It’s been roughly nine months since the entire greater Phoenix area shook its collective head: “10-and-6? How do the Cardinals miss the playoffs going 10-and-6?” Now, with the new season underway–and an opening victory last night–we finally get to look ahead instead of backward. So, what should we be looking forward to? Here, brought to you by Avondale Nissan, is your quick 2014 Arizona Cardinals season preview!
Tonight is the night. Tonight, we kick off the NFL football season, ending several months of anticipation (and, if you’re a Cards fan, frustration that a 10-6 team can miss the playoffs). This comes on the heels of the beginning of the college season, which just saw the beginning of what look to be promising seasons from both Arizona and Arizona State.
All of this football, as you might have guessed, is going to result in some serious tailgating. But what should you remember prior to gametime? Here are five tailgating tips, from your friends at Avondale Nissan!
It’s back, baby. After a few months away, football season is now underway, to the delight of all of us at Avondale Nissan. (Also…nice work this weekend, Arizona and ASU. Absolute domination in both cases.) And, with anticipation for football reaching a fever pitch, Nissan has released its Heisman House commercials for the 2014 season. So, much like our look at last year’s crop, let’s check in and see how they look, shall we?
While we at Avondale Nissan certainly love cars–Duh.–our love for movies is nearly as noteworthy. We love car chase movies, we love sappy romantic Kleenex-fests, and we’ve even been known to tolerate a subtitle or two in our day. But what are the best movies filmed in Arizona? Literally hundreds of films have been shot here, so we’re going to pick five of our faves for your personal watching. Better grab the popcorn!
It’s here, boys and girls. Drive by any local high school and you’re bound to hear the crunching of shoulder pads and the whine of whistles as football season returns to the area. The level of excitement is high at the college level as well, as both Arizona and Arizona State are coming off 8-win seasons and are ranked either in or just outside the preseason Top-25. This excitement isn’t lost on Avondale Nissan, who–although neither the Sun Devils nor Wildcats has ever produced a Heisman Trophy winner–is eagerly awaiting the Nissan Heisman House campaign, where we toss a bunch of former Heisman winners in a house and watch as hilarity ensues. So, while we wait for the upcoming batch of Heisman House ads, let’s look at some favorites from years past.
Full disclosure here–we at Avondale Nissan are unabashed dog lovers. We love playing with them, we love wrassin’ with them, we even love the dusty smell of their paws. But perhaps more than anything, we love taking our dogs for a ride in the car. But what are the best tips for traveling with a dog in the car? Here are five of our favorite tips, from your friends at Avondale Nissan!
In this space, we’ve filled a pretty solid amount of space talking shop about the 2014 Nissan Rogue. We’ve hit on its great safety features, its excellent redesign and its highly functional interior space. However, with the recently released Nissan “Off the Stage” Promotion, we get to see the Nissan Rogue perform an undertaking all its own. “Sure, the Rogue is a good commuter vehicle,” the promotion suggests, “but can it successfully deliver a band to the mountains and power a mini-performance?” And to that the Rogue responds, “Yes, yes I can.”
It’s almost that time, folks! We can all put on our Uncle Sam wigs, fill our trunks and truck beds with fireworks, and grill red meat until sun-up. America! At Avondale Nissan near Phoenix, AZ, this is among our favorite holidays, and one that we look forward to all year long. But with only a few short weeks until the holiday arrive, what are we to do? Here are a few options for Fourth of July events in the Phoenix area, courtesy of your friends at Avondale Nissan!
This Sunday, families from around the area will all gather to celebrate Dear Ol’ Dad, and the types of possible celebrations are as different as dads themselves. I know that when it comes to my dad, he’s generally spent the Sunday afternoon of Father’s Day in the garage, fixing the cars of the kids who are home to visit him. However, this probably isn’t the norm, so here are a few ideas for your Father’s Day in the Phoenix area!
Now that we’re into the dog days of summer (aren’t we always?), many among us are spending our afternoons with our knees in the dirt, hoping to make a garden and yard that our neighbors will envy.
