My first car: The reality of a college student

  As I looked forward to attending college in Texas, I knew as a freshman we were not allowed to have vehicles on campus. I saw no problem with this seeing that the town my university was located in could be missed with just a blink of an eye. The need for a car was obsolete. Until I needed to go to the city, grocery, or mall. Only one individual in my group of friends brought a vehicle to campus despite the rules. Having to rely on her and upper classmen became a drag and led to me begging for… Read More

Places missed on the ‘perfect’ Northeast road trip

  If you could take a road trip through any area of the U.S., where would you go? Recently, Chevrolet teamed with data scientist Randy Olsen to create the “perfect” road trip through various regions in the country. Certain regions include the Midwest, Northeast, West Coast, Texas, and Florida. While their maps certainly are efficient and have a fair share of entertaining landmarks, there simply isn’t enough mileage to cover everything. Previously, we covered notable places missed on the Lone Star State map. Today, we’ll venture into the Northeast U.S. region and check out which spots are worth the detour.… Read More

Places missed on the ‘perfect’ Texas road trip map

  There’s never enough time to see everything. Even on the best of vacations, usually there are at least a few spots that simply need to be missed due to time purposes. It’s something Chevrolet took into account when they partnered with prominent data scientist, Randy Olsen, in an attempt to create the ideal road trip for various regions across the U.S. Olsen made his mark by calculating the optimal route to take for traveling through all 48 of the U.S. mainland states.

What’s the perfect road trip? Chevrolet tries to find out

My perfect road trip was from southeast Texas to Crested Butte, Colorado. I was eight years old and my family planned our first ever ski trip, and decided to make a 16-hour drive to the Rockies instead taking a flight. To make our drive more enjoyable, my parents transformed the car into a miniature play zone/paradise, installing a portable TV and video games, and flattened the back seat out so we could fully stretch out our legs instead of having to sit the whole trip. The gesture turned our road trip into a memory we’ll remember for the rest of… Read More

My first car: The 1998 Volvo S70 that always seemed to weather the storm

  As a teenager with a busy after-school schedule, I waited eagerly for September 17, 2008 – my 16th birthday – to come so that I could finally get my driver’s license. My parents were ready, too; between choir practice, vocal lessons, dance team, basketball and church, it was practically a full-time job wheeling me around town. However, on that day, instead of celebrating with friends and family and being handed the keys to a car (big red bow included!), I found myself sitting in a restaurant with a sopapilla birthday cake – generator… Read More

The best Super Bowl car commercials of the decade

  Throughout the year, we all do what we can to avoid commercials. Usually, once the paid ads show up, we either hit the mute button, take a bathroom break, or maybe grab something from the kitchen. But one time out of the year, there’s an event where commercials are not only watched but anticipated – Super Bowl Sunday. The grand finale of the NFL season draws in over 100 million viewers each year, and advertisers make incredible investments to show off their products in front of this huge audience – few bigger than automakers putting the newest vehicle models… Read More
