Grant will fund community support services and prevention education
The General Motors Foundation is donating $150,000 to Mothers Against Drunk Driving to expand prevention education initiatives and provide support services to victims of drunk driving crashes and their families.
In 2011, drunk driving killed more than 9,800 people and injured approximately 315,000. To aid in recovery, MADD provides services to one victim every 8.6 minutes at no charge. Last year alone, 61,000 people received help from the organization.
Since 1995, the GM Foundation has donated grants totaling nearly $3.9 million to support MADD’s drunk-driving prevention and victim recovery work, and to raise awareness on the importance of having a designated driver.
“This contribution will help MADD achieve its mission by allowing us to serve more drunk driving victims and prevent underage drinking,” said MADD National President Jan Withers.

With the
smart-phone revolution having no end in sight, automakers are racing to
bring that same type of connectivity directly to the car. Two brands
stand out in the race, Chevrolet and Buick. That makes sense as Chevy's
MyLink and Buick's Intellilink both stem from General Motors' diligent
efforts to provide a seamless integration of automotive performance and
entertainment. In this article we'll briefly run through some of
Intellilinks features and capabilities.
In the previous
generations of Intellilink, you could sense that maybe Buick had rushed
its implementation of the technology. The buttons were bulky and
cluttered. The functionality was not intuitive.
The
next-generation Intellilink solves all those problems. The user
interface is streamlined and natural. The previous 17 physical buttons
have been replaced by only seven. The touch-screen icons are large and
easily identifiable.
All the magic
takes place within a generous 8 inch touch-screen. Take advantage of its
superior connectivity with your mobile device. Intellilink uses the
same gestures we've become so familiar with. Slide your fingers to the
left or right, performing what Buick refers to as a 'Fling'. Drag and
drop items. You can also utilize the natural voice recognition to
control the system.
Altogether, these features make it easy to safely perform whatever it is you're trying to do, even at highway speeds.
Intellilink is available on the 2014 LaCrosse and Regal. Browse our selection on the Bob Brown Buick GMC Website.
Fall is here, and it's a good time to start thinking about winter preparation. The cold season can place extra strain on certain parts of the vehicle, especially at temperature extremes. By performing a few simple checks on your cars critical parts, you can ensure that you won't get stranded in the cold this winter.
1. Antifreeze. Naturally, this is important. A 50/50 mixture of distilled water and antifreeze will typically suffice. If you live in areas that have unusually cold temperatures, you may want to increase that ratio a bit.
2. Battery. The cold weather will put more stress on the cars charging system. Cold starts are notoriously difficult for some cars. The last thing you want to do is be stranded in the frigid morning dealing with a dead battery.
3. Oil & Filter. This is standard maintenance (as are most items in this list). But it is even more crucial in the winter months. Refer to your owners manual for OEM recommended oil type.
4. Lights & Indicators. Because of the longer days, your lights will have to work harder. All lights on the car are important, but headlights and brake lights especially so. If you haven't replaced them in a few years, it might be a good idea to just proactively do so. It will be much cheaper than getting into a collision because a fellow motorist couldn't see you.
5. Tires. Good traction in the winter is essential. Inspect the tread, or have someone do it for you. Also, be sure that your tires are inflated to the manufacturers suggested standards.
6. Windshield. Visibility is key to road safety. You want to make sure that all windows are cleared of ice and snow before hitting the road. Mix de-icer and Rain-X treatment in your washer fluid to avoid chipping away at ice in the morning with a chisel.
7. Belts & Hoses. Winter temperatures can put extra stress on these parts. Don't let a $10 part get your stranded.
8. Cabin Air Filter. The summer months can really create a build up of dust and particles. If your car is equipped with a cabin air filter, it is wise to change that now. Blasting the heat on full will only embed these contaminants deeper into your cars heating/cooling system.
9. Exterior Paint. Rain, snow and salt will really eat away at your cars finish. Applying a proper coat of wax will significantly reduce this.
10. Roadside Emergency Kit. This is ALWAYS important. Simple items like Fix-A-Flat, basic tools and extra oil can really save the day. Be sure to keep a few blankets in the car through the winter too, in case the worst happens.

The 2013 Verano is a powerful compact luxury sedan, with a quiet cabin, smooth styling, and plenty of standard features. This year Buick introduced the 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with the premium trim package. Every Verano comes equipped with the Buick IntelliLink system. Other standard features include: 18-inch aluminum wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, satellite radio, and USB ports.
With a turbo-charged engine, you'd expect some compromise in cabin noise. Not the case, as Verano is regarded as one of the quietest in its class. With the 250-hp engine, there is an optional 6-speed manual transmission.
With attractive aesthetics, improved performance and a plethora of tech features, the 2013 Buick Verano is an all-around winner.
