Fiesta Charra

Similar to many cities in Texas, Lewisville has a sizable Hispanic population, which contributes to its great cultural diversity. Fiesta Charra provides an authentic experience of Hispanic culture through a demonstration of a traditional Charreada, which is based on the animal husbandry activities practiced in the haciendas of Old Mexico. Basically, a Charreada is the Mexican version of a rodeo.
The two main events of Fiesta Charra are Test of the Horse and Skirmish. Test of the Horse involves examining a horse's ability to respond correctly to commands as a way to evaluate its training. Skirmish, on the other hand, features a group of women riding sidesaddle and performing a series of equestrian exercises. In addition to Charreada activities, the festival offers live performances by Hispanic musicians and dancers as well as a costume contest, traditional games and attractions, and food trucks. A full list of attractions, activities, and performers will be released in 2021.

The jam session features performances and presentations by the talented firefighters who are attending the symposium as well as local musicians. Children's activities and food and beverages complete the event.
Keeping Tradition Alive Jam Session is usually held in early May at Wayne Ferguson Plaza, but its schedule for 2021 remains tentative. In previous years, the event started at 7 p.m. and closed at 10 p.m. Admission was free.

Up, Up, & Away! Festival of Flight

If you and your kids are fans of all things that fly, you should take a drive to The Colony to attend Up, Up, & Away! Festival of Flight. With thousands of attendees every year, this festival is one of the most popular of its kind in North Texas. It's an afternoon filled with all forms of winged fun, including kite flying, paper airplane contests, birding demonstrations, and radio-controlled airplanes with wingspans of up to 20 feet. In past editions, the event featured a flight simulator and wind tunnel simulator.
If you want to give your neck a break after gazing skyward for a long time, you'll also have plenty of activities to keep yourself entertained. You can get a temporary glitter tattoo, try your hand at craft-making, enjoy live music, or grab a quick bite to eat at a food truck. There are also giveaways at this festival.

A Guide to Choosing the Best Used Car
December 24, 2020
One way to save money on a vehicle purchase is to buy used. There are many great used cars out there with a lot of life left in them, some even from the current model year.  You'll want to set a budget and possibly even secure financing before stepping onto the used car lot. You should also know what you're looking for, whether that be features, mileage, fuel economy, or space. If you're in the market for a new-to-you used vehicle, here are a few key factors to consider.

Determine Your Budget

The first thing you will want to look into is your budget. How much are you willing to spend each month on the car payment? You should look at spending no more than 15% of your monthly take-home pay on your car payment. Buying a used car could help you stay within your budget and not break the bank. A car that is just three years old could cost you less than half of the original price and still give you that new car feel.
After you have run the numbers and think you know what you can afford for a payment, you should seek out preapproval from your lender or even apply through the finance department of your local dealership. If you know what you're approved for, the monthly payments, and the interest rate, you'll be a smarter shopper. This will prevent you from purchasing a vehicle that's out of your price range.

Which Vehicle Is Right for You?

Once you have your budget figured out, start to make a list of what type of vehicle you want. There are many different makes and models of vehicles, so it's best to narrow your selection down before shopping. Knowing what you must have in a vehicle is beneficial, so you don't impulse buy. Making a list of your must-haves will prevent you from purchasing a vehicle you might regret later.
First, decide if you want a car, minivan, truck, or SUV based on your family's needs and the vehicle's purpose. Next, think about features that are important to you, including technology and safety. This information will help you narrow down your list of makes and models and possibly even trim levels.

Time to Shop

Now that you have your vehicle research complete, you will want to start looking for ones that will fit the bill. Before you go to the lot, do some online shopping. The internet can save you a lot of time and hassle. You can compare vehicles in the same class to find one that will fit your budget. You also get a better idea of how much the car you're looking at is selling for, which will help you get a vehicle for the best price.
After you have a couple of vehicles in mind, get a car report on each. The history of a vehicle is critical. You want to know if the car has been in an accident, fire, flood, or has any other significant damage. Knowing how many owners the vehicle had, along with their age and gender, can be vital too. The report will also give you information about the title, which provides you with clues about the vehicle's condition and any concerning issues. You will want to make sure that the odometer readings match or receive a reason as to why not.
Another important piece of information that may be available on a car report is the maintenance and service record. This speaks to how well the previous owners maintained the vehicle. A car report might cost you a few extra dollars, but it could save you from purchasing a nightmare.

Take a Test Drive

Once you have your options narrowed down, you will want to take a few for a test drive. If you have a couple of makes and models in mind, take them all for a drive. If you can test drive them all in one location, it may give you a better idea of which model you like best. When you take a vehicle for a test drive, you should drive it in normal driving conditions. That means if you drive on windy, curvy roads, then you should find a windy, curvy road for the test drive.
Test out the handling and the feel of the vehicle as well as the brakes and the maneuverability. Listen to it as you're driving and watch for sensor lights. After you take the car out for a spin, do a thorough inspection once back on the lot. During this time, check the air conditioner and the heater. Listen to each speaker and test the windows, locks, power seats, mirrors, and other gadgets.
Take the time to sit in all of the seats. You may not ever be a passenger in your vehicle, but knowing how roomy the car is can be important if you plan to have passengers. If you have a car seat, put it in the vehicle to make sure it will fit properly. You will also want to take a close look at the exterior for mismatched paint, dents, or scratches. Finally, if you have a trusted mechanic, it's okay to ask to have the vehicle inspected by your mechanic.

Time to Purchase

Now that you have put in all of this time and effort, it's finally time to make a decision. If there's something that needs to be fixed or added to the vehicle, make sure you work that into your deal. In many cases, you don't have to settle for what the sticker price is. And since you did your research, you know what a fair asking price is and can negotiate for that price. Once you feel comfortable with the deal, go ahead and complete the paperwork.
Buying a vehicle can be stressful. Doing your research before going to a dealership will reduce the pressure you might feel from a salesperson. Knowing what your budget is, what your must-haves are, and the make and model you're looking for will help you make an informed purchase. When the time comes to purchase that new-to-you vehicle, visit Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville. Their knowledgeable salespeople, commitment to treating customers the way they want to be treated, and wide selection of vehicles will get you into the used car of your dreams.

Best Features of the 2021 Chevrolet Spark
January 10, 2021
With a new year, comes new and exciting vehicles from Chevrolet. Thrilling and responsive to the touch, the 2021 Chevrolet Spark allows its drivers to handle tight turns with ease and maneuver out of tight parking spots with no trouble at all. This vehicle has all the up to date tech a modern driver needs to stay connected even while cruising down the open road. We at Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville are excited to share with our local drivers exactly what makes this car as fun as it is functional. 

Economical Pricing 

There's no chance of anyone suffering from a case of sticker shock when they check out the 2021 Chevrolet Spark. This newest addition to the Chevrolet lineup is their most compact and economical car to date. Not only that, but the 2021 Chevrolet Spark also holds the title of being the lowest priced new car in the entire auto market. It's certainly a challenge to fend off the allure of the Spark's starting price. 
The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the most basic iteration of the 2021 Chevrolet Spark starts at $13,400. This model comes with a manual transmission along with the basic amenities. This cost effective pricing opens up the possibility of car ownership to many people who live within a strict budget. 
Prospective car owners who are looking for more glitz and glamour in their car won't be disappointed though. The LT model which comes with a few more bells and whistles starts just at $15,300. Drivers who are looking for a Spark with an automatic transmission can snag one for under $17,000.

Fuel Efficiency

Maneuvering in and out of hidden gems in the city has never been easier. The fun-sized Chevrolet Spark isn't only compact and fun to drive, but it also is wonderfully fuel efficient. In city driving, the 2021 Chevrolet Spark with the manual transmission is rated at 29 miles per gallon (mpg). When equipped with an automatic transmission, the Chevy Spark is rated at 30 mpg. 

Comfortable Interior

While many other cars that are as inexpensive as the Spark adorn their interior with low quality materials, that is absolutely not the case with the 2021 Chevrolet Spark. The Spark's interior is decorated with delightful textures and has many desirable features, like leather trim and heated front seats. 
With an upright driving position, like a crossover's, and an armrest that folds down, the Spark ensures driver comfort. The Chevrolet Spark can easily carry four adults. The large front doors and raised seat height allows passengers to climb inside with ease. To provide ultimate comfort for adults sitting in the back, the front seats can be slid forward to adjust for all shapes and sizes. 
Three carry-on bags can fit in the Spark's trunk, which allows for 11 cubic feet of cargo space. If the rear seat is stowed, the storage space increases to 27 cubic feet and if a big move is on the schedule, the front seats can be moved forward to maximize the available storage space. Using this configuration, 15 bags can be packed inside the car. Inside, the 2021 Chevrolet Spark has a handy shelf right above the glove box in addition to cubbies found in the center console.

Up to Date Tech

Even though the 2021 Chevrolet Spark comes at an incredibly low price, car owners won't be excluded from top notch car technology. This car comes with ingenious entertainment and technology for today's drivers and surrounds its drivers and passengers with digital convenience. 
As a standard feature, this vehicle has in-car 4G LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity. A Spark owner will also be excited to see the 7-inch touchscreen that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These are car assistant systems that, through the infotainment system, improve a driver's access to certain features on his phone. Drivers can also access their preferred navigation apps from their phone. the can also listen to their favorite driving playlists or even take phone calls completely hands-free. The 2021 Chevrolet Spark also has two USB ports so drivers and passengers can always be fully charged no matter where they go.

High End Safety Features

To help protect modern day drivers, Spark comes equipped with not four but 10 standard airbags in addition to a high-strength safety cage made of steel. Another available state of the art safety feature is Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). This feature can sense an approaching onward crash with another vehicle in time to either lessen the impact or avoid the accident entirely. The system even corrects for human error. If the response from the driver isn't adequate to avoid the crash, the AEB system can apply the brakes to assist in stopping the accident from occurring.
The 2021 Spark also comes with Forward Collision Alert (FCW). This is a cutting edge piece of safety technology that tracks a vehicle's speed, the velocity of the vehicle before it, and the distance in between the vehicles. If the rear vehicle gets too close to the car in front of it, the FCW system will caution the driver of an upcoming crash. 
For drivers who are in need of a vehicle that is not only able to fit into tight spaces but can also motor around urban areas, Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville can help find you the perfect vehicle.  Quite a few automakers have phased out their extra-small cars in recent years and have instead focused on manufacturing extra-small crossover SUVs; however, Chevrolet refuses to quit creating small, affordable cars. The 2021 Spark is little, but it sure is big on both value and fuel economy.

Exploring the Arts in Lewisville, TX
January 18, 2021
When you think of the arts and culture in Texas, you might gravitate toward the bigger cities of Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio. But don't discredit some of the smaller locations, including Lewisville, which has an abundance of locations where you can catch a play, watch professional ballerinas perform, or gaze upon one-of-a-kind works of art. The next time you're in the area, make sure you check out any of these Lewisville-area locations.

Actors Conservatory Theatre

Established in 1999 by Joe Ann Brooks, the non-profit Actors Conservatory Theatre brings classic literature to children through plays and musicals. Over the years the group performed at churches, empty office spaces, and a library, until 2015 when the group found its home at its current location at 359 Lake Park Road. 
Throughout the season, children are encouraged to get involved in plays, musicals, group activities, classes, and camps. Some performances that the group has done over the years include "Pinocchio," "Puss in Boots," "The King and I," "A Christmas Carol," and "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever."

Cross Timbers Artists' Guild

Back in 2001, a group of local visual artists joined together to create the Cross Timbers Artists Studio Tour where members would open their studios to display their works of art. Held every second weekend in November, these artists would allow the public to showcase local artistry. Six years later the group became the nonprofit Cross Timbers Artists' Guild to encourage others to appreciate the creative process and ideas relating to the visual arts. For several years the group maintained an art gallery where members could showcase their works.

Greater Lewisville Community Theater

To stimulate and promote education within the theater and performing arts community, the Greater Lewisville Community Theater showcases plays and special musical productions year-round. Found at 160 W. Main Street, the theater sits in the heart of historic Old Town and is the oldest building in Lewisville, dating back to 1885, with the theater taking up residence in 1983. Since its inception, it has produced almost 200 productions.

LakeCities Ballet Theater

The LakeCities Ballet Theater began in 1984 as a way to preserve classical ballet in the Lewisville area. Located at 1400 Justin Road, the ballet presents full-length classical ballet performances to local audiences. It also gives student dancers an opportunity to perform and train with professional dancers and choreographers. Dancers from this company have gone on to dance professionally all across the country as well as receive accolades and awards due to the training they received at this theater.

Lakeside Community Theatre

Although not located directly in Lewisville, the nonprofit Lakeside Community Theatre is another ideal spot to check out the arts and culture scene.

After performing for several years, the group went dormant in 1992 when it couldn't find an affordable performance facility. It wasn't until 2001 when the group was revived and found its current residence in the Lakeside Arts Center.

Adopting a Pet in Lewisville, TX
February 01, 2021
So, you're ready to welcome a special four-legged family member into your life. But where can you go around Lewisville, Texas, to adopt a pet? Fortunately, you have a variety of options when you're ready to adopt. Learn more about the benefits of adopting a pet and where you can go in the Lewisville area to adopt.

Benefits of Adopting a Pet

If you're interested in bringing a pet into your home, there are a variety of reasons why you should adopt instead of shop. The most important reason is that you will save a life. Sadly, it's estimated that more than a million cats and dogs are euthanized each year in the United States because shelters are too full to handle all of them. By adopting, you bring a loving pet into your home and open up a spot in the shelter for an animal that needs it.
Most shelter pets are healthy and happy animals that ended up at the shelter because of a human problem, such as a divorce or a move. Many pets are already house-trained and are used to living with people. Plus, adopting is often cheaper than shopping for a pet. At many adoption centers, the cost of spaying or neutering, the first vaccinations, and sometimes even the microchipping are included in the adoption fee.

Gene Carey Animal Shelter and Adoption Center

The Gene Carey Animal Shelter and Adoption Center is the main animal shelter in Lewisville. The animals that are available for adoption are listed on the shelter's website. Once you find a specific pet you're interested in adopting, you can follow the unique URL in the pet's description to start the online adoption application. After the shelter approves your application, a staff member will contact you and schedule an appointment for a pickup.
The Gene Carey Animal Shelter and Adoption Center also houses lost and found pets. If you've lost your pet, you can submit a lost pet report and keep it on file at the shelter. You can also visit the shelter during regular business hours to look for your pet. If you've found a pet and you can safely approach it, you can take the animal to the shelter to have it checked for a microchip.

Grapevine Animal Services

Located in Grapevine just 10 miles south of Lewisville, Grapevine Animal Services is another nearby shelter that offers pet adoptions. Here, you'll find puppies and kittens as well as adult dogs and cats that arrived at the shelter after they became lost or their owners could no longer take care of them.
When you're ready to adopt, you can visit the shelter or look at the available pets online. You can then schedule a visit to meet the pet that interests you. If the pet is a good fit, you can complete the questionnaire, sign the contract accepting responsibility for the animal, and pay the adoption fee.
Before adoption, all of the animals will be spayed or neutered and have their basic vaccination shots, including rabies. Your adoption fee also includes a microchip. You'll be able to complete the registration of the chip at the shelter at no additional charge. Additionally, dogs will go home with a leash, cats will have their own carrier, and every cat and dog will get a sample of Nature's Select food.

MARS Rescue

MARS (Mobile Animal Rescue Service) Rescue Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned and homeless animals. The program works primarily with shelters that don't have a no-kill policy in place and with owners who are no longer able to care for their pets. By working with local veterinarians, boarding facilities, trainers, volunteers, and foster homes, MARS Rescue is able to save hundreds of animals every year.
In addition to offering rescue services, the program also provides the community with information and education on responsible pet ownership, such as the importance of good nutrition, spaying or neutering, and positive behavior training.
When you're ready to find a new pet, the rescue group has developed a pet adoption form that can help them place pets with the right owners. If you know the exact pet you're interested in, you can fill out that information on the adoption form. If not, you can include a general description of the type of pet you're looking for, and the program can help you find a match.

Texas Rustlers Small Animal Rescue

If you're interested in adopting a small animal instead of a cat or dog, Texas Rustlers Small Animal Rescue is ready to help. This volunteer-run, nonprofit organization is dedicated to the rescue and adoption of guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, rats, mice, ferrets, and other small animals. If a suitable permanent home for these small animals is unavailable, the rescue group will shelter them for life.
If you're interested in adopting a small animal, you'll begin by completing the online application. A staff member from the rescue group will then contact you to arrange a time for you to visit the shelter. Once you're at the shelter, you'll get to meet the animals, learn about the cages, and receive any advice or education you might need. At this point, you can also select the animal you would like to adopt. After you select your animal, you'll go home and get prepared for your new pet by purchasing food and supplies and setting up the cage.
Once your home is ready, you can come back to the shelter to pick up your new pet. You can shorten the process to one visit if you have the cage and supplies ready before you come to look at the adoptable animals. The shelter also has a store fully stocked with everything your small animal needs.
At Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville, we encourage you to check out one of these adoption centers when you're ready to bring a loving pet into your home. Do you have a heartwarming adoption story you'd like to share? Please feel free to contact us and tell us all about it. We'd love to hear about the amazing pets adopted around Lewisville!

Which Chevrolet SUV Fits Your Family Best: The Chevrolet Trailblazer or the Chevrolet Equinox?
February 08, 2021When it comes to choosing a family-friendly Chevrolet SUV, you have lots of options. Depending on the size of your family and how much cargo space you need, consider either the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer or the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. Let's take a look at these two popular SUVs and do a side-by-side comparison so you can decide which one best suits your lifestyle.

Trims and Exterior Styling

The sub-compact crossover Trailblazer comes in five trims, the L, LS, LT, sporty ACTIV, and the top-tier RS. With an overall length of 173.5 inches, the Trailblazer makes maneuvering through city traffic and parking in challenging spots a breeze. With an aggressive front grille, angular LED headlights, and a dropped fascia, the Trailblazer has an athletic look that's sure to turn heads.
You'll notice the Trailblazer's wide rear stance, contoured body panels, and rear taillights that stand out from the rest of the body. When you choose the ACTIVE or RS trim, the Trailblazer comes with a modern-looking two-tone roof with rails that give it an extra sporty look.
The Equinox offers four trims: the L, LS, LT, and the luxury-oriented Premier. The Equinox's length of 183.1 inches lets you and your family carry more supplies, sports equipment, and luggage. Sleek lines, an elegant front grille, and aerodynamic lines help to give the Equinox a sophisticated appearance. Choose the limited Midnight Edition when you want 19-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, black accents, and a black front grille that helps to elevate the exterior of the Equinox.

Engines and Performance

Depending on the Trailblazer trim, you have two engine options. First up is a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder that delivers 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The second option is a more powerful turbocharged 1.3-liter three-cylinder engine that produces 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. Both engines pair with a smooth-shifting continuously variable transmission.
Front-wheel drive comes standard across the Chevrolet Trailblazer trims and if you want more traction, choose the available all-wheel-drive-system. You'll enjoy how well the Trailblazer handles with its enhanced suspension system that helps to absorb road bumps for a smooth and quiet ride. When properly equipped, the Trailblazer has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds, perfect for hauling a small boat or trailer.
Across the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox lineup, you'll find a 1.5-liter four-cylinder 170-horsepower turbocharged engine giving 203 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission pairs with this engine. For a bit more power, choose the LT or Premier trim which has an optional 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. This engine mates with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
All Equinox trims come standard with front-wheel drive. You can also choose the available all-wheel-drive system which helps with traction on slippery roads or uneven terrain.
Front and rear stabilizer bars along with four-wheel independent suspension give the Equinox nimble handling. With the proper equipment, the Equinox can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Interior Space and Design

Both the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Equinox have two rows of seats that fit up to five people. The Trailblazer has a passenger volume of 98.2 cubic feet with plenty of legroom and headroom for everyone. You'll find easy-to-clean cloth seats on the two lower trims of the Trailblazer, and available leatherette seat trims on the ACTIV and RS trims.  Add the Convenience Package to these two upper trims to get a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob as well as automatic climate control.
For a compact SUV, the 2021Trailblazer has a surprising amount of storage room. Depending on the seating configuration, you can get a maximum of 54.4 cubic feet of cargo space. The 40/60 split-folding rear bench seat and fold-flat front passenger seat lets you carry longer items.
The 2021 Equinox also has ample legroom and headroom with a passenger volume of 103.2 cubic feet. You'll find cloth seats on the two lower trims, and leather upholstery on the LT and Premier. Luxurious available features include heated and ventilated front seats, driver's seat memory settings, and with the Confidence and Convenience Package, the Equinox comes with a panoramic sunroof and dual-zone climate control.
Although classified as a compact SUV, the Chevrolet Equinox has a large amount of cargo space. Fold the rear seat flat and you get a massive 63.9 cubic feet of cargo space, which gives you plenty of room to carry golf clubs, a surfboard, or camping gear. Loading your supplies into the back of the Equinox is easy with the available hands-free gesture liftgate. As with the Trailblazer, the 40/60 split-folding rear bench seat in the Chevrolet Equinox lets you carry longer items.

Innovative Technology

All of the Trailblazer trims come with Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 system featuring a 7-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, as well as a four-speaker sound system. Add the Technology Package to your Trailblazer to get Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a six-speaker audio system, which comes standard on the LT and Premier trims. Available features include navigation, a wireless charging pad, and voice-activation for the infotainment system.
The Equinox has many of the same technology features as the Trailblazer, including the same infotainment system. However, Bluetooth and voice recognition come standard across the Equinox trims. Add the Infotainment II Package to the three upper trims to get navigation, HD radio, four USB ports, a 110-volt outlet, and an eight-speaker Bose sound system.

Safety and Driver-Assist Features

Both the Trailblazer and Equinox come with a host of standard and available driver-assist features including Teen Driver. Key standard safety features include forward-collision alert with automatic emergency braking and a rear vision camera. Add the Technology Package to the Trailblazer for features such as a lane mitigation system and adaptive cruise control.

Historical Sites in Lewisville, TX
February 26, 2021
Lewisville, Texas, is a thriving community with a recorded history that dates back to the early 1840s. With such a long and fascinating history, it's easy to see why the area is a must-see for history buffs. If you're interested in learning more about the past in the area, check out these interesting historical sites in Lewisville.

Greater Lewisville Community Theatre

The Greater Lewisville Community Theatre is an intimate community theater situated in the heart of downtown Lewisville. The theater is located in a historic building originally built in 1885 to house Cobb's Dry Goods Store, making it the oldest building in Lewisville. After Cobb's Dry Goods Store closed, the building was home to a church. Eventually, the Greater Lewisville Community Theatre purchased the building in 1997 as its permanent home.
The best way to check out the original architecture of the historic building is to purchase a ticket to see a show at the theater. Each year, the Greater Lewisville Community Theatre hosts a variety of eclectic and exciting stage plays and special musical productions that are sure to delight everyone.

Old Well House

Lewisville has a unique piece of history sitting directly in front of City Hall: the Old Well House. When Lewisville was incorporated in 1925, the city had a population of around 850. W.W. Sherrill owned the water company that provided water services to these residents. The system included a well, a water tank, and a distribution network. However, this distribution network was limited, and it mostly provided water to faucets in front yards. Residents then had to carry this water into their homes.
Realizing they needed a better water system if they wanted to grow, town leaders eventually sold bonds to purchase Sherrill's water system and build the well house, which became the city's first municipal building. In the years after its construction, the building also housed Lewisville's fire truck, a police station, and a variety of city offices. Today, it provides restrooms to people visiting the downtown area.
During renovations, numerous efforts were made to keep as much of the original 1920s interior and exterior style as possible. Although the original tin ceiling on the 12-foot ceilings wasn't salvageable, a similar style was installed. Additionally, several windows and doors were restored to their original design. Even the paint colors are ones that were common during the 1920s.

Old Alton Bridge

Located about 11 miles north of Lewisville in Argyle, the Old Alton Bridge is a historic iron truss bridge that crosses Hickory Creek and connects the cities of Copper Canyon and Denton. The bridge was constructed in 1884 to carry horses and later vehicles across the creek at a spot that was popular for crossing cattle. The bridge was named after the abandoned community of Alton, which was actually the seat of Denton County from 1850 to 1856.
The Old Alton Bridge was heavily traveled and in constant use until 2001. However, because of its single-lane design and sharp curves on both sides of the creek, motorists had to honk their car horns before crossing the span. As a result of these safety concerns, a new concrete-and-steel bridge was built next to the Old Alton Bridge. Today, the Old Alton Bridge is open to pedestrian and equestrian traffic and is a popular spot for photographers and nature lovers. It's also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area

Many people visit Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area to enjoy kayaking, fishing, hiking, and camping in the scenic nature preserve. Although you might not realize it, the preserve is also a great place to check out some historical sites. This is where you can find the Minor-Porter Log House. In 1869, William Tipton Minor moved from Alabama to the Lewisville area. Soon after he arrived, he bought property in what would eventually become Highland Village and built a log home there.
In 1881, Minor married Vesta Ann Nowlin. They had two children: a son named Beecher and a daughter named Alice. When Alice married Clarence Olin Porter in 1901, the couple moved into the log house. They started covering the logs with siding and adding rooms to the home. Eventually, most people forgot a log house formed the bones of what they now called the Prairie House.
After Alice and Clarence passed away, their children inherited the property and sold it for development. During demolition of the Prairie House, the historic log home was discovered and donated to the city of Lewisville. The city moved the home to the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area and reconstructed it. Today, the Minor-Porter Log House is a fine example of the meticulous detail that went into building log homes in the 1800s.

Old Town Lewisville

Old Town is in the heart of Lewisville and a charming area that offers a unique variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities. Most of the structures in Old Town date back to the 1880s, and many of them have a fascinating history to discover. For example, the building that houses Main Street Cafe was originally built in 1885 as a house for Dr. J.W. Kennedy, who was once forced to provide medical care to Bonnie and Clyde.
As you stroll down the brick-lined sidewalks, be sure to take in the beautiful historic buildings with their architecturally rich details. These buildings house everything from local boutiques that sell vintage clothing to restaurants serving Southern comfort food and handcrafted drinks. You also want to make sure you take some time to check out the entertainment district in Old Town. In addition to the public performing arts center, this district also hosts concerts, festivals, and public art events throughout the year.

Why an EV Might Be the Right Choice for You
March 07, 2021
Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly gaining popularity. In 2010, there were just 17,000 electric vehicles on the road worldwide. In 2019, sales of electric cars were over 2.1 million around the world, marking a 40% year-on-year increase and bringing the total number of EVs to 7.2 million. While you might invest more in an electric vehicle upfront, you'll reap a wealth of benefits that you can enjoy over the entire lifetime of the car.
If you're thinking about switching to an electric car, there are many compelling reasons to do so. Consider these great perks of switching to an EV from a traditional gas-powered vehicle.

Cheaper Driving Per Mile

The fuel efficiency of an electric vehicle is calculated in kilowatt-hours (kWh) per 100 miles. To accurately determine how much it costs to drive an electric car, you'll need to know the vehicle's efficiency and the cost of electricity. The average cost of electricity in Texas is 12 cents per kWh. In the 2021 Chevy Bolt, you'll use just 29 kWh per 100 miles, so the cost per mile is about $0.03.
Gas-powered vehicles simply can't measure up. The 2021 Chevy Malibu averages 32.5 mpg. If gas costs $2.30 a gallon, you're spending $0.07 a mile, even with a high level of efficiency. Fluctuating gas prices will influence this number, but in most cases, you'll find that an electric car is two to three times cheaper per mile than a gas-powered vehicle.
Over five years, the driver of an electric vehicle will save an average of $4,000 to $5,000 compared to a gasoline-powered vehicle.

Less Maintenance

A gasoline engine is a complex mechanical component. There are more than two dozen parts in a gas engine that require routine maintenance to stay in working condition. Not only will you spend more money maintaining a gas-powered vehicle, but you'll also invest more time in maintenance. Whether you do the maintenance yourself or take the time to drive to and from a dealership where you await professional service, you're still taking precious hours out of your day.
Some maintenance that you can avoid when you're using a purely electric vehicle includes:
•	Oil changes.
•	Air filter changes.
•	Transmission service.
•	New spark plugs.
•	Cooling system flushes.
•	Replacement drive belts.

Ever-lasting Brake Pads

Electric vehicles use something known as regenerative braking to stop the car. In a traditional vehicle, the brake pads and brake rotors create friction that slows and eventually stops the vehicle. In an electric vehicle, the brake simply sends a message to the electric motor that signals it to go into reverse. As the vehicle shifts its energy to moving backward, it effectively stops the car. 
Best of all, the action of moving backwards generates electricity for the vehicle's engine. The car stores this in the batteries and uses it to further fuel your driving. Regenerative braking works best in stop-and-go driving situations.
Electric cars are also equipped with friction brakes for situations where regenerative braking won't work, so you're not entirely at the mercy of this new and innovative form of braking. However, you may use your friction brakes so infrequently that you have to change them rarely, if ever.

Tax Incentives

Many electric vehicles are eligible for tax credits. Drivers who purchase a qualifying all-electric vehicle may receive a federal rebate of up to $7,500 on their taxes. The total amount of the rebate depends upon the energy storage capacity of the vehicle. Therefore, plug-in hybrids are eligible for a smaller rebate. 
Unfortunately, current legislation has placed a cap of 200,000 eligible vehicles on manufactures. Tesla reached the cap by the end of 2019, and GM hit this cap in 2020. New legislation may remove the 200,000 vehicle ceiling. The proposed GREEN Act includes tax code revision that would raise the cap to 600,000 vehicles. After selling 600,000 eligible vehicles, the credit would reduce by 50% for one quarter before ending.
The GREEN Act may also provide a tax credit of up to $2,500 for the purchase of a used electric car. Under the current proposed bill, the vehicle must be at least two years old and no more than $25,000 to qualify. 
Additional tax credits are available at the state level. In Texas, you can receive a rebate grant of up to $2,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle. The state allows for 2,000 such rebate grants every two years.

Improved Handling and Performance

Electric cars are a zippy alternative to gas-powered vehicles, with outstanding handling that keeps you in complete control on the road. You can trace this functionality back to the vehicle's technology. Electric vehicles send power directly to the wheels while a gas-powered vehicle has to route the power through the transmission and drivetrain. The further that power has to go, the more is lost on the way to the wheels.
Electric cars feature a heavy ion-battery pack on the floor pan, which pulls them closer to the ground. This low center of gravity improves handling and reduces the chance of overturning or losing traction as you navigate sharp corners.

Green Operation

If you're concerned about your impact on the environment, an electric vehicle is the best choice by far. Electric vehicles produce no direct emissions. A typical passenger vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. While electric vehicles are still responsible for emissions related to vehicle manufacturing and the production and distribution of electricity, these are far less.
Internal combustion cars can also leak harmful fluids that may damage plants and animals when they seep into the ground. If you want to live a greener lifestyle, an electric vehicle is an effective way to do so.
If you're interested in learning more about your options in the world of EVs, come to Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville. We have several Chevrolet Bolt EVs on the lot that you can check out. Take this vehicle for a test drive and feel the difference of an electric car for yourself. You may be surprised at how comfortable, convenient, and powerful electric vehicles are.

Best Features of the 2021 Tahoe
March 22, 2021
If you're in need of a large SUV with room for the whole family to travel in comfort, Chevrolet has you covered with the new 2021 Tahoe. With three rows of seats, ample cargo storage, and a powerful engine, what's not to like about Chevy's redesigned family SUV? Let's take a look at some of the Tahoe's best features.

The Engine Lineup

Even the Chevy's base 5.3-liter V-8 provides an impressive 355 horsepower. If you want a faster ride, try upgrading to the 6.2-liter V-8, which generates 420 horsepower. Alternatively, a new addition for 2021 is the 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine, which offers improved fuel economy while not sacrificing too much of the raw power. Considering the size of the Tahoe and how powerful its V-8 engines are, its fuel economy score is one of the best in the large SUV class with 16 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.

Plenty of Space Inside

Chevy made some big changes to the Tahoe for 2021, dealing with a lack of storage space and limited legroom in the third row of the 2020 model. The wheel base is now longer, helping to create an additional 10 inches of cabin space. This means that adults can comfortably sit wherever they like. Chevy's redesign managed to combine more legroom for passengers with a whopping 30% increase in storage space compared to the 2020 model. When the rear rows of seats fold down, you have more than 120 cubic feet of space.
Even with a full load of passengers, the Tahoe has ample room for luggage and supplies. You get 25.5 cubic feet of storage space behind the third row and an impressive 72.6 feet behind the second row.
Impressive Towing Ability

Along with a cavernous cabin, this SUV is capable of hauling plenty of weight at its rear. From your boat to a camper, the Tahoe can tow pretty much anything under 8,400 pounds. If you regularly tow, you can upgrade to get access to some helpful features. These include hitch guidance on the rearview camera, a trailer brake controller, a two-speed transfer case, and an in-vehicle Advanced Trailering System.
A New Suspension for a Smoother Ride

2021 introduces an independent suspension to handle road bumps and scale uneven surfaces. In some of the Tahoe's higher trims, such as the Z71, you can add a premium rear suspension for even greater comfort. Coupled with four-wheel drive, which comes standard with the Z71, the new suspension gives you the stability you need to enjoy a luxury ride.

Five Infotainment Displays in the Cabin

The Tahoe can be equipped with up to five infotainment displays, which ensures that your passengers find entertainment wherever they're sitting. In addition to the 10.2-inch dash monitor, the Tahoe boasts twin touch screens as part of its rear-media center. This console can give your kids access to their favorite games or music through a wireless hot spot. Other infotainment features include Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, and six audio speakers. You can choose from two premium sound systems for extra performance.
The Tahoe's six USB ports allow your passengers to keep their electronic devices charged and connected while you're on the go. If they want to link their phones to your infotainment system, they can take advantage of the wireless access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Good Selection of Standard Safety and Driver Assistance Features

For a vehicle in the large SUV class, the Tahoe boasts a broad range of safety and assistance features.
Front automatic emergency braking and a front collision warning come standard, offering some extra peace of mind whether you're cruising on the highway or around town. Although the Tahoe may appear like a challenging vehicle to park, its camera and parking sensors make this job a lot easier. And if you want additional help, try upgrading to the surround-view parking system, which includes eight cameras placed at various points around the vehicle. A number of convenient features, including rain-sensing windshield wipers and automatic headlights, make the Chevy Tahoe even more enjoyable to drive.
In case your kids are learning to drive, the Tahoe's Teen Driver feature lets you limit the Tahoe's speed and the volume of music.

Trims Catering to Everyone's Needs

The five trims in the Tahoe's lineup — LS, LT, Z71, Premier, and High Country — give buyers like you various options to customize your ride. If carrying more passengers is your primary concern, the LS is the only trim offering nine seats. It comes with climate control, proximity keyless entry, and remote start. For a bit more luxury, the LT is equipped with 10-way adjustable front seats, which have leather coverings. Drivers who enjoy off-roading will like the Z71, which features four-wheel drive as standard. You also get a front skid plate, heavy-duty air filter, and hill descent control.
The Premier trim takes interior comfort to the next level. While dropping some of the Z71's capabilities for going off the beaten path, it includes 12-way power adjustable front seats, leather seating throughout, and a 10-speaker audio system. You'll also get larger alloy wheels and a navigation system. The 8-inch driver display gives you an overview of your Tahoe's performance as you drive.
To enjoy the Tahoe's full power, you'll need to upgrade to the top High Country trim. It comes equipped with the stronger V-8 engine with 420 horsepower. On top of that, adaptive air suspension ensures a relaxing ride. The 15-inch head-up display makes it easier for you to keep an eye on your SUV's performance while you're on the go.
We hope we've been able to give you a better idea of some of the 2021 Tahoe's outstanding features. Do you still have questions about its performance, interior specs, or design features?
