They give their opinions on Buick's new ride
At Holm Automotive Center in Abilene we are always anxious to
hear what others have to say about our products and services. When the Abilene
Kiwanis Club was asked if they wanted to take a brand new Buick Lacrosse to
Manhattan for an inter-club meeting they were a little worried, "Does Tim know
we are doing this?" Well actually, Tim is probably finding out about it right
now, but we are sure that he will be happy with the idea!
Joe Nold was brave enough to volunteer as the driver and with
a brief overview was able to familiarize himself with the new technology. Art
Nease rode shotgun. Since it was another hot day, they really enjoyed the cooled
front seats. Duane Cooper and Gale Whitehair were able to enjoy plenty of
legroom in the back and didn't have to raise their voices to carry a
conversation even with the XM radio tuned to their favorite classics. The
members gave positive feedback.Here is what they had to say.
- The backseat was extremely comfortable! - Gale
- Great Ride! Enjoyed the trip. - Art
- Liked the styling! The tires were a touch noisy in the back but other than that it was very quiet!" - Duane

Surprise! We Came to Abilene from McPherson for a Chevy Camaro!
"Are you kidding me!?" Those were Brenda Hawk's words when she
finally realized that her husband, Troy, had brought her to Abilene to pick up
her anniversary present, a brand new 2010 Chevy Camaro! The plan was put into
motion a week earlier when Troy inquired through the internet about our Camaro
selection. Hunter McMillen sprung into action getting Tony all of the
information he needed to help him make his decision. A few days later, Troy and
his son Colton snuck up for a test drive and a trade appraisal. Once all the
details were in place, Hunter went to work getting the car ready for delivery
and parked on the showroom with a ribbon and card. Troy's job was a little more
tricky. He had to figure out how to convince Brenda to take an evening trip from
McPherson to Abilene. He was successful even though after a long day at work
Brenda wasn't too keen on the idea. Her mood quickly brightened though when she
realized what the trip was really for. The whole plan went off without a hitch
and the Hawks were able get on their way in time to drive into the
sunset.
Everyone involved with helping the Hawks enjoyed the
experience immensely and we are all gratefull for allowing us to take part. It's
not every day in the car business that you get to see something like that. With
plenty more Camaro's on the lot maybe you could surprise your spouse
too?!
