Chevrolet is the New NASA

     I had just turned 8 years old and my parents were letting me stay up late on July 20, 1969 and watch as Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon with his famous quote, "This is one small step for man one giant leap for mankind." 

     Now fast forward 42 years I'm driving home from work in the all new Chevrolet Volt, the most advanced automobile on the road today. General Motors has invested over 800 Million dollars in the engineering of this spectacular vehicle.  Why? You ask would they spend that much to design and engineer one car? 
     Because the Volt is a game changer it is no different then when John F Kennedy said that we were going to be the first on the moon, he said it because he believed in America, he believed that if we can Dream it we can Achieve it.  Detroit-Hamtramck  is where the Chevrolet Volt is built. In the heart of American Manufacturing,  the home of the Automobile Detroit. 
     The Chevrolet Volt is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the American worker. 

     This Summer alone the owners of the Chevrolet Volt have driven over 6 million miles without using a drop of gasoline.  General Motors Dreamed it, their engineers and production staff built it, and I am proud to say that I get to sell it.  Come by and see me at Harold Chevrolet Buick and take this marvelous machine for a test drive.  It's almost as exciting as sitting on that couch watch that lunar module touch down, and you get to be in the drivers seat this time.

What Color are your Tires?

     I remember when I was growing up every kid in my neighborhood had a BMX Bicycle, and we would ride all day long it was our ticket to freedom. I will never forget the day that Matt Markey came home with a new set of tires for his BMX and they were RED.  Every kid on the block was GREEN with envy when he put them on his bike, this was the beginning of the original PIMP MY RIDE how to personalize your own bike when they all look the same.

     Fast forward almost 40 years and I'm standing in my service department looking at Colored Tires it brings back those memories of our tricked out BMX's but this time it has a whole new meaning.  What Dave Fredrickson has done is painted the tires to reflect tread wear and what condition your tires are actually in.

GREEN= They are good to go, this indicates optimal tread depth.

YELLOW = You Might have some reduced performance in Rain or snow.

RED = These tires are unsafe and it is time to replace them.

Dealer Buys Local Cars For Cash



      I was sitting at home a few nights ago watching one of my favorite shows Pawnstars, a reality show based at a Las Vegas Pawn shop you get to watch people bring in all kinds of classic personal stuff and sell it to these guys. 



Here is a picture we took of Chumley
When we went to Visit him at
Gold and Silver Pawn Shop Las Vegas

 The part of the show that intrigued me the most was when people would sell their personal belongings for cash real cash $100 Bills.  I thought to myself why don't I just offer to buy peoples cars for cash so i had this sign made up and wouldn't you know it people actually came in and sold me their cars for cash.  So if you have a car laying around don't want to bother with selling it on your own, having people come to your house at all hours of the day wanting to take your car out for a joy ride?  Come by and see me Joe Hysong The Dealer for the People. You'll See why Harold Says Yes!
