Chevrolet Miami - Corvette Valet Mode

Even though you may love driving your Chevrolet Miami doesn’t always have the best parking available. It’s a big city, but it doesn’t always have big parking lots available. Fortunately, you can pay a few bucks to get curbside service from a valet and not have to worry about where you’ll park or having to park a mile away.

Chevrolet Reveals New SS Pace Car

While Chevrolet is known for producing some high-performing vehicles with some powerful engines, the types of vehicles you can buy at a Chevy dealership have nothing on the types of vehicles you will find on the race track. It’s there you can see the full potential power of the Chevy brand.

Chris Pratt, the star of the upcoming movie “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the hit TV show “Parks and Recreation,” will be driving the new car at the event. Pratt will only be an honorary driver participating in pre-race activities. He will not actually be competing in the race.

GM Donates Chevrolet Volts to Students Mentoring Small Businesses

The nonprofit group MBAs Across America sends graduate students around the country to counsel small businesses and help them improve their operations and their profitability. GM recently leant its support to the group by donating 12 Chevrolet Volts for the student teams to drive on their summer tour.

Eight teams of students will travel to 25 cities to counsel small business owners and offer help where needed. One business that they helped last year, the barber shop The Social Club Grooming Co. in Detroit, tripled its revenue and landed a $100,000 investment.

The students will try to help nearly 50 small businesses on their tour this year, which started in mid-June. Students were in Detroit at the end of July, and they moved on to Nashville and Chicago in early August.
