Month: September 2009

Nearly a half-century ago, Ivan Schrodt caught something he hasn’t been able to shake to this day.

Centuries from now when archeologists unearth the remains of this civilization, we hope among the countless Prius statues they will find at least one 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.

A Corvette C6.R formerly raced by the Pratt & Miller Corvette Racing team perished in massive transporter fire. Chassis #003 was owned and run by Luc Alphand Aventures, a French-based GT1 motorsports team. The Corvette appeared at Le Mans this year but retired after a major crash. [More]

One of the many “celebrity” Corvettes making an appearance this weekend at the National Corvette Museum’s 15th Anniversary Celebration is GM’s Corvette Stingray Concept, better known as Sideswipe from this summer’s movie blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. [More]

Many of the Corvette Caravans that are or have already converged on Bowling Green took a circuitous route in getting to the NCM which allowed owners to see some historic landmarks and show off their love of America’s sports car. The Indiana Caravan was no exception as members took a some parade laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway prior to hitting Interstate 65 for the trip South to Kentucky. [More]

GM has just launched their semi-annual Car Care promotion they affectionately call Goodwrench & Go. It is a great program, incentivized by GM, to encourage customers to come into dealerships to get oil changes and discounted services for $39.95 or less.

This time around, customers receiving the direct mail piece from GM are offered a $15 discount card that they can use at any GM dealership on a service of $100 or more. In addition, each customer who receives the mail piece will also get a voucher for $750 off on a new 2009 Chevy Vehicle (excluding ZR-1) or $500 off a new 2010 Chevy that can stack with all of our other rebates and incentives except the stand alone APR offers. It’s a nice little program and offer for the millions of people that receive the mailing (which should be hitting your mailboxes this week).  You can also transfer the offer to another family member or anyone in the household.

We are offering the program for all of our GM customers, but remember that the published pricing of $39.95 or less does not include Corvettes.  Our Synthetic oil change package is priced at $54.95.

The promotion runs from September 4th until November 2nd at participating dealers.

The 1.5 millionth Chevrolet Corvette, made earlier this year, was a white convertible with red interior.

Here is a group of Corvettes from North and Central Texas, Oklahoma and the Gulf States arriving in Bowling Green. The video was shot from the Exit 26 overpass which is just a couple miles south of Exit 28 on I65 where the National Corvette Museum is located.
