Thank You For Your Coat Donations

Thank You Coat Drive

Thank you for all your donations during our Annual Coat Drive. We love taking car loads of coats, hats, and gloves to the Enumclaw Clothing Bank. Over the last few years Gamblin Motors has supported the Enumclaw Clothing Bank with generous coat donations from our employees, customers, and community members, and it was another successful year. The Enumclaw Clothing Bank is a non-profit organization that offers clothes, coats, shoes and “new” socks and underwear to children in the district that need a little extra help. One day a week the Enumclaw Clothing Bank welcomes families to pick up needed clothing items for FREE.

If you have other clothing items you wish to donate, feel free to drop these items off on Tuesdays at the Enumclaw Clothing Bank. The clothing bank is located JJ Smith School. Any cash donations are used to buy new underwear and socks. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit their website. http://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/families/clothingbank.pdf

Chevrolet Colorado Win Motor Trend 2016 Truck of the Year

 

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Diesel

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Diesel

The all-new Chevrolet Colorado with its all-new 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine won the 2016 Motor Trend Truck the Year awards on Nov. 16, 2015. It is the second consecutive Truck of the Year award for Colorado, the mid-size pickup introduced as a 2015 model.

“With the Camaro and the Colorado turbo-diesel being named as the 2016 Motor Trend Car and Truck the Year, it proves that Chevrolet is building vehicles with great versatility that meet the wants and needs of a wide-spread customer base,” said Alan Gamblin

The Colorado diesel offers the best fuel economy for a pickup truck in the United States, with an Environmental Protection Agency-estimated 31 mpg on the highway for two-wheel drive models, and the highest trailering capability in the midsize truck segment: up to 7,700 pounds (2WD) when equipped with the available trailering package.

Colorado is available this fall, in four-door extended or crew cab models with Work Truck, LT and Z71 trim levels. The diesel engine is offered in LT and Z71 Crew Cab models with 2WD or four-wheel drive. It features a variable-geometry turbocharger for optimal power and efficiency, and is SAE-certified at 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm.

Both the Camaro, which won Motor Trend Car of the year in 1982, and the Colorado are well-connected, offering Chevrolet MyLink with phone integration capability for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as OnStar 4G LTE connectivity and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

GM military support

The GM Military Discount is one way GM continues to support the U.S. military. Forged when its factories were transformed into the Arsenal of Democracy during World War II, GM’s commitment to hiring and helping veterans is stronger than ever.

  • In 2015, GM was recognized by I. Jobs, Military Spouse, Military Times and the State of Michigan for strong support of its more than 5,000 employees who are veterans
  • As a national supporter of Hiring Our Heroes, GM has helped organize more than 900 job fairs where partner companies have hired more than 500,000 veterans since 2012.
  • Through ongoing support of the Achilles Freedom Team and Building for America’s Bravest, GM helps the most seriously wounded veterans recover.

Chevrolet Camaro Wins Motor Trend Car of the Year

The all-new Gen Six Chevrolet Camaro won the 2016 Motor Trend Car of the Year awards on Nov. 16, 2015.

“With the Camaro being named as the 2016 Motor Trend Car the Year, it proves that Chevrolet is building vehicles with great versatility that meet the wants and needs of a wide-spread customer base,” Alan Gamblin.

Motor Trend editors praised the Camaro for its lighter weight, which contributes to “world-class sports car performance and dynamics.”  Six all-new powertrain combinations are offered on the 2016 Camaro, including a standard 2.0L Turbo and an available, all-new 3.6L V-6 in LT models, and the 455-hp LT1 6.2L V-8 in the SS – making it the most powerful Camaro SS to hit the roads. Each engine is available with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

Less weight and more power combines for performance success. With weight savings of up to 390 pounds (177 kg), the all-new Camaro resets performance benchmarks for the segment. The all-new, 455-hp (336 kW) Camaro SS coupe – the most powerful Camaro SS ever – sprints from 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds, when equipped with the all-new eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission.

Vehicle mass has been reduced between 223 and 390 pounds, depending on the model, creating a more nimble, responsive driving experience. A dramatic, sculpted exterior accentuates the leaner, stiffer platform and slightly smaller dimensions. Meticulously tuned in the wind tunnel, the new Camaro’s exterior contributes to performance through reduced aerodynamic lift for better handling while enhancing efficiency.
