Ready To Redline Your Chevy?


It’s BACK!!! In response to the positive feedback in 2015, Chevrolet has decided to introduce the Redline special edition to a large number of their vehicles. Get excited St. Louis because this may be one of the largest and, if we do say so ourselves, on the most SPECTACULAR special editions that Chevrolet has ever released.

“Redline is another example of Chevrolet bringing SEMA concepts to showrooms,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet, in a statement. The SEMA show has proven to be a great way to identify customization trends in the industry, and quickly apply those trends to our most popular Chevrolet models.”

The Redline Special edition will add black wheels with distinctive red hash mark, black nameplates outlined in red, blacked-out grilles and black Chevy Bowtie logos. The Silverado and Colorado Redline will also come with red tow hook, while the Camaro’s front wheels will feature black hash marks.

This special edition package will be available on the Cruze LT, Malibu LT, Camaro LT and SS, Equinox LT, Silverado Double Cab LT Z71 and Crew Cab LTZ Z71, Trax LT, Traverse Premier, and lastly the Colorado.

The Redline special-edition will be available for ordering later this year. Until it’s available check out Mid-MO Powerhouse for all things Chevy!

Winter Weather Driving Tips!


Sorry folks, but Punxsutawney Phil has decided on a few more weeks of winter weather! There’s no need to worry because Chevrolet has a few simple tips for Jefferson City drivers. Mid-MO Powerhouse is here to help you prepare for any bad weather on the roads with a few simple tips:

1.     Get comfortable by removing all bulky clothing so you have full mobility for complete   control.
2.     Leave a pair of appropriate driving shoes that do not have bulky soles in your vehicle. This will allow you gauge how much pressure you are placing on your petals.
3.     Turn your heat down so you do not become drowsy.
4.     Be aware of the outside temperature. The most dangerous temperature range is between 24-34 degrees Fahrenheit.
5.     Be aware of how the winter conditions affect your traction! Snow gives you about 50% less traction while ice gives you about 75% less traction. Slow it down, break early, and be aware of your surroundings.
6.     Clear your car of snow and ice so you can see properly.
7.     Ensure your tires and battery are in good shape.
8.     Carry along kitty litter just in case you get stuck.

Remember: do not travel if you do not have to! Just in case you do, always keep your car winter weather ready! Schedule your service appointment today at MidMo Powerhouse!
