Now that fall is in full swing–a fact that certainly hasn’t gone ignored on Avondale Nissan’s blog, of course–drivers face a whole set of additional traffic obstacles that are special to this season. And, with our full service department at Avondale Nissan, these are problems we’re a little more familiar with than most. Drivers crash, and then they come see us. So what sorts of obstacles can you expect to weather during the fall, you ask? Here are three prominent fall travel hazards you’ll likely encounter this autumn in the Phoenix area.
The life of a driver, especially in an area as populated as Phoenix, is obviously loaded with potential obstacles. You’ll run into construction, detours and bottlenecked traffic on a near-daily basis. However, probably the most unenjoyable of all traffic delays is getting a speeding ticket. They’re expensive, they adversely affect your insurance rates and they’re just inconvenient. But did you know that there are ways to avoid getting a ticket after you’ve been pulled over? Here are four helpful tips to hopefully avoid getting a speeding ticket. And you didn’t hear this from us!
Let’s keep the fall train going, shall we? If you haven’t noticed, we at Avondale Nissan are thoroughly enjoying the fall season thus far, with tips and tricks ranging from car preparation to helping your kids stay safe during trick-or-treating. And now, we’re back with some fun for the adults in the area, with four of our favorite haunted houses in the Phoenix area. Enter at your own risk!
If you’ve been paying attention to the recent news items coming out of Avondale Nissan, then you’re well aware that we are beginning to be inundated with the influx of 2015 Nissan models. Needless to say, pretty exciting stuff. And, the trend is continuing with the arrival of the 2015 Nissan Frontier, our excellent midsize pickup. It has long been among the most popular entries in a pretty competitive segment, and now it receives an update for the new model year. So, what can you expect from the 2015 Nissan Frontier? Let’s take a little look, shall we?
Continuing our trek through all things fall-related at Avondale Nissan, we’re now ready to take on our favorite entry in the entire autumn canon: Halloween! Regardless of your age, All Hallow’s Eve is among the most fun a person can have during the year, and we at Avondale are no different. So, before you make your plans for Halloween with your kids, we’ve got five tips for trick-or-treating safety…what are you supposed to be, boys and girls?!
Have you ever been on a long car ride and realized, “Wow, I’m really sore.” This happens more often than we probably even recognize. We take what we think will be a relaxing drive, only to find that we’re more tired when we arrive than we were when we left. Nissan, however, has taken great pains to eliminate this, well, pain. We’ve introduced our NASA-Inspired Zero Gravity seats, which are currently available in several of our most popular models, including the Altima and Rogue. So what is it that makes our seats so awesome?
Nissan LEAF drivers certainly are an exciting bunch, aren’t they? One week they’re turning a LEAF into a pickup, the next they’re setting Guinness Book World Records. That was the case last week during National Drive Electric Week, where EV drivers from around the world got together to extoll the virtues of helping the environment by going electric. In the process, they set a world record for the largest number of electric vehicles driving in a parade, with 507. And of that enormous number, we are happy to say, most involved were Nissan LEAFs.
You know what’s one of our favorite things? Being surprised. Whether its a surprise birthday party, an unexpected $20 in our pockets or just a complement we didn’t see coming, being surprised makes up some of our favorite moments at Avondale Nissan. And recently, we got a good one, when some crafty Nissan engineers took a stock Nissan LEAF and crafted…drum roll, please…a Nissan LEAF pickup! And they even named it “Sparky!”
If you’ve been driving around with your eyes open–you do drive with your eyes open, don’t you?–you’ve probably begun to see pumpkins popping up on the landscape like a bunch of adorable, orange Starbucks franchises. And, if you’ve taking the next logical step, then you already know what comes next: you carve a face into said pumpkin (poorly), wait until it begins to lose its shape, and then you emphatically throw it into the street.
However, did you know that there are other uses for pumpkins beyond the carve-wilt-destroy trifecta? If not, then thank your lucky autumn gourds for Avondale Nissan, showing up on the scene with four surprising uses for pumpkins!
