Ma Vie Folle

When I got the call about being a Gotta Love Chevy Northeast Ohio (my God that’s a mouth full!) blogger, I went immediately to the Chevy site to check out the new Traverse.  Holy crap, that’s one fine automobile!  We began checking out the photos of the interior.

Alan:  (I could see the twinkle in his eye…jaw drops..heart pounding)
“Oooo, lots of cupholders!”……*screech*
“Oh…But wait…Is it American made?”

Me:
“Well, just like our car, we won’t be drinking in it, so cupholders don’t matter.  And….of course it’s made in America…do you think I’d agree to this if it weren’t?”

Okay…so.  First of all, what is it with kids (and men) and cupholders?   The last car I bought, the dealer tried to woooo me with cupholders, as if that is important to women.  It’s not.  The more cupholders, the more mess we have to clean up.  Not a selling point, people!    What did interest me was the 5 star safety rating.  SIX, count um six, airbags.  It’s like being wrapped in bubble wrap!

There’s a bazillion gadgets on this car and it will take awhile to learn all of them.   Tons of things to keep the kids busy.  So far, I see an iPod jack and two sunroofs.  The only thing that is missing is an ejection seat for mouthy teens.   Oh, and tail lights that spew grease so that tailgater gets off my butt!  Maybe I could suggest that and they’ll be in the next model.

*I had to show you this pic!  I picked the car up today…..this is the radio/heat/air area.  What do you call this?  I dunno.  ANYHOW….check out the compartment at the very top of the pic….it is a pop up space for sunglasses and junk ON TOP THE DASHBOARD!  How cool is this?

All opinions expressed are my own. The Gotta Love Chevy NEO campaign is being sponsored by Northeast Ohio Area Chevy Dealers who gave the chosen bloggers a new Chevy Traverse to test drive for a month and blog about their experience. Mom’s Time Out has given us some “missions” to go on and provided us with gift cards to complete them. #chevygirls @chevyohio  Go ENTER some great contests at Chevy NEO AND on Facebook!
