Chevy VOLT - set to debut in November 2010 GM has announced a fun contest to allow consumers to NAME the official Signature Color for the new Chevy VOLT extended range Electric Vehicle that will debut in November 2010. Since the winter of 2007 when General Motors unveiled the VOLT concept vehicle, the public has been given a unique 'inside' look at the development of this ground breaking vehicle. Now, as the actual start-of-production draws near, GM is inviting you to help name the VOLT's signature color. This color has already been used on auto show and press preview models - but it has never been officially named.

IIHS Crash Test The great reviews for the 2010 Chevy Equinox just keep rolling in. Recently the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) issued it's TOP SAFETY PICK rating for the all-new 2010 Chevy Equinox based on its complete crash testing of the new model.  To qualify for Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of good in the Institute's front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with electronic stability control. Criteria to win are tough because the award is intended to drive continued safety improvements such as top crash test ratings and the rapid addition of electronic stability control, which is standard on the Equinox. "Recognizing vehicles at the head of the class for safety helps consumers distinguish the best overall choices without having to sort through multiple test results," says Institute president Adrian Lund. 

Oh Deer, Tell us your story!

While reading an article the other day on Autoblog (this one: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/29/oh-buck-study-says-deer-automobile-accident-rate-up-by-18-ove/) it got me thinking about the topic of driving around Fairfield County and the number of deer we have.

Now as I used to live in Ridgefield, I will admit to once hitting a deer ON MAIN STREET at about 9pm during the winter months one year. MAIN STREET!! He came right out of an alley and I tagged him front and center with my front bumper at about 10 mph. Stunned (both he and I) he got back up and ran down another alley. I got out of the car, checked the front end only to find I had cracked a front headlight. I was lucky!

My brother has hit AT LEAST THREE deer on the Merrit Parkway in the same Trailblazer. He swears the front brush guard has saved his life and I don't doubt it though it may have helped kill Bambi (sorry animal lovers).
