Jay Leno is a household name, and it has been that way for the better part of this twenty-seven year old's life.  Even when ousted by later-night fellow Conan O'Brien, the fans wouldn't rest; soon enough, Leno was back in primetime (sadly shoving my Irish brethren to the side!).  Chances are you know Jay Leno, and if you know the name you probably know he's an avid car collector, too.

Since its initial unveiling, one of selling points of the 40-mile gas-free Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid electric vehicle was carpool lane usage.  It may seem silly to us in Vermont where the term "carpool lane" means the same as I-89, but in highly congested areas this is a deal maker or breaker... and it seems General Motors is soon to allow future Volt buyers to cash the check written during the early Volt news days…

This just in, courtesy of Politico.com, a "living diary of the Obama presidency." Apparently he got his first taste of a fully loaded Chevy Volt and loved it. What's more, he claims he'll have one in five years.

Are you tired of having to search online for the auto part or car and truck accessory you need?  Does it bother you that, being such a popular vehicle, the 2012 Silverado 1500 you purchased looks just like your buddy's, your neighbor's, and Joe Schmoe's?  Is looking for new snow tires or all season tires the less preferred alternative to getting your teeth pulled?

If you said yes to any one (or…

Without question or debate, alternative fuels and hybrid technology are not only becoming more sought after in the new & used Chevy vehicle world but more imperative in the grand scheme of the automotive industry.  With the Toyota Prius starting a fast-growing trend, Chevrolet followed suit with a range of hybrid vehicles such as the Malibu Hybrid, the upcoming Malibu Eco, the Silverado Hybrid, the Tahoe Hybrid, and so forth.  But as great as hybrid technology is and will become the end game is simple:  fossil fuels are finite and as such we're operating on borrowed time.

Enter new technologies…

Since we're in February in VT here at Handy Chevrolet of St. Albans and it has historically been one of the coldest months of the year here (although, and forgive me for jinxing it, this year's been mild compared to others), we thought we would give you a winter driver's safety tip blog to get you through to March and April when the (oh-so-looked-forward-to) thaw finally arrives with the birds and luscious green foliage.

When I was sixteen years old, I thought sloshing through puddles was excellent fun.  It sounds kind of silly 11 years later, but I vividly remember taking my 1991 Camry, my first car, and slowly getting more and more rambunctious as I toppled deeper and deeper puddles.  My favorite spot, in fact, was right here in St. Albans, Vermont over by Bellows Free Academy:  down at the corner of Catherine Street and Stebbins Street where…
