Throwback Thursday video is coming your way with a beautiful message.  A car is more than transportation, it's a lifestyle.  Tell us about your favorite Chevrolet of today or yesterday.

Hi Hybrid

If you ever wanted to be a hybrid owner, we are making it easier for you to become one.  Take a look at this month's event page: http://on.fb.me/1bplr3h

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.

This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) will have no trouble watching with their kids.

As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around – 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back – should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

Shock Absorbers

Like most parts on the car, the shock absorbers need to be checked regularly as part of the service schedule of the car. Generally, shocks need to be checked every three years, or 36,000 miles, and every five years or 60,000 miles. These mileages and suggested maintenance times differ between models, and you should check your service manual for your vehicle model. A quick check you can do to see whether your shocks are in good order is to push down on the front of your car several times. If it levels off and goes back to place after one bounce when you relieve it of your body weight, the shocks are fine. When checking a suspension system, the shocks should be checked for leaks, cracks, and general wear and tear.

Congratulations Shottenkirk team for another rave review!

"I purchased a used vehicle from Shottenkirk last month.  After working with Jake on that deal, I knew I would go back.  I'm currently in the process of leasing a 2013 vehicle with Jake and I couldn't be more pleased with the service.  Jake is responsive and patient - he takes the stress out of buying a vehicle.  We'll keep coming back!"
