Kelly Jones


Okay, Checkered Flag Winners,  I know you have all been waiting on the edge of your desk chairs for me to get back to you today, well, here I am, but unfortunately, I don't have any better news than yesterday. 

I've got an official Checkered Flag Hurricane Watch 2010 update for you, and it does not look great.  I thought for sure the track for Hurricane Earl would have changed today, but it has not at all, or very little, depending on the weather source.  Horrible Hurricane Earl is still headed our way, and now, behind him is…

Batten down the hatches!!  A great squall is a brewin'!

Seriously folks, it's time to head out to the grocery store and stock up on the staples.  I've just gotten word that there is a good chance we're going to be in for some terrible weather this week.  This nasty fellow, Hurricane Earl is tearing through the Atlantic as we speak, and some weather reports are putting the bulls eye right on Hampton Roads for Earl's landing spot.

Questions for Kelly: Service Center

Kelly Jones


I get some pretty interesting questions from Checkered Flag customers who need assistance with anything from maintenance questions to laundry stains.  I've decided to start posting select responses here in the Checkered Flag Blog because I believe that there are a lot more of you out there with the same concerns.  This week's question comes from Susan G. in Norfolk.

From Susan G.:
Hi Kelly, I own a Checkered Flag VW, but I live closer to one of the other Checkered Flag dealership locations.  Can I have my Volkswagen serviced at a different Checkered Flag service center?

Cars and Coffee Update

Kelly Jones


Back on August 14th, Checkered Flag had the honor of hosting the national Cars and Coffee event here in Virginia Beach.  Car and Coffee lovers gathered together to enjoy a few cups of joe while admiring each other's classics, hot rods, and even plain old rides.

The event was a hit!  Dozens of car enthusiasts came together at an early 8 a.m.  and had quite a blast spreading the auto-love.  Here are a few photos from Checkered Flag's Cars and Coffee event.

Kelly Jones


Okay, okay, yes, I still carry around a dinosaur of a cell phone that was free back in 2001, but I may soon be jumping on the iPhone bandwagon...especially if they keep coming out with apps like this one.  For all of you more technologically inclined Checkered Flag Winners out there, check out the newest iPhone app:  Augmented Reality Driving.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS...Whoooo Wee

Kelly Jones


What's faster than the Corvette ZR1, the Ferrari 458, Dodge Viper ACR, and possibly even Superman? Porsche's most powerful street car ever, 911 GT2 RS, of course.
 
For the bargain price of only $250,000, you too can be zooming around the streets of Hampton Roads in a vehicle that is so awesome it needs clearance from NASA before it takes off.  The 911 GT2 RS sports "620 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque without increasing the 3.6-liter displacement-that's 90 horses more than the GT2, 120 over and above the current Turbo, 205 more than the…
