The Best Deal, Bar None
 
We've Got It!
I like to point out that we don’t sell cars, we help people buy them. In these challenging times, this differentiates Herb Chambers significantly from our competitors and the industry at large. From my early days in the car business I’ve been emphatic about treating our customers as guests and want them to look, kick the tires, test drive and ask any questions about any vehicle we offer in all of our 44 dealerships.  And, as the largest factory authorized new & pre-owned vehicle dealer in New England, our scale has helped us offer some pretty sweet deals on literally hundreds of different vehicle models.  
 
Let me take this opportunity to point out that this has never been truer!
 
If you are thinking about shopping for a new or pre-owned certified vehicle, there has never been a better time to do so -

How to Avoid Hidden Holiday Travel Costs

Airlines, hotels and rental cars all have hidden fees. Here's how to get around them.
How To Avoid Hidden Holiday Travel Costs Chances are, you're headed to the airport sometime this holiday season, but not to visit a quiet, sandy beach (even if you deserve it).
Unlike travel seasons past, the upcoming one has more to do with visiting loved ones. In a Nov. 4 survey conducted by research firm Harris Interactive in conjunction with the Washington, D.C.-based Travel Industry Association, 71% of Americans said that spending extra money on travel during the holiday season is worthwhile--so long as it affords them time with family and friends.

2009 Toyota Venza
All-new wagon is 70-percent car, 30-percent truck
by permission of New Car Test Drive

The all-new 2009 Toyota Venza is spacious, like a minivan. It rides and handles like a sporty sedan. And it has premium equipment and attributes normally associated with SUVs. Yet it's smaller and lower than an SUV. And far more utilitarian than an ordinary passenger car.
 
So what is it?

Ditch Your Laptop for These Gadgets?
11 ways to Lose Laptop headaches
Courtesy forbes.com

Remember the TRS-80 100?
That slim, sturdy machine, first sold through Radio Shack in 1983, had everything a road warrior really needed. The computers had a modem, a good, chunky keyboard and the ability to write up to 11 pages of text. And it only weighed 3.1 pounds.

By contrast, many of today's laptops are a step backward. Sure, they can play some video games, surf the Web and handle modern e-mail and calendar software. But they're big, they're heavy and they're easy to break.

Holiday Five-Spice Gingersnaps

Typical gingersnaps lean toward the soothingly plain; these are the opposite of that, spicy with chewy crystallized ginger and aromatic with Chinese five-spice powder.

Movie Review: The Day The Earth Stood Still

Klaatu (Keanu Reeves) arrives on Earth with the giant robot Gort in tow. His vehicle of choice is a giant, pulsating sphere which parks in New York's Central Park. Before Klaatu can intone, "Take Me to Your Leader" to the greeting party headed by Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly), he has been shot and is on his way to an undercover medical lab for surgery.

...On Jingle Bells



"There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy-
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie-It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives-These wonderful things are the things-We remember all through our lives."
