Make Some New Tracks in 2019 with The Chevy Trax!
Compact sports utility vehicles have been growing in popularity in the past few years, and the 2019 Chevrolet Trax is a prime example of why. With its great combination of uses, work capabilities, and sleek look, the Chevy Trax has much to offer you.
Comfortable Interior
Compact SUV’s have been moving away from merely being the utility vehicle of years past and have transitioned into the dual luxury/utility vehicles we have today, as seen with the 2019 Chevy Trax. Chrome accents on the instrument panels and premium stitching accents give the interior a high-end visual appeal. The front bucket seats ensure a comfortable ride, whether it’s to work, out for errands, or for a long weekend. There are 40.8 inches of front leg room, so there are no cramped legs in this spacious front cabin area.
With the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system that has a 7-inch color touch screen and Bluetooth audio streaming capabilities for compatible phones, you’ll be able to keep yourself entertained for hours playing your own playlists during your drive.
Cargo Space
The 2019 Chevrolet Trax has enough space to seat you and your passengers comfortably until you reach your destination, but don’t let the compact body fool you. It’s bigger inside than it appears from the outside. It has a maximum of 48.4 cubic feet of cargo storage space in the rear to hold all of your luggage for whatever trips you may be taking, and the flat-folding front passenger seat back gives you even more space to transport objects that are up to 8 feet long.
In addition to the interior cargo capacity, roof-mounted side rails come standard. The optional roof rack cross rails further increase your cargo utility and give you even more flexibility for storage.

The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse is built with exceptional durability and adventure in mind, which makes it the perfect off-roading vehicle. Here is some more info on some of the superb off-roading features that the 2018 Traverse has on offer.
Power
Powered with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission, the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse can handle your off-roading adventure. With a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs, you will be able to bring along your favorite recreational camper or boat. You can also swap between four separate drive modes for maximum control, including front-wheel-drive, 4×4/snow, off-road, or tow/haul mode.
Exterior Accessories
Even the exterior of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse is designed for off-roading, as it screams masculinity and capability. It is large enough to handle the toughest of terrains and includes many features to smooth out the ride, such as the upgraded suspension and torque controlling system, the available Intellibeam headlights, and 20-inch aluminum wheels, which all add utility and comfort.
Interior Amenities
Although the 2018 Chevrolet is a tough car made for rough terrain, the interior is spacious and comfortable. A maximum of 98.2 cubic feet of storage means that you can cart along as much luggage as you might need for your off-roading trip, while second-row sliding seats make load in and load out easier than ever. Additional storage compartments throughout the interior give you even more secure storage space. For some scenic enjoyment, a dual panoramic power sunroof will give you impressive views of the sky above.
Choosing Your Perfect Chevy Corvette Trim Level
The Chevrolet Corvette is available in five trim levels, perfect for customizing your new sports car to fit your design and power preferences. This is what you can expect from each of the available trim levels.

On the interior of the Stingray model, you will find an 8.0-inch Chevrolet MyLink™ touch-screen driver infotainment system. Dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and OnStar™ capability are also nice touches featured in the Stingray.
Stingray Z51

It features upgraded 20-inch wheels and higher-performing brakes. It also comes with an electronic limited slip differential for smoother handling. The included Aero package improves the aerodynamic drive of the Stingray with higher ground clearance and better stability.

One of the best things about living in a warm climate is that you can have outdoor activities all year round. While others brace themselves for extreme cold weather and precipitations, living down South means summer doesn’t necessarily have to end so soon.
This certainly applies to people living in and around Lafayette, Louisiana. In the months of October and November, when people from other parts of the country are resigned to the fact that summer is over and already look forward to the Holiday Season, Lafayette is still partying. Here are the coolest things to do in the Lafayette area this fall.

Festivals Acadiens et Créoles
This mid-October three day festival is more like three festivals all rolled into one, each celebrating a different part of Cajun and Creole culture. It started back in 1972 as Louisiana Native Crafts festival, and two years later it merged with a newly-started Cajun music festival. The final piece of the puzzle was added in 1977 with the Bayou Food Festival.
The result is a wonderful craft, music, and food festival that celebrates the old traditions of south Louisiana natives. It’s been named this way since 2008, and thanks to the amazing people putting it together, it grows in popularity with each passing year.

Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival
Louisiana has many different peoples and traditions, but if you have a passion for the blues, this is the festival for you. This award-winning festival, presented by The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, hosts its 13th edition this year, and they anticipate it will be their biggest one yet. So, get ready to listen to some soul-soothing blues, while tasting some of the best barbecue in the state.
The admission is free, and you’ll be treated to a wonderful variety of blues artists playing on one of the festival’s two stages. This year’s top-billed performer is guitar legend Jimmie Vaughan, brother of the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Festival-goers will also get to choose between 12 of the best barbecue vendors in the area, plus a large and well-stocked arts market.
How to Practice Eco-Friendly Driving
Cars are wonderful things because they give us the freedom to go anywhere we want to, at any time. This unprecedented mobility has been the driving force behind the automobile industry’s growth throughout the last hundred years, and nowadays cars are as popular as ever.
New automotive technologies have made engines more efficient and less polluting, but you can still maximize the performance you get out of every tank by the way you drive. Here are some ways to be as efficient as possible while driving.
Choose an Eco-Friendly Vehicle
Gone are the days where engine power automatically meant burning up a lot of gas. Over the last few decades, manufacturers understood that a more efficient car is a win-win situation, not only helping the environment but also being significantly cheaper to operate.
So next time you’re in the market for a new car, keep in mind that you can you can find a great one that’s also efficient and eco-friendly. Hybrid engine or fully electric cars are also more and more present in the market, and most major car manufacturers are currently investing in clean energy for future car models.
Have an Eco-Friendly Driving Style
Even with an efficient car, the way you drive can have a significant effect on the gas you consume. Not only does aggressive driving increase odds of car crashes, it’s also bad for your vehicle’s MPG.
Having a calm demeanor can help you burn a lot less fuel, thus saving money and reducing the toxic gases that the car releases into the atmosphere. So simply accelerate calmly, avoid driving too fast, and try not to make too many sudden brakes. Pretty soon you’ll find that the miles-per-gallon ratio will rise, and your trips will also be more relaxing.
Tackle Any Job in the 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500!
Pickup trucks have been steadily dominating the American market for some years now. The reasons for that are not hard to understand, as there really isn’t anything you can’t do with a truck.
Although crossover and all-purpose models are becoming more and more popular, there is no another car type out there that you can use for carrying a few tons of materials, successfully tackling off-road environments, and dropping your kids off to school, all in a comfortable, tech-rich environment. It’s no wonder the 2018 Silverado 1500 is Chevrolet’s most popular model, as it comes with all the perks of having a pickup truck while adding a few of its own.
Versatility
Not only does the Silverado come with the above-mentioned versatility that’s common to every truck, it is especially versatile, and its trim options reflect that. First of all, there are a few engines to choose from. If you’re using the truck for driving around town, and maybe doing some light carrying, then the 4.3-liter V-6 is more than enough to satisfy your needs.
The most popular engine is the 5.3-liter V-8. It’s able to carry some heavy-duty cargo, your family, an attached trailer, or all of them together with remarkable ease. Then, there’s the class champion. If your day-to-day operations involve carrying massively heavy things, the spectacular 6.2-liter will surely get any job done.
The vehicle’s versatility doesn’t stop with power, however. There are three cab configurations available: regular, extended, and crew. So no matter how many family members, colleagues, or employees you have to drive around as part of your daily routine, there’s definitely a Silverado model that fulfills your needs.
Drivability
Unexpectedly for a vehicle of this size and weight, the 2018 Chevy Silverado is also easy to drive. When your transportation is your tool, you expect that tool to be working smoothly so you can get the job done as efficiently as possible, and the Silverado delivers exactly that.
It accelerates well with any engine, with the top 6.2-liter engine reaching 60 miles per hour from a standstill in just 6.4 seconds, a time that would put most sedans and hatchbacks to shame. It also brakes better than most trucks in its class and has very good steering for a truck that is this heavy.
