Morrie’s Teen Driving School – April 15th Recap
Apr 18th
This past weekend, we conducted our first Morrie’s Street Smarts Teen Driving School of 2017. Although the morning was wet and cloudy, it made for more challenging conditions to test our students’ skills. We put them through a number of challenges designed to simulate a wide range of driving situations, and each student came away from the day with a newfound respect for tricky road conditions and a better understanding of how to handle themselves behind the wheel. Although our events tend to fill up fast, head over to our Morrie’s Teen School website to register your teen from one of our classes this summer.
Highlights of the 2017 New York International Auto Show
Apr 18th
In addition to a slew of sports cars and other expensive sheetmetal, the New York International Auto Show played host to the launch of no less than half a dozen SUVs and crossovers. Indeed, with gas prices sinking and road trip season upon us, the time is right to show off all of the big family-hauling adventure-mobiles. So let’s take a look at some of our favorite cars, trucks, and SUVs that debuted at the NYIAS this year, or were at least new to us.
#MorriesRoadTrip: Our Favorite Road Trip Songs
Apr 14th
Some stretches of a drive call for silence so you can truly appreciate what’s happening outside your car, but a great playlist is essential for a road trip. You need the right mixture of songs and genres to ensure you won’t get sick of your playlist and switch back to the radio. Don’t feel like putting together your own playlist? We put one together that has something for everyone. Listen to the #MorriesRoadTrip playlist on Spotify.
Morrie’s Goes to The Big Apple – NYIAS 2017
Apr 12th
Ahhh. Spring is in the air and new cars are starting to hit the streets. So what better place to see all the latest and greatest vehicles coming our way this summer and beyond than at the New York International Auto Show? Luckily for us, Javits Center is just the place for us to get up close and personal with all of the latest models from Ford, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Cadillac, and many, many more. Some highlights of the show included Nissan’s Rogue Dogue, which featured a dog-friendly ramp as well as an onboard grooming station for your favorite pups, as well as Lincoln’s production version of the long-awaited Navigator that not only looked stunning but packs a serious punch with a 450-hp Ecoboost V6 borrowed from the Ford Raptor under the elegant hood. It seems NYIAS was a very SUV-intensive show this year, giving us our first look at the Subaru Ascent concept, a 7-seater SUV that was first teased in Los Angeles last year as the VIZIV-7 styling exercise. On the sportier side of things, Cadillac brought out their DPi-V.R. race car that has swept the first three races of the year in the IMSA series, including the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the recent Long Beach Grand Prix.
