2016 Chevrolet Volt Helps Raise Funds for STEM Education

Chevrolet Raises Funds for STEM Education With 2016 Volt

DURAND, Mich. –– In an effort to continue its support for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs across the nation, Chevrolet is raising funds for STEM education with a 2016 Volt donated to FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).

FIRST, a K–12 robotics program committed to strengthening and growing STEM programs in the U.S., will auction the 2016 Chevrolet Volt and use the funds raised to improve STEM education in communities struggling to maintain and expand their programs. The new Volt is an appropriate Chevy vehicle to be auctioned considering it's the automaker's most advanced electric vehicle, capable of en EPA-estimated electric range of 53 miles––learn more here.

"The Volt exemplified technology, and behind the next-generation Chevrolet Volt is a diverse team of engineers who understand the power of science and math," said Chevrolet Marketing Director Steve Majoros. "FIRST brings science and math alive outside the classroom, just like we are bringing it alive on the road."

As a Founding and Strategic Partner to FIRST, General Motors has a history of working in association with FIRST teams. After partnering with 866 FIRST teams that totaled 10,000 students across the country in 2014, it makes sense that GM would would be generous enough to raise funds for STEM education with a 2016 Chevrolet Volt at auction.

The future of the automotive industry, and STEM roles in society in general, rests in the minds of today's youth. Companies like GM are taking the initiative to ensure young minds are equipped with the essential knowledge to continue technological and engineering progress by expanding opportunities in STEM education programs in America.

4 Insane 2016 Camaro Editions Chevrolet Unveiled at SEMA

DURAND, Mich. –– Car enthusiasts around the world were revved up for the entire first week of November as automakers rolled out some of the most creative editions of their vehicles imaginable at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, but there's no doubt these four insane 2016 Camaro editions Chevrolet unveiled at SEMA stole the show.

Camaro Hyper

As the name suggests, this Camaro is, indeed, hyper. Whether the name is more an allusion to the Hyper Blue paint Chevy used for the body color or to this sixth-generation muscle car's agility is something we'll let you decide

Camaro Black

Like the burnout marks it's ready to leave on the first stretch of highway it sees, this dangerous looking Camaro SS coupe is as black as black gets––with exception to its red LED headlamps.

Camaro Performance

As Camaro Blacks more innocent twin, Camaro Performance gives you glimpse at Chevy's softer side. But don't underestimate this SS coupe's innocent look; it's still ready for someone to open the throttle.

Camaro Krypton

No, not kryptonite, but possibly just as cool. As Chevy puts it, "Krypton is one of the six noble gases and is used to help illuminate fluorescent lights." Other than looking like the vehicle version of a superhero, this Camaro's special power can be found in the electroluminescent bow-tie graphics that glow on the sides of the body.

It would be difficult to get your hands on the steering wheel of any of these four insane 2016 Camaro editions Chevrolet unveiled at SEMA, and it's almost painful to face that fact. But at least we have the privilege of offering a great selection of 2015 Chevy Camaros and other new Chevy cars at our Fenton area Chevrolet dealer.

How to Avoid Traffic During Your Thanksgiving Travels

DURAND, Mich. –– Are you planning on making an across-state or out-of-state trip for turkey this Thanksgiving? If so, you’ll want to know the best times are to travel in order to avoid heavy traffic congestion.

Last year, AAA released an estimate that said over 46 million people were traveling for Thanksgiving, and that number likely won’t go down this November. Before you hit the road for a feast on Turkey Day, make sure you know how to avoid traffic during your Thanksgiving travels using some insightful data compiled by Google last year.

Don’t travel on Wednesday.

The day before Thanksgiving may seem like an optimal time to travel, but that’s exactly why you should avoid making a trip on Wednesday. Most people consider it a great day to head out because they want to finish up at work and still get to their destination before Thanksgiving Day. This results in millions of families hitting the road between 3 and 5 p.m., leading to traffic congestion. If you have to travel on Wednesdays, make your trip earlier or later in the day.

Do travel on Thursday.

It may not seem ideal to travel on Thanksgiving Day, but rest assured it’s the best day to make a trip without running into any traffic. Plus, if you leave early on Thursday you won’t have any problem arriving on time for turkey.

Head home on Sunday.

If not on Friday, many families drive home from their Thanksgiving destinations on Saturday, which Google says can be 40% worse for traffic congestion. If you want to save yourself from a headache, consider staying where you are an extra day and head home on Sunday.

Knowing how to avoid traffic during your Thanksgiving travels is important, but there are other factors involved in having a comfortable trip to your Turkey Day destination.

Find out what the weather will be like on your trip. Knowing what to expect will help you make decisions in regards to what interstates you take or whether you should expect traffic.
Plan your route ahead of time so you’re familiar with where construction is taking place or where the busiest roads are, both of which could elongate your travel time.
Have some sort of towing or roadside assistance contact information you can reference in the event you’re vehicle brakes down.
Check that your vehicle is ready for the drive. Use our fall driving tips to see what steps you can take to prepare your vehicle, or stop by our Fenton area Chevrolet dealer to find out what auto service your vehicle may be in need of.

We're always finding new ways to help our customers have great driving experiences, and sharing a few tips that could make your Thanksgiving travels safe and comfortable is just one example. Hank Graff Chevrolet Durand is also revolutionizing the car buying experience. We provide all the transparency and customer service you need, while simultaneously making your purchase experience fun!
