Morris' Mazda gets a Makeover

Washington Redskins running back, Alfred Morris, isn't the only one making NFL history. Morris made headlines last year when it was revealed he still drives a ’91 Mazda 626 nicknamed 'Bentley'. Because of the sentimental value it holds to Morris, Mazda has agreed to refurbish 'Bentley'.

Tips for Traveling with Kids

 

Here are some ideas to make summer travel fun!

You picture the perfect vacation. Smiling kids. Fun on the road. Perfect memories.
But, packing up your family and hitting the road can also be a recipe for boredom and frustration. So, how can you keep your kids amused while traveling? Here are some tips:

Put your kids in charge.

Have each of your children pack a small bag of their own selection of toys, books and music.

Let kids mimic you.

Children like to have what adults have.

• Consider buying an inexpensive digital camera for your kids to share
• Or perhaps an iPad loaded with fun learning games
• Maybe an iPod with music or recorded books
• Or a portable DVD player with an array of movies and cartoons

Share the music.

Bring a communal iPod with classic music, or sing-alongs for everyone to enjoy together!

Track your travels.

Buy a colorful map for your kids to follow along with on your journey. Vibrant maps or print outs from online sources help your kids feel involved, like they're helping you navigate.

Find the unexpected.

Research quirky stops – restaurants or landmarks – along your route. These are good opportunities for kids to stretch their legs and expend pent-up energy.

Load your snack packs.

Have healthy snacks on-hand for those long drives without pit-stops for food.

Play wildlife bingo and other games.

Headed to a national park? Have your kids keep their eyes peeled for wildlife sightings. Create a bingo card with animals you expect to see. Encourage your kids to mark the animals they spot. Whoever gets wildlife bingo first wins a prize.
Or, look for vanity license plates, specialty cars (Slug Bug!) or try to name as many food items that start with a given letter from the alphabet.

With a little planning and some ingenious ideas, you can transform an average summer trip into one you'll all remember fondly.

What a weekend! Check out these AWESOME reviews our dealership received! Keep up the great work, team!

"We have purchased a number of vehicles over the years, and the sales experience at Sport Durst is the best that we have ever encountered. Our salesman, Hieu, was knowledgeable and did not try to push us into a decision. He listened to our desires and led us to the best vehicle for our needs. We got a fair deal on the price and trade. The financing was simple and straight forward with no pressure to buy additional products. Then, after the sale, Tony made sure that we received everything that had been promised and that we were satisfied. We have never had such great service after the sale as we did with Sport Durst." -J. Speagle

"5 STARS. Bruce is great...My old vehicle barely made it to the dealership. I literally had to push it into the lot. I thought I had absolutely no negation power at that point, but Bruce was able to get me the car I wanted and pretty close to the terms I tried to demand. Both Bruce, and Mike were very knowledgeable, pleasant, patient, and helpful. Bruce even helped me move all the junk out of my van, and into my new car....in the RAIN! Even after he already made the sale, Bruce made it clear that he is my agent for the life of the car. If I have questions, or need anything, he is just a phone call away. Thank you Bruce, Mike, Tony, and Scott for helping me get a killer Dodge Dart!

BANG THAT GONG!!!" -Don M.

"Everyone here is amazing. They took good care of me and my boyfriend with great customer service! They went beyond all measures to make sure They can put you in a car. It was a little lengthy process with signing all of the necessary paper work, but They even feed you! I love this dealership!" -K. Currie

4th of July Road Trip Tips

Taking a road trip this 4th of July? According to AAA, 84% of Americans will hit the road this holiday weekend. Although this is a slight decline from the 41.1 million people that traveled in 2012, roads will still be crowded. Here are Central Collision Center’s tips to make your road trip easier:


1. Prepare your vehicle ahead of time.
There’s nothing worse than having car troubles in an unfamiliar area. Be proactive and do a routine maintenance check before you hit the road. Things to check: tire pressure, washer fluid, wiper blades, oil and lights (headlights, taillights and turn signal).

2. Plan your stops.
Instead of stopping at the first gas station you see, use the free app GasBuddy to plan your stops for gas. GasBuddy finds the cheapest gas near you. The app can also find the cheapest gas by city or zip code. Bonus: you earn rewards for reporting gas prices.

3. Prepare snacks ahead of time.
Bring a variety of snacks to eliminate unnecessary stops and unhealthy purchases. Pack snacks that will travel well and will please all of your travelers. Some healthy suggestions include granola bars, pre-cut vegetables and hummus, string cheese and trail mix. Granola bars, hummus and nuts are packed with protein, which will keep your travelers fuller longer.

4. Clean as you go.
Don’t wait until you’re packing up to come home to clean your car out. Make cleaning easy by giving each row of seats its own garbage can. Place a small garbage or grocery bag in a plastic tupperware container to make mini garbage cans. The container traps smells and is easy to empty each time you stop for gas.

5. Bring in-car entertainment.
Keeping children entertained is key to a successful road trip. Instead of relying on iPads and other electronics, create interactive games. For example, give each of your children a map to decorate as you travel. Each child can draw his or her favorite site for each state. At the end of the trip, each child's map will be different. Bonus: the maps make great keepsakes and cute additions to photo albums of the trip.
