This 1948 Chevrolet 3100 makes a cameo in a classic 1985 sci-fi comedy, although we highly doubt that it can go 88 mph. Can you name the film it appears in?

Winter Tire Care Tips

A snowplow can be a welcomed sight after a big snow, but the heavy-duty road salt they leave behind can take a toll on your car. Here are a few things you can do to protect your car from the damaging effects of road salt this winter.

Planning Ahead

Step 1: Before the first snowfall, give your car a bumper-to-bumper scrubbing. If it's already winter and temps are dropping into the freezing range at night, wash your car early in the day so it has time to completely dry before nightfall.

Step 2: Inspect your car for any cracks or chips in the paint, including rust spots, and repair them as soon as possible. It's tough for salt to damage a car with a protective primer and paint coating.

Step 3: A winter wax will give your car an added buffer of protection. Plus, a fresh wax will make it much easier to wash off salt and grime throughout the season.

Winter Wheel Care
 
Road salt loves to eat away at chrome, eventually causing it to corrode and flake. If you have chrome wheels, consider swapping them for a durable alloy or steel set during winter. Whether you have chrome, alloy or steel, it's best to steer clear of winter puddles, since they generally contain cold standing water full of — you guessed it — road salt.

Garage Melt

If you have a warm garage to park in after a cold drive home, it's good to be you. But if there's any snow left on your car, you're actually at a higher risk for rust than your neighbor who trudges in from the street.

Why? Because rust forms when moisture and oxygen team up on bare metal (think melting snow on wheel wells, undercarriage and chrome wheels). Salt only speeds up the corrosive process, so it's important to wash your car often if you drive on salt-treated roads.

When to Wash

A quick spin through the car wash every 7-10 days will get those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies clean. Just be sure your car wash uses fresh water, not recycled. Otherwise, you risk getting rinsed with someone else's salty water.

If your car is black, white or red, it's a good idea to get another wax mid-winter since these colors are more sensitive to acid rain and UV rays.

Once spring arrives, give your car a detailed wash and wax to remove dirt, grime and any remaining road salt still hanging on from winter.

Chevrolet Announces the Return of the Stingray!

Chevrolet is redefining modern performance with today’s debut of the all-new Corvette Stingray. And only a Corvette with the perfect balance of technology, design and performance can wear the iconic Stingray designation.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray is the most powerful standard model ever, with an estimated 450 horsepower (335 kW) and 450 lb.-ft. of torque (610 Nm). It is also the most capable standard model ever, able to accelerate from 0-60 in less than four seconds and achieve more than 1g in cornering grip. It is expected to be the most fuel-efficient Corvette, exceeding the EPA-estimated 26 mpg of the current model.

“Like the ’63 Sting Ray, the best Corvettes embodied performance leadership, delivering cutting-edge technologies, breathtaking design and awe-inspiring driving experiences,” said General Motors North America President Mark Reuss. “The all-new Corvette goes farther than ever, thanks to today’s advancements in design, technology and engineering.”

The all-new Corvette Stingray shares only two parts with the previous generation Corvette. It incorporates an all-new frame structure and chassis, a new powertrain and supporting technologies, as well as completely new exterior and interior designs. Highlights include:

• An interior that includes real carbon fiber, aluminum and hand-wrapped leather materials, two new seat choices – each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame for exceptional support – and dual eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens
• Advanced driver technologies, including a five-position Drive Mode Selector that tailors 12 vehicle attributes to the fit the driver’s environment and a new seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time
• An all-new 6.2L LT1 V-8 engine combines advanced technologies, including direct injection, Active Fuel Management, continuously variable valve timing and an advanced combustion system that delivers more power while using less fuel
• Lightweight materials, including a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels; carbon-nano composite underbody panels and a new aluminum frame help shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance that supports a world-class power-to-weight ratio
• A sculptured exterior features advanced high-intensity discharge and light-emitting diode lighting and racing-proven aerodynamics that balance low drag for efficiency and performance elements for improved stability and track capability
• Track-capable Z51 Performance Package including: an electronic limited-slip differential, dry-sump oiling system, integral brake, differential and transmission cooling, as well as a unique aero package that further improves high-speed stability.

“Stingray is one of the hallowed names in automotive history,” said Ed Welburn, GM vice president of global design. “We knew we couldn’t use the Stingray name unless the new car truly lived up to the legacy. The result is a new Corvette Stingray that breaks from tradition, while remaining instantly recognizable as a Corvette the world over.”

The new Corvette Stingray will be built at GM’s Bowling Green, Ky., assembly plant, which underwent a $131-million upgrade, including approximately $52 million for a new body shop to manufacture the aluminum frame in-house for the first time.

“We believe the Corvette represents the future of modern performance cars because it delivers more power, more driving excitement and better fuel efficiency,” said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. “The result is better performance by every measure. The 2014 Corvette delivers the fastest acceleration, the most cornering grip, the most track capability, the best braking performance and what we expect to be the best fuel economy ever for a standard Corvette.”

The 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe goes on sale in the third quarter of 2013.

Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature spirited performance, expressive design and high quality.
