Car Suggestions by a Kid

What kids want in a car

Hi Mom, I hate to say it, but I think it’s time for a new car. It’s not you, it’s the car, I promise. It’s way too small for all my stuff for my soccer games, dance practices, and piano lessons. Let’s not even mention when you have me, the dog and groceries, or when it’s your turn to carpool. I love you Mom, but I really think it’s time for you to rethink your car situation. Here’s a list I put together.This is what kids want in a car.

Maybe you should check out the 2014 Nissan Quest. This minivan is big enough to fit all my stuff and your shopping bags even if you are carpooling! You can hold five passengers in the backseat and still have storage room in the trunk. The trunk is big and has storage underneath the floor so you can hide the soccer ball you always yell at me for throwing around when you are driving. The Quest is big enough for all of our activities and is ranked in the top safest cars so you don’t have to worry as much about other crazy drivers on the road.  Read the rest of this entry >>

The Cube Act

New 2014 Nissan Cube

At the circus, the main attraction isn’t to the acrobatic acts, the tigers, the lions or the elephants dancing on a beach ball. The main act comes into light when that tiny red car appears in the middle of the arena and one by one, from every door, 30 clowns start coming out of that one vehicle. One cannot help but wonder how do they do it?!

Here at your Nissan dealer in Dayton, OH, we want to inform you of it all. Have you ever seen the New 2014 Nissan Cube? That’s how. Read the rest of this entry >>

Fun Ideas for the Family

Things to do on a road trip with kids

A family road trip is a great summer activity. We think road trips are a fun way to see many sights throughout the United States, less expensive than flying, and a wonderful family bonding opportunity. Before you go on your road trip, make sure your car is up to date at our service department.

You may be hesitant to take a road trip because of the time commitment and possibility of the kids becoming bored and antsy. You won’t have to worry about this behavior if you know a few simple games that will keep the kids occupied and stimulated. While electronics may keep the kids quiet for a while, we believe that games that make kids look out the windows are more fun and educate the whole family on each area you drive through.

Some things to do on a road trip with kids are games such as the alphabet game. The goal of this game is to find words that start with each letter of the alphabet in order. Whoever gets to Z first is the winner. This is a great game to play individually or in teams.

Road at night

Solar roads, won’t you?

The internet is a buzz of late with the concept of solar road ways. An Indiegogo page, a website used to jump start projects with crowd-funding, set a goal of $1 million, which the Solar Roadways project has already surpassed. Started by a couple in Idaho, the project seeks to replace the roads, highway, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots with hexagon shaped solar panels. The panels would have a heavy duty glass cover over top LED lights and the solar panels themselves. The single panels could be removed and replaced without disturbing the rest of the road, making fixing issues quick and efficient. They also are programmed to radiate heat at just above freezing, meaning that snow and ice wouldn’t be able to find purchase, making slick roads a thing of the past.
