10 things I bet you didn't know about GENERAL MOTORS....

1. Founded by a Carriage Maker named Crapo

General Motors was founded in 1908 by William C. Durant.  Durant founded GM with only $2,000 in capital.

2. GM's Logo: Mark of Excellence

In 1966, GM introduced a decal on the door jambs of its vehicles, with the phrase "Mark of Excellence."

3. Who Owns GM?

GM is a publicly traded company, with about 610.5 million shares outstanding. Today, ~91% of GM stocks are held by institutions.

4. GM Built War Machines for the Allied Forces ...

During World War II, GM led the largest commercial-to-military war production effort in American history. In 1942, the company converted all of factories to produce $12 billion worth of airplanes, trucks, tanks, guns, and shells for the US military. No other company delivered as much material to the Allied forces

5. ... and the Nazi

Adolf Hitler knew that he had to have an industrial partner to make military vehicles and weapons. And that partner wouldn't be Daimler or any other German automakers - the largest automobile manufacturer in German (actually, all of Europe) was General Motors.

6. GM Helped Build the First Car That Went Out of This World: The Lunar Rover

GM designed and built the mobility system for the Lunar Roving Vehicle, AKA the Lunar Rover or (my favorite) the Moon Buggy. The rover was first successfully used during the Apollo 15 mission.

7. Big in ... China!

GM's sales may have taken a nosedive in the United States, but it has become the top-selling foreign automaker in China. Chinese consumers snapped up more Buick cars in 2007 than any other automobiles by foreign car makers

8. Birth of the United Auto Workers

GM is inextricably linked with the birth of the United Auto Workers union. In December 1936, the fledgeling union staged a daring sit-down strike at GM's plant in Flint, Michigan.

9. GM's Car Troubles: Whose Fault Is It?

Many people blame the union. On average, Detroit union auto workers earn about $75 per hour (salary and benefits as well as the legacy costs of health care and pension costs of retired union workers). It all adds up to about an extra $2,000 to the car's cost. Strict work rules and job classifications led to thousands of redundant factory jobs

10. GM "Firsts"

Despite its current precarious financial troubles, GM had a long history of innovation and technological "firsts." To end on a (more) positive note, here are but a few of General Motors' achievements:
  • First V-8 Engine (1914, a 70 horsepower engine for the Cadillac)
  • First room air conditioner (remember to thank Frigidaire, then a GM subsidiary, who came up with the brilliant device in 1929)
  • First barrier impact and rollover tests (1934).
  • First concept car, the legendary Buick Y Job in 1938.
  • First fully automatic transmission (the Hydra-Matic in 1939).
  • First to put turn signals as standard-equipments on its cars (1939)
  • First mechanical heart pump (1952, built for Dr. Forest Dodrill by the GM Research Laboratory. The story is fascinating.)
  • First company to make $1 billion a year (in 1955)
  • First hydrogen fuel cell car (the 1966 Electrovan). After the project was scrapped because it was cost prohibitive, GM tried to give the Electrovan to the Smithsonian Institute. They refused the vehicle because they'd never heard of fuel cells before ...
  • First Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) in 1972.
  • First Electronic Fuel Injection (1979)

Just to add some humor into you day...

FUNNY JOKES ABOUT CARS:
You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
Seeking eye contact with another driver revokes your right of way.
Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to insure that your antilock braking system. kicks in to give you a nice relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates.
A careful driver is one who has just spotted a speed camera.

FUN FACTS ABOUT CARS:
On average there is about 3,000 feet of electrical wiring in every car.
Car airbags explode at 200 miles per hour.
The city with the most Rolls Royce's per capita is Hong Kong.
On average a human being spends two weeks of their entire lives waiting for traffic lights to change.
The 1st automobile racetrack in the US was the Indianapolis Motor Speedway which consists of 3 million cobblestones.
In 1916, 55 percent of the cars in the world were Model T Fords, a record that has never been beaten.
The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At the time, the most known player on the market was the Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola.

Take a tour around the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu

Take a tour around one of our 2009 Chevrolet Malibu!  With its recent new design the Chevrolet Malibu has been turning heads.  Under the hood, a Chevrolet Malibu comes in either a 4 or 6 cylinder and from experience the 6 cylinder delivers a better ride with minimal loss in MPG.  With its large trunk and spacious seating the Chevy Malibu is no compact car.  All around the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu has been a great buy for many of our customers.  Take a tour by clicking below.

So I was thinking the other day....When really is the "right" time to buy a car?

....There is always a "RIGHT" time to buy!

                                              Theories we came up with
  • Find a dealership that has a large inventory in need of unloading some cars.
  • If you're willing to buy the current year's model rather than next year's, you can save some dough.
  • If there is a car sale....GO TO IT! :)
  • Visit a dealership at the beginning of the week...Salespeople are EAGER to work with you!
  • Pack Your Dinner- and negotiate a price your comfortable at.
  • When a specific model has been redesigned and the old models on a dealerships lot are no longer in high demand - that's the time to snap up some bargains.


BOTTOM LINE: Like all other aspects of the car buying experience, timing is everything.

Why's everyone talking about the Kia Soul? What's SO COOL about it?


So what's all the hype about?  Is the Kia Soul really all that great?

You betcha...!

Kia offers the Soul in four trim levels. The base model starts at just over $13K, fitted with a 1.6L 122 hp engine. Upgrade to the Soul+ (Plus) and you get 400 more cc’s and 20 more horses. Going on to the Soul! (Exclaim) nets more toys: 18″ alloys, Bluetooth, sunroof and upgraded audio. Moving all the way to the Soul Sport (what . . . no punctuation?) adds a “sport-tuned suspension” and “unique front and rear fascias.” By now you’re pushing $18K, but that’s about as far as you can ride on the Soul train. COOL CAR FOR A GREAT PRICE EH?

All about the new 2011 BUICK REGAL


The new 2011 model year, the Buick Regal takes a much different tack than in years past. Based on the European Opel Insignia, the Regal is as much sport sedan as family sedan. Even with its chrome waterfall grille, the Regal's exterior styling is tastefully restrained. Inside it's the same theme, as the cabin reveals its European lineage via a clean and functional design aesthetic though splashes of metallic trim brighten things up a bit.

The Buick CXL comes standard with features like 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a power driver seat, heated front seats, a seven-speaker stereo (with CD/MP3 player, satellite radio, iPod/auxiliary audio jacks and steering-wheel-mounted controls) and Bluetooth connectivity. Options include a sunroof, rear parking sensors, a hard-drive-based navigation system with digital music storage, a nine-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system and a power passenger seat.

Engine choices consist of a 2.4-liter inline-4 with 182 horsepower and a turbocharged 2.0-liter worth 220 hp. And while most Regals will have a six-speed automatic transmission, a six-speed manual will be available with the turbocharged engine. The Regal is front-wheel drive, but a sportier GS model with all-wheel drive is also expected.

In reviews, we've found that the Regal's precise steering, responsive handling, well-shaped front seats and firm but compliant ride allow the car to live up to its sporting promises. With a curb weight of 3,600 pounds, though, the base engine is rather taxed despite its respectable output. The turbocharged mill is a better choice and provides effortless thrust whether tooling around town or jetting up a freeway on-ramp.
