-trucks For More Than One Reason

By Babe Watson

Chevrolet states in its latest advertising campaigns that it is "A Legacy Built On Dependability." This is so true when you consider the Chevy truck. In 2008, Chevy introduced three new truck models to the world. That is why the Avalanche, Colorado, and Silverado are the best trucks in their class. Check out Chevy auto parts online to see what is available.



Tough guys don't want a puny pick-up. They demand a tough truck that can take on the roughest country dirt roads. With its solidly built truck body, the Silverado is an obvious choice. It has been said that Chevy owners are so confident of the durability of their trucks, that their Chevy truck would be a perfect inheritance for future generations to come. This Chevy truck is packed with excellent features such as plush seats, power steering, and a huge towing capacity. Silverado's powerful 6.6L V8Turbo diesel with a six-speed automatic transmission can take on any rough roads or terrain while also providing a smooth highway drive. The cab's rear door is able to swing open an amazing 170-degrees. For hauling things in the back seat, this makes it really easy to reach everything in the cab.

For guys who love sporty vehicles, you can't beat the versatility of the Chevy Avalanche. What sportier truck enthusiasts love about it is that it is so flexible. Most obvious is the innovative system to make the truck bed longer. What happens is that the rear seats fold down, rear glass removes, and the midgate system drops down. Essentially it turns it from a crew cab short bed to a two door long bed pickup. After the midgate is folded down, you could even use the rear bed as a comfortable sleeping quarter if necessary. Outdoor enthusiasts really love the sporty flexibility of this midgate feature. Mountaineers will love it, because they can put two tents in the truck bed without having to pitch a base camp tent.

Environmentally conscious truck drivers will love to have a fuel-saving truck that can also same performance. It helps that now you can find the Chevy's mid-sized truck running on a smaller 3. 5L I5 engine. Surprisingly enough, this particular truck was designed with the help of Isuzu automobile engineers. The truck sports a lot of great features that makes for a comfortable ride.

Trucks usually haul cargo in long trips so Chevrolet also made entertainment and information connectivity a top priority for new truck owners. Equipped with CD/MP3 entertainment and state-of-the-art Radio Data System compatible radio systems, Chevy outdoes itself. Avalanches now have a navigation radio built in.

GM actually now uses a new technology that can save on gas. It is called the Active Fuel Management system. This innovative technology switches the engine from 8 cylinder to a more fuel efficient 4 cylinder mode for times when there is not much need for lots of power. The truck's on-board computer does everything automatically as you drive to switch between the modes.

Chevrolet let the world know that it was dedicated to changing the status quo when it came to environmental issues and their trucks. They incorporated the latest E85 ethanol blended fuel technology into their latest truck models. There are many benefits to burning ethanol. Ethanol is much more efficient when it comes to the gases that come out the tailpipe when compared to gasoline made from refined petroleum only. Climate change is becoming an issue that the auto industry can no longer ignore and Chevrolet is truly creating an "American Revolution" in terms of changing the status quo in Detroit.

Chevy trucks these days are tough and environmentally friendly. It doesn't have to be one or the other. If you don't have a reliable truck, check out what Chevy is doing nowadays. You will be amazed at what they are offering in a new truck. Being tough and being smart are not different things, when it comes to buying a Chevy truck, they go hand in hand. Consider the new features and how it can improve your life... once you do that, you will be holding the keys to a new Chevy truck.
