The Importance of the Moustache

The moustache maketh the man.  Since the early days moustaches' have helped shape and define a mans personality.  They can make you look stylish, manly, elegant, presentable.  But it is important you wear the right moustache for the right reason!  Riverton Chevy is sporting a moustache for the month of November not to add to its overall look or personality (granted it can't hurt) but to raise an awareness and funds to support prostate cancer and testicular cancer initiatives. 

Starting November 1st we will be known as the Riverton Mo Bros.  Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through our actions and words we can raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.  Please visit our official MOVEMBER page.

Riverton supported and raised funds for the fight against Breast Cancer during the Month of October and recently came across the Movember challenge!  We gladly accept the challenge head on.

 

Please feel free to join our Team or DONATE to this worthy cause.

Movember aims to change the face of men’s health and reverse this way of thinking by putting a fun twist on this serious issue. Using the moustache as a catalyst, we want to bring about change and give men the opportunity and confidence to talk about their health more openly.

The quality of health starts with you!  Regardless of age, keep your health in check by doing the following:

• Have an annual screening
• Know you family history
• Don't smoke
• Be physically active
• Keep your schedule regular
• Sleep well
• Know your body
• Eat a healthy diet
• Stay at a healthy weight
• Manage your stress
• Drink alcohol only in moderation.

Stay Healthy all you MoBros and may the best moustache win!!!

Be Fuel Efficient with the Cruze!

Looking for style, functionality, reliability and just a plain darn fun car to drive?   Look no further! 

I thought I'd start adding a review to our blog--via a 3rd party--by selecting a "model-a-month" and adding some insight.  I hope it helps and is informative!  Enjoy!


2013 Chevy Cruze Eco Review

"More than just a trim package, Chevrolet got clever with the Cruze Eco to offer its customers a more sophisticated, fuel-efficient machine" Autoguide.com



HANDSOME AND FUNCTIONAL STYLING

FAST FACTS

1. A 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder makes 138-hp and 148 lb-ft of torque.2. Fuel economy with a 6-speed manual is rated at 28-mpg city and 42-mpg highway. 3. To help improve fuel economy the Eco model gains custom aerodynamics, sheds 100 lbs of weight and uses active grille shutters. 4. Pricing for the Eco model starts at $20,475 including delivery compared to $17,925 for a base Cruze.

The Cruze Eco gets a few fuel-minded nip/tucks that also help it hop up the handsome.

First, Chevrolet cut almost 100 lbs. from the base Cruze’s curb weight by tossing out the spare tire in favor of a patch kit, shrinking the gas tank to 10.5 gallons, and simplifying the rear suspension.
Next, Chevy lowered the car and made the forged alloy wheels standard equipment.
But that’s not all. Chevrolet also added an “active front fascia” with slats that close
during highway speeds to reduce drag and improve mileage.

AN INTERIOR WITH SHARED PRIORITIES

From a daily driver’s perspective, the Cruze is a solid choice.
Between its gauges, an information screen controlled by a knob mounted on the turn signal stick offers typical trip stats, but it also provides an “average mpg gauge.” It offers current as well as average fuel consumption figures that show exactly where the car sits compared to the trip’s recorded gas usage.

Around town the Cruze Eco’s turbo 1.4-liter 4-cylinder feels surprisingly peppy. Shifting into second gear, the car tugs with enough power to find the speed limit without feeling taxed.

Is Nitrogen Better than Air in Car Tires?

Why Inflate with NitroFill™?
Compressed air is your tire’s worst enemy. Air is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other. Nitrogen is inert, non combustible and non corrosive. Oxygen, on the other hand, is immensely destructive to rubber and other tire materials. As soon as a tire is manufactured and exposed to air, the effects of “oxidation” begin to deteriorate the rubber. Over time it loses its elasticity and strength, just like an old rubber band you’ve probably found around your home. This same process occurs in tires inflated with air as the oxygen attacks the rubber molecules, working from the inside out, until the oxygen, and its destructive properties, permeates the tire structure and ultimately the tread.
Increase Your Safety  

In 7 million miles of truck tire testing, nitrogen inflated tires lasted longer.

Tire failures were reduced by 50%

Tread life was increased by 25-30%

Improve Performance

Improves steering

Improves handling

Improves braking

Reduces chance of tire failure

Save Time, Money, and Tire

Dramatically slows pressure loss from  permeation

Improves fuel economy

Reduces tire oxidation

Eliminates interior wheel corrosion

Reduces running temperatures

Decreases false alarms and activation of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Will NitroFill™ improve the performance of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on my vehicle?
Yes. NitroFill™ will help maintain proper inflation in your tires and reduce the number of faults detected by the TPMS.

Should I put NitroFill™ in my spare tire?
Absolutely! Your spare tire is the most neglected tire on your vehicle, and if you need it you certainly want it to be fully inflated. Because NitroFill™ dramatically slows the normal loss of pressure through permeation, your spare tire will hold its proper pressure over a much longer period of time than if it was filled with regular air.

Is nitrogen a safety hazard?
No. Nitrogen is an inert, noncombustible, nonflammable, non-corrosive gas. In fact, those are big reasons why nitrogen is used to fill the tires of vehicles that push performance limits under extreme conditions, including Formula One racers and heavy machinery.
Is All Nitrogen Gas Equal?
No, the purity of nitrogen available from nitrogen generators generally ranges from 95% (low purity) to 99.9% (high purity). NitroFill™ generators can produce nitrogen in excess of 99.9% purity and provide the procedures to guarantee a minimum of 95% purity in the serviced tire, which is the minimum allowable purity that must be maintained in the tire to enjoy the benefits that nitrogen provides. Few generator manufacturers currently discuss this mandatory 95% threshold, as few are able to consistently provide the required purity to achieve it. But, as the market matures, your customer WILL learn –so don’t take chances with their safety or your reputation- fill them with NitroFill™ !

Nitrogen vs. Oxygen

Oxygen leaks out of tires faster. Nitrogen maintains tire pressure longer than oxygen. The oxygen molecules in compressed air are smaller and leak out three to four times faster. NitroFill™ generators filter the air we breathe through technically advanced membrane fibers to separate it from oxygen and water vapor.

Nitrogen is no longer prohibitively expensive to produce. In the past, equipment to produce nitrogen was large and expensive Using the latest Pneumatech technology, NitroFill™ generators produce nitrogen from the air we breathe using compressed air. NitroFill™ generators are simple to install, safe and cost effective. Come visit our service department to have your tires filled with Nitro today.  http://www.rivertonchevy.com/Service
