Six of Our Favorite Chevrolet's Print Ad

There was a time when the page of a magazine or a section of a newspaper page were all you were given to show the value of your project.  While that may not seem like much nowadays, Chevrolet still managed to make an art of it.  Here are 6 of our favorite examples: 

                                                                      1925

Healthy Snacks For When On The Road



                                             


Nuts
Peanuts, pistachios, walnuts, almonds or seeds, such as pumpkin or sunflower, are good combinations of healthy fats and protein. Although nuts are packed full of protein, fiber and healthy fats, keep portions small: Just 14 almonds or 20 pistachios equals 100 calories. Also keep sodium levels in check by choosing unsalted varieties.

                               


Energy Bars
Consider replacing your favorite candy bar with an energy or granola bar to boost your protein and fiber intake while avoiding the sugar trap.

                                    


Trail Mixes
Trail mix is a quick and easy make-at-home snack that will keep well in a storage container with lid. Combine granola, raw nuts and seeds, and dried fruits for a basic trail mix.

                            


Sandwiches
Sandwiches can be a quick and easy way to keep hunger at bay while adding some good protein and hearty grains to your daily nutrition. Sandwiches prepared with lean meats may need to be placed in a cooler. Other options such as peanut butter (or any other nut butter) and jelly on whole grain bread can be kept at room temperature.

Quick Guide: How to avoid getting car dents




It usually happens when you least expect it to. As you are walking up to your car you notice something that wasn’t there before when you parked your car. For something that happens in just seconds, car dents and scratches take a lot of time and money to get rid of. Car dents and scratches are an inevitable part of parking in public spaces. So we came up with a few different ways you can help avoid damages.
1.      Keep a look out for slanted parking lots - Most drivers are able to accurately park straight when the parking lines are slanted. This also helps avoid tight squeezes between cars.
2.      Keep your distance – Choose to park at the end of the lot as much as you can. A little bit of walking never hurt anyone.
3.       Keep a safety cushion – This is leaving enough amount of space between you and the car in front of you while driving on the road. Many car dents that occur often happen due to people driving on each other’s tail.
4.      Keep your garage area clear – If you park in a garage at home, make sure that the space is cleared so that nothing can fall over or scratch your vehicle by rubbing against it as you pull in.
5.      Parallel Parking – Believe it or not, parallel parking is the safest way to park!
6.      Parking under hardwood trees – This should be something you should avoid.  Sadly, trees can easily dent and scratch your vehicle.
7.      Parking next to larger vehicles – Trucks and SUV’s equal large doors.
8.      Neglected vehicles – When parking next to a vehicle that doesn’t seem to be well maintained, think of it this way: If the owner doesn’t care about their car, they won’t care about yours.
9.      Used one space, one space only – Never park over two parking spaces- people could vandalize your vehicle due to frustration.
