         <title>Snowboard Challenge</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/03/03/blizzard1_small.gif" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/03/03/blizzard1_big.gif?popup=1','popup','width=597,height=437,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Snowboard Challenge" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/03/03/blizzard1_small.gif" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 0 10px 5px 0;" /></a>Have you played <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/games">Snowboard Challenge</a>? This is the perfect game for the winter weather! </p>

<p>Join Brent Blizzard and Air Dog the snow-boarding dog on the slopes in this fun, free snowboarding game! Use your computer's mouse to control Air Dog's path as he swiftly slides down the icy mountain.</p>

<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/03/03/blizzard2_small.gif" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/03/03/blizzard2_big.gif?popup=1','popup','width=597,height=437,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Snowboard Challenge" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/03/03/blizzard2_small.gif" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: right; margin: 5px 0 5px 10px;" /></a>The best part is when Air Dog jumps off a ramp up into the air. When he's flying high, you can press different keyboard keys to perform tricks. You gain points every time you do a trick, and the longer you jump without crashing, the more points you receive for each jump. You also get more points for doing more tricks each time you're flying through the air.</p>

<p>Try to avoid the rocks and trees, otherwise you'll eat snow! How high is your score?</p>]]></description>

         <title>New Game: Moe&apos;s Motor Mania!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/25/moegameSm.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/25/moegameLg.jpg?popup=1','popup','width=520,height=370,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Moe's Motor Mania game" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/25/moegameSm.jpg" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 0 10px 5px 0;" /></a><br />
In honor of our most recent Chevron Car, Moe Muscle, we are thrilled to present our newest game: <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/games/motor-mania?popup=1" onclick="window.open('http://www.chevroncars.com/games/motor-mania?popup=1','Motor Mania','toolbar=no,width=720,height=600,left=400,top=100,scrollbars=no,resizable=1');return false">Moe's Motor Mania</a>!</p>

<p><br />
<a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/22/moe1sm.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/22/moe1big.jpg?popup=1','popup','width=685,height=520,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Moe's Motor Mania game screenshot 1" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/22/moe1sm.jpg" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: right; margin: 5px 0 5px 10px;" /></a>Moe's Motor Mania is a fun speeding adventure where you race Moe Muscle against his friends by pressing your keyboard's arrow keys. Together you will discover new terrains, like a desert and snowy wonderland! Be careful--you will have to smoothly round each curve without hitting a tree or rock.</p>

<p><br />
<a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/25/moe2sm.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/25/moe2big.jpg?popup=1','popup','width=685,height=520,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Moe's Motor Mania game screenshot 2" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/25/moe2sm.jpg" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0;" /></a>The game is over once you've raced through all three tracks. Once you get the hang of how to drive Moe Muscle, see if you can get the fastest time! You also need to watch what you drive through--good objects, like a burger or milkshake, will help you, while bad items, like a rail or cone, will harm your lap time.</p>

         <title>Vincent&apos;s Collection</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/22/vincent_small.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/22/vincent_large.jpg?popup=1','popup','width=624,height=359,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Vincent's Collection" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2010/01/22/vincent_small.jpg" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0;" /></a>We just received a photo of Vincent's marvelous Chevron Cars collection-- check it out!</p>

<p>Vincent's collection began when he received Tyler Taxi as a gift from his father's colleague just a few months ago. As you can see, his collection has grown quite a bit since that first Chevron Car! What's the secret behind Vincent's quick acquisition?  He purchased the whole collection through eBay.</p>

<p>This Chevron Cars collector loves to play with his cars in his free time. He especially loves how the cars' doors, hoods and compartments open, and that some of the cars show their teeth. Vincent also really likes how his cars move their eyes as you drive them around. We're glad Vincent appreciates the details on our cars!</p>

<p>Vincent's favorite cars are Tyler Taxi, Carry Carrier, Travis Tanker, and Bailey Bouncer & Brandon Bumper. We can tell that Bailey Bouncer and Brandon Bumper are special because we see at least two pairs in this collection! Vincent also owns duplicates of some other cars, such as Tyler Taxi, Mini Tony Turbo, Travis Tanker, Leo Limo, and Skyler Scamper & Zachary Zoomer.</p>

<p>The only Chevron Car that Vincent does not own from the Autopia Cars series is the infamous <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/gold-dusty">Gold Dusty</a>-- good luck on getting your hands on one!</p>

<p>Vincent, we heard you received Spirit, Devotion and Moe Muscle just two weeks ago-- we hope you enjoy the new cars! Thanks for sharing your great collection with us!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/10/ShippingMap_small.gif" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/10/ShippingMap.gif?popup=1','popup','width=566,height=373,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Shipping Map" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/10/ShippingMap_small.gif" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0;" /></a>With Christmas and many other holidays just around the corner, we wanted to list some information about our shipping times to help ensure that you receive your Chevron Cars orders in time.

         <title>Ian&apos;s Drawing</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Ian recently sent us his creative drawings of two new Chevron Cars--Molly Movin' and Pierce Packin'. We highly recommend that you click on each image for a larger version so that you can see the incredible details on these drawings!</p>

<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/04/Molly_Movin_small.gif" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/04/Molly_Movin_big.gif?popup=1','popup','width=683,height=607,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Molly Movin" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/04/Molly_Movin_small.gif" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0;" /></a>Molly Movin's side says "CC Moving Co." and has "Molly" next to the side doors that open. The back of the truck also opens, featuring a small 'M' on each side of the door. From the front, you can see that Molly's eyes move side to side as she looks for the best house in which to move. Molly comes with a couch and small box accessories that you can store as she drives around town. Ian also made sure that Molly came with a sheet of bumper stickers so you can decorate and personalize her.</p>

<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/04/Pierce_Packin_small.gif" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/04/Pierce_Packin_big.gif?popup=1','popup','width=751,height=618,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Pierce Packin" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/12/04/Pierce_Packin_small.gif" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: right; margin: 5px 0 5px 10px;" /></a>Just like Molly Movin', Pierce Packin' also has "CC Moving Co." printed on his side, as well as side and back doors that open. If you take a careful look, you'll see that the license plate even reads "Techron"! With a great big smile, Pierce Packin' also moves his eyes to look for a great house in which to move. For accessories, Ian has included an end table, boxes, and a sheet of different bumper stickers.</p>

<p>We love and are very impressed by the level of detail in Ian's drawings! Did you notice the bird in the tree? Or the truck in the background following Pierce Packin'? Or even how the box accessories say "fragile" and have an arrow pointing up?</p>

<p>We think that these cars would make a great duo together, just like Bailey Bouncer and Brandon Bumper, Charlie Chaser and Dylan Dasher, and Chandler Chip and Summer Scoop. Since they love to help people out, we think Molly Movin' and Pierce Packin' would be great friends with Pete Pickup and Cary Carrier.</p>

<p>Thank you for sharing your idea with us, Ian!</p>]]></description>

<p>From a sparkling clean Sam Sedan to a cool and healthy Moe Muscle, Chevron has been releasing Chevron Cars since 1996. Can you believe that a whopping 20,000,000 cars have been sold? These cars have made it to many homes over the years, sparking tens of thousands of Chevron Cars collections. They have also inspired very many of you to write us with your innovative ideas and submit creative drawings of what you'd like to see in the future.</p>

<p>One of the special characteristics of these cars is that each one has a different and unique personality. Looking for some adventure? Take <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/freddy-4--wheeler">Freddy 4 Wheeler</a> for a spin in the mud, or <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/brent-blizzard">Brent Blizzard</a> for a cool ride through the snow. Feeling a little hungry? Flag down <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/payton-pizza">Payton Pizza</a> for a couple hot slices or <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/chandler-chip">Chandler Chip</a> for a refreshing ice cream cone. If you need a ride to school, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/sally-schoolbus">Sally Schoolbus</a> has you covered, and <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/tyler-taxi">Tyler Taxi</a> would love to bring you over to your friend's home. <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/maria-minivan">Maria Minivan</a> loves to take families around town, while <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/pete-pickup">Pete Pickup</a> and <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/horace-n-trailer">Horace N Trailer</a> will bring your furry friends along. <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/patty-patrol">Patty Patrol</a> and <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/fuller-fire-truck">Fuller Fire Truck</a> are always doing their best to protect and serve the community.</p>

<p>In addition to the regular edition Chevron Cars, there have also been a few special edition cars that we've released over the years. Chevron created the Victor E Van series in 2007 so that you can show your spirit for your favorite university and a variety of sports. Chevron is also proud of beginning a Special Edition Chevron Car series in 2001 that is designed to raise awareness about breast cancer. <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/devotion">Devotion</a>, an energetic helper, recently joined the Chevron Cars family this fall to help inspire those around her.</p>

<p>Few fans can boast to have a complete collection with the rarest Chevron Car of all - the <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/gold-dusty">Gold Dusty</a>. In 2000, Chevron produced only 1,000 of these cars as gifts to Chevron Executives and personnel and to Disney Executives at the re-opening of the Chevron-sponsored Autopia ride at Disneyland. You may see one on Ebay.com every now and then. You can learn more about this extraordinary Chevron Car <a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2005/05/autopia-gold-dusty.html">here</a>.</p>

<p>Our Chevron Cars would not have achieved such great success without our many devoted Chevron Cars fans. We hope that our Chevron Cars have brightened your days, and thank you for the years of support!<br />

         <title>Chevron Cars for this Holiday Season</title>

The <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/store">Chevron Cars Online Store</a> is your one-stop shop for picking-out your gifts and avoiding the holiday shopping rush. Don't forget to type FREE SHIP in the Coupon Code section when you are checking-out to receive free standard shipping on orders that are $40.00 and over!</p>

<p>Every Chevron Cars collection should include our two newest 2009 members--<a href="http:// www.chevroncars.com/store/moe-muscle-p129.html">Moe Muscle</a> and <a href="http:// www.chevroncars.com/store/devotion-p128.html">Devotion</a>. Finely toned and tuned, Moe Muscle is an energetic car who knows the importance of exercise. With a radiant ruby exterior and big heart, Devotion is a Breast Cancer Awareness car who loves to help her neighbors out and inspire others to do good deeds.</p>

<p>Another special Breast Cancer Awareness Chevron Car that is currently available is <a href="http:// www.chevroncars.com/store/spirit-p125.html">Spirit</a>. Spirit has a generous attitude and lives to spread acts of kindness. This cool coupe would make a great addition to any Chevron Cars collection.</p>

<p><a href="http:// www.chevroncars.com/store/fuller-fire-truck-p127.html">Fuller Fire Truck</a> was a fantastic hit when he was released during the last Holiday season and is ready to roll again this year. This Chevron Car would make a great gift to anyone courageous and aspiring to lend a helping hand to the community. Chevron Cars fans especially love that the ladder lifts, swivels and extends to help at any height, and how Fuller comes with a firehouse dog that can ride along or jump out and play.</p>

<p>Any car from the Victor E. Van series would make a great gift to a college student, alumnus or energetic sports fan. The Victor E.

         <title>New Learn Article: The Evolution of the Typewriter</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Italian Car" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/11/02/typewriter.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 10px 10px 5px 0;" />You can use your computer to play games, type homework and even read this blog, but have you ever wondered what people used before the computer? Why are your keyboard's keys arranged the way that they are? We can thank the typewriter for leading up to the existence of the personal computer.</p>

<p>It is commonly believed that an Italian built the first typewriter for a blind Countess in 1808. With a cluster of keys and the paper hidden from the typist, the typewriter wasn't perfect, but it certainly sparked a revolution.</p>

<p>With the need for speed and automation, the typewriter further developed into subsequent versions. The keyboard was improved, typists could see what they were typing, and soon the typewriter was electronic.</p>

<p>Have you ever noticed how the keys spell QWERTY across the top left of your keyboard? It turns out that the keys on the keyboard were arranged in such a manner so as to prevent frequently struck keys from colliding. This became a necessary consideration as the typewriter caught on and people became faster typists.</p>

         <title>Marlo&apos;s Drawing</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/10/09/marlo_small.gif" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/10/09/marlo_big.gif?popup=1','popup','width=740,height=570,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Marlo's Drawing" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/10/09/marlo_small.gif" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0 0;" /></a>Marlo sent us this fantastic drawing of her Chevron Cars idea. This awesome ambulance's name is Abby Ambulance. With a cross on the side and sirens on the top, this little ambulance seems ready to zip around town to help anyone in need. We love Marlo's attention to detail--she included "2009" and "Techron" on the back. Marlo even drew a gurney to help transport people to and from Abby Ambulance!</p>

<p>We think Abby Ambulance would make great friends with Patty Patrol and Fuller Fire Truck. We also think Abby Ambulance would get along very well with our newest Chevron Car, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/devotion/">Devotion</a>, because they're both devoted to helping people out. Together this bunch of Chevron Cars would make sure everyone is happy and safe in their neighborhood! </p>

<p>Marlo is a huge Chevron Cars fan, and we're so excited that she shared her drawing with us. Thanks, Marlo!</p>]]></description>

         <title>Introducing Devotion--the new Breast Cancer Awareness car!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/09/29/blog_devotion.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/09/29/blog_devotion2.jpg?popup=1','popup','width=510,height=360,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Chevron Car Devotion" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/09/29/blog_devotion.jpg" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0 0;" /></a>After numerous emails and comments asking when the newest Chevron Car is going to arrive, it's finally here! We want to welcome the newest car to the collection--Devotion!</p>

<p>Ever since 2001, Chevron has created a Special Edition Chevron Car designed to raise awareness about breast cancer. Devotion joins a proud line of cars, including <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/hope-2001/">Hope 2001</a>, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/hope-2002/">Hope 2002</a>, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/hope-2003/">Hope 2003</a>, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/faith/">Faith</a>, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/cherish/">Cherish</a>, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/promise/">Promise</a>, <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/courage/">Courage</a> and <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/spirit/">Spirit</a>.</p>

<p>With a radiant ruby exterior, Devotion is an energetic car dedicated to improving the big picture. She's always ready to help out, whether it's cleaning up the house, baking for a bake sale, or rounding-up clothes for the needy.</p>

<p>Devotion believes that good deeds bring good fortune, and we couldn't agree more. With her star-bright smile and big heart, Devotion shows that devoting time and energy to those in need can help in the fight against breast cancer and those whose lives are affected by the disease. </p>

<p>Devotion will be available while supplies last on the <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/store/">ChevronCars.com Toy Store</a> and at select Chevron retail stations starting <strong>October 1st, 2009</strong>. Chevron and your local dealer are proud to contribute all net proceeds from the sale of this Special Edition car to promote the early detection of breast cancer. Our Special Edition cars tend to sell relatively quickly, so be sure to snag yours as soon as possible!</p>]]></description>

         <title>Jesse&apos;s Collection</title>

Jesse has quite an impressive collection which he has showcased here in this wonderful display. </p>

<p>In addition to the great variety of Cars in his collection, Jesse also owns more than one of many of the individual Cars, including 2 Payton Pizzas, 2 Casey Coupes, 3 Chandler Chips, 3 Summer Scoops, and 2 Fuller Fire Trucks! This collector even owns some of our very first Chevron toy cars, including Sam Sedan, Wendy Wagon, Tony Turbo, Freddy 4-Wheeler and Patty Patrol. Jesse has some other collectibles, too, like his Woody Wagon pin, Fun Club Kit, and Riley Roadster t-shirt.</p>

<p>We love the shelves he has set-up outdoors and the way he has displayed his collection with the larger cars on the bottom and duplicate cars grouped together. We're also impressed that each car is still in its original box--what a dedicated collector!</p>

<p>We noticed Jesse owns Hope 2002, Hope 2003, Faith, Cherish, Courage and Spirit. We hope you're all as excited as we are for the brand new Breast Cancer Awareness car next month! Be sure to sign-up for our <a href="https://www.chevroncars.com/user/newsletter_subscribe.php">newsletter</a> to stay up-to-date with our newest cars.</p>

<p>Thank you Dorothy and Jesse for sharing your collection with us!</p>]]></description>

         <title>Jake&apos;s Exciting CCars Adventure</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/09/10/jakeBoat_small.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/09/10/jakeBoat.jpg?popup=1','popup','width=458,height=346,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img alt="Jake's Adventure" src="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/09/10/jakeBoat_small.jpg" width="200"  hspace="6" vspace="2" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0 0;" /></a>With his <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/frankie-4--wheeler">Frankie 4 Wheeler</a> hooked up to his <a href="http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/CC-boat-n-trailer">CC Boat N Trailer</a>, Jake visited his cousin's house over the Labor Day weekend and experienced quite an adventure with his Chevron Cars.</p>

<p>Jake took his cars down to a nearby brook and placed his CC Boat on the water. He decided to let his boat float with the current, but not without proper protection--his brother, Drew, was going to stand on a rock to catch the boat if it were to go out too far.</p>

<p>Jake shares the rest of his captivating story:</p>

<p>"So I tried it and right when I put him in the water, I rushed my brother to the rock where he was supposed to catch CC Boat. But the current was very fast there, and Drew wasn't able to catch him! I couldn't go after him, so I watched him float away. Drew got our dad and he saved CC Boat!"</p>

<p>Hooray! It turns out that after capsizing, the boat caught onto a rock with a bunch of floating leaves that were almost the same color as the boat's underside.</p>

<p>Jake remarks, "My dad was lucky to have noticed him!"</p>

<p>Great work! We're relieved you didn't lose your CC Boat!</p>

<p>Jake finishes with:</p>

<p>"Looking forward to when the new Chevron Cars are coming out!"</p>

<p>We're excited, too, about the new Breast Cancer Awareness car and brand new car for the Holiday season. Read more about these cars in our <a href="http://chevroncarsblog.com/archives/2009/08/will_there_be_new_cars_this_fa.html">Will there be new cars this Fall?</a> blog entry.</p>
