The Chevy Traverse seamlessly offers the space and versatility your family needs, great for everything from gear to groceries.
Although the weather is cooling off, there’s still plenty of time for outdoor activities here in the D. Grabbing a group of friends and signing up for a 5K race is the perfect way to spend part of a day. Not only will it give you something to look forward to, but many of these Metro Detroit races are organized to help support a fund or organization. And we all know there’s nothing better than giving back to our communities and wonderful causes in our area. Here’s a list of upcoming fall 5Ks in and around Detroit to keep you motivated and to help others…
