Here’s a video with DC driver of the Chevy Equinox fuel cell on ABC yesterday http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7392808.
We love this commercial! So true.
With Earth Day right around the corner on Wednesday, April 22, we thought we would remind you that keeping the environment like new is a priority at Todd Wenzel. We were only given one ecosystem and we all have to work together to help it survive for generations to come. Responsibility using vehicles is one step to helping. We give you suggestions to kick off your EcoDriving routine that is supported by many Governors, and we hope you will join us in following them. Not only will the air you breathe feel a little fresher, you will save an average of 15 cents per gallon by giving these tips a chance. Do it for the environment. And if nothing else, do it for your pocketbook.
- Plan your trips with a navigation system or map out your drive.
- Instead of the warm-up, your car really only needs 30 seconds before you drive.
- Avoid sudden starts – accelerate and brake gently.
- 60 mph is the optimal speed. For every 5 miles above 60 you push, you spend 20 cents more per increment.
- Air conditioning should be used if you travel between 60 and 40 mph. Over or under this speed you should let fresh air flow through your vehicle.
- Keep your tires inflated.
- Read your owner’s manual so you are aware of your car’s capabilities.
- Use recommended motor oil.
- Be sure to keep up-to-date with oil changes and engine tune-ups.
- Replace air filters frequently.
- Make sure the gas cap is on all the way.
- Remove access or unneeded weight from your vehicle.
We will have these videos playing at both the Hudsonville Secretary of State and the Centerpointe Mall Secretary of State on the televisions to help make your wait more enjoyable.
It’s about that time to head out on the road to your favorite location for Spring Break vacation. Whether you’re headed to Laguna Beach with your friends or Malibu with the kids, these ideas are sure to keep you entertained during any long road trip. For some, the driver may want to simply supervise so as to keep everyone in the vehicle arriving at your destination safely.
1. One person starts a story and stops in mid sentence. The next person finishes the sentence and adds more to the story. By the end of the story, everyone in the car has contributed and the story has taken lots of twists and turns.
2. Root and cheer for firetrucks.
3. Roll down your windows while talk radio is blasting. Attempt to headbang.
4. Two words: Chicken suit.
5. Write down the numbers from the license plates. Add up the numbers to see who gets the highest number.
6. Have a 90’s flashback with Cootie catchers.
7. Say five random letters of the alphabet. Come up with a silly sentence with words that start with those letters. “K” “O” “R” “S” “E” could be Keep On Resting Silly Eagle. This game can be a license plate game, too. Take the first five or six letters you see on license plates and use them.
8. Wave at people often.
9. Stop at rest stops. That is what they are there for. Take a ball or Frisbee with you in the car and take a breather when you reach one.
10. Play “I Spy” in Pig Latin.
11. Stop at a convenience store and pick up snacks that are unusual or that no one riding in the car has had before.
12. Squeegee your windshield at every stop.
13. Drive off an exit ramp and ask for directions to the town you’re in. When they tell you you’re there, look confused, glance at your map, laugh, and exclaim, “Oh! Wrong state!”
14. Above all, make sure you record your memories with a video camera of some sort. Please remember batteries.

Just Announced: GM Total Confidence Plan – giving you something you can trust in a world where trust seems next to impossible. According to a press release from GM:
- Payment protection for the first 24 months of ownership…lose your income and they’ll make up to nine payments for up to $500 per month
- Finance a new GM vehicle and they will help protect its retail value at trade-in time on your next GM vehicle
- Safety and security of one year of OnStar standard
- Fully backed, 5 year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty with roadside assistance and courtesy transportation…provides the best coverage in the industry
- www.GMconfidence.com website launched with program details
In other words, the Total Confidence Plan will give you payment protection on any new GM vehicle you purchase for up to 9 months. That means if you lose your job – which hopefully wouldn’t happen but does all too often these days – they’ll make your payments, up to $500 a month. They’ll help protect your vehicles retail value at trade in time, so you’ll be sure to get what the car is really worth. You will be backed with the 5 year/100,000 mile power train warranty, so you’ll know your vehicle will keep running smoothly like the day you brought it home. And for safety and security you’ll get a year of OnStar.
It is clear that GM is ready to make a comeback, to re-invent the entire company, and with your trust they’ll be able to do it. Their motto is, “We can do this, if we all start thinking differently.” That’s why they’re offering you the GM Total Confidence Plan. They’re re-inventing the ownership experience. They are giving you assurance to keep GM in mind and to give them your loyalty.
Best said from GM: Protect your paycheck. Protect your investment. Protect your vehicle. And protect your family.
Help GM re-invent and comeback. Trust them with the Total Confidence Plan.
