One thing we're infinitely proud about when it comes to latching onto the Toyota Motors crest upon our shirts is the company's longstanding involvement with eco-friendly vehicles of all kinds. It goes without saying that the Toyota Prius has reigned supreme in the world of green vehicles for more than a decade, nearly a decade and a half actually, and the name "Prius" has more or less become synonymous with the very notion…
Via Facebook, Twitter, or while strolling through our store for Toyota Service or to buy a new Toyota or used vehicle you may have noticed shamrocks of gold and green colors adorning our wall, or you may have seen the "support MDA" posters in our waiting room or entryway. In fact, I know many of you saw these, because many of you supported the cause and allowed us to raise enough money to pay for…
For the past 12 months I have been aggressively posting vehicles to Craigslist. Surprisingly we gain a large amount of website visits accordingly, although to be honest I'm not sure who is looking for brand new Toyota vehicles via Craigslist, but incredulous or not, it happens. Regardless of whether my surprise is marked by logic or ignorance, I was shocked to find the most absurdly under regulated website on the internet to up the…
In just eight short days the "Boys of Summer" take the field to begin 2011's MLB season, and while the professional ball players the world over get ready to roll, I began my own venture into baseball land this past Sunday, marked by my (official) grand entrance into a fantasy baseball league.
The draft took place at Mug Shot's, a bar in Staten Island, NY. My son and I left Vermont at 4…
Since 2011's inception the internet has been abuzz with discussions on the upcoming Prius family. For those of you who may be unaware or who have forgotten, those of us chirping about the issue are talking about a family of four Prius' (I know--the plural form of Prius has been finalized; we'll discuss this momentarily) which are the:
It's Friday afternoon at Handy Toyota, the sun is doing all it can to shine, and the last day of winter is showing signs of the spring that we all have been very patiently waiting for. The weekend is forecasted to be bright and sunny with seasonal temperatures of 40 degrees. To me, this sounds like ideal spring skiing weather and I plan on being at Smugglers Notch doing my share of…
What do you look for in a vendor's booth at any display at a show like Collins Perley Sports Complex and the St. Albans Rotary Club's Home Show? Do you look for merchandise? Free stuff and giveaways? Prizes? Nice people and a great atmosphere?
Well good news! The handycars.com Home Show display for 2011 has all of the above!
To start, Handy Toyota sent up the all new 2011 Toyota Tacoma TX…
As many of you know, year and year again handycars.com and the Handy Family of Dealerships (Handy Toyota and Handy Chevrolet) set up a display at the annual Home Show at Collins Perley Sports Complex on Route 105 in St. Albans, VT, and this year is no different. Adam and I have a pretty excellent booth being put together and I'd like to give you a brief look into what we'll have…
Another Town Meeting Day has come and gone in St. Albans, VT, and the results are in. It seemed a real challenge this year to complete one's civic duty when all polling places were virtual hockey rinks just begging for someone to take a fall. I feel salt for the area is a good item to pencil in for next year.
It the hotly contested Saint Albans City Ward 3 Alderman election, the question is this: how does Webster's Dictionary define a romp? I send my congratulations to newly elected City Councilman Aaron O'Grady and his team…
Hello all! Another Friday has come and yet another week has nearly gone by. March came in like a lamb but quickly snapped us back to reality with the cold front that arrived on the second, a chill that's continued thus far. The weekend is going to bring rain and a warm front so the real March weather patterns are alive and well. Warm, cold, and everything in between is the norm in Vermont…
