Colorado Corvette Club's Mountain Madness Car Show Sponsored by Stevinson Chevrolet

The Colorado Corvette Club's 8th Annual Mountain Madness Car Show took place this weekend in Grand Lake, Colorado! We were thrilled to be sponsoring and attending, and now we're sharing with you a glimpse into the event...



We brought our new yellow 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe to show off at the entrance, and it sure did draw a crowd. Click here to check out the details of this showstopper on our website. 





The Mountain Madness Car Show started in 2009 and the 8th annual show may have had the best turnout yet! Paul Eckert, Jeff Galowitsh and a host of club members made this amazing gathering a reality. Brodie of the Colorado Corvette Club stated:

"We provided a wonderful event and raised almost $9,000 for the local charities in Grand Lake! All the funds raised are left right in the town at the end of the day. You can believe the people of Grand Lake appreciate the Colorado Corvette Club. The club donates a significant sum to selected charities and we spend our way into and out of town."
As you can see, Brodie isn't exaggerating when he points out the surge in customers funneling into local businesses like the Blue Water Bakery at the Village Center and Grand Pizza on the Boardwalk on a day like this one.

If you're not familiar already, the Colorado Corvette Club, as stated on their website, "is a diverse group of people from all around the metro area, from Thornton to Franktown and Aurora to Silverthorne. We share a common bond in our love and appreciation of 'America's Sports Car' the Corvette. CCC and all members are a part of the Western States Corvette Council."

Range of Cruze Diesel Enables Stops For Fun, Not Fuel, in Rockies

Image
Originally Published in New Roads Magazine Westbound pioneers crossing the High Plains of Colorado must have been awestruck at their first sight of the Rocky Mountains rising ahead. The steep terrain and craggy peaks would certainly be quite a formidable challenge for their fragile horse-drawn wagons.  That challenge was easily met when I ventured from Denver into the foothills of the Front Range to sample the region’s outdoor recreation spots and excellent driving roads. Making the trip in a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan proved practically effortless, thanks to its quiet new turbodiesel engine—and more fun with the standard 6-speed manual transmission.  Even today, Denver serves as something of a gateway to the American West, a transition point from the expansive farming stretches of the heartland to the continent’s mountainous spine. Yet this diversity of settings and activities is within range of an easy day’s or two-day drive—and affordable when your fuel economy rat

Passenger Vehicle Drivers Like You Now Responsible for Complying with Traction and Passenger Vehicle Chain Laws

Winter driving conditions in Colorado are a serious force to be reckoned with. Semi-trucks aren’t the only vehicles accountable for the use of chains and proper tires on Colorado highways, anymore, and with good reason. As Mayor Michael Hancock wrote in regards to The Denver Vision Zero Action Plan,   “Traffic deaths and severe injuries are unacceptable and preventable, and safety must be the most important consideration for every Denver street.” Passenger vehicle drivers like yourself are now responsible for knowing and complying with the Traction and Passenger Vehicle Chain Laws. Don’t worry though, Stevinson Chevrolet is here to make sure you’re compliant, safe, and secure! Cars that are unable to properly grip the roads slow down traffic and slip easily on snow and ice. Did you know that you can be fined more than $130 if you don’t have the proper equipment on your vehicle and the Colorado Department of Transportation, or CDOT, issues an active Traction Law, also k
