Not all New Year’s Eve events and parties in Tampa Bay are made the same. Depending on your personal
preferences and style, your ideal New Year’s Eve celebration might be far
different than the average Joe—and that’s completely fine. At Dimmitt Chevrolet,
your premier TampaBay Chevy Dealer, we want to help you find that ideal. Instead of simply
following in the footsteps of every other NYE party-goer in Tampa Bay, choose
your own path and take a new adventure
into 2017. Who knows? You might find an annual New Year’s Eve tradition that’s
perfectly suited for little old you.

Comedy is the peanut butter to your jelly. In your heyday,
John Belushi was the president-elect of your fraternity. When you hear the word
“toga,” images of mashed potatoes come to
mind rather than Julius Caesar. Your college GPA looks better as a score on a
par-three hole. To you, a food fight is a
rite of passage and a new year is just an open invitation to run wild.
Will you revive your fun-loving self and ring in 2017 with
an Animal House-themed NYE event? (Click Here)
Or are you comfortable playing the Dean Wormer character?

As a trusted Chevy
dealer near Tampa Bay, we know what makes drivers tick. We know they want a
reliable vehicle without having to pony up
the big bucks. We know they expect modern features to keep them connected and
safe. We know they seek interior spaciousness as much as exterior style, and
turn their heads away from vehicles that aren’t up to snuff. But most of all,
we know they (probably) love creative car commercials and videos.
Below you’ll find 10 of Dimmit Chevrolet’s favorite Chevy videos
and ads. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll do a combination of both, while also
scratching that itch of finding out which Chevrolet is right for you. Enjoy!
Emoji-Reviewed 2016
Chevy Cruze
Emojis may have opened up some kind of portal leading back
to the Stone Age, but sometimes a pixelated emotion does have more of an impact than mere words. Yes, it’s true that
the 2016
Cruze and its estimated 42 MPG will save you enough cash for an extra meal,
but doesn’t a taco emoji say the same thing?
My Dad’s Chevy
This heartwarming Chevy commercial answers the question: How
do you pay back the man you’ve idolized since your childhood? By gifting him a
healthy dose of nostalgia, that’s how. Chevy runs deep, indeed.
Hello, 2018 Equinox!
World, meet the 2018
Chevy Equinox, an SUV so beautifully composed, it borders on perfection.
Advanced safety tech, incredible fuel efficiency, and a spacious interior are
just a few features in the Equinox that will give you everything you need to do
everything you want in life.
Teen Driving Report
Cards
Parents, there’s no such thing as overreacting when it comes
to your teen’s poor driving habits. No matter how well-adjusted your teen is,
they’re certain to be distracted by a text or egged on by the triple-digits on
the speedometer. Show them who’s boss and grab one of the ten Chevy models with
optional Teen Driver technology.
A Truly Romantic
(WiFi) Connection
Available on new Chevy models, built-in 4G LTE WiFi awards
you the capability to browse the internet, check sports scores, or watch all
your favorite reality dating shows and soap operas. Give your rose to the one
true love of your life—a brand-new Chevrolet.
Celebrate the 50th
Anniversary of the Chevy Camaro
Fifty years of the Camaro equals 600 months of inspirational
ingenuity. That’s over 2600 weeks of sporty styling, more than 18000 days of
powerful performance, or 438000 minutes of era-defining design. And at Dimmitt
Chevrolet, we’d like to make a toast to you, Chevy
Camaro. At a ripe 50 years of age, you’re an enduring marvel if there ever
was one.
Anybody’s Best Friend
We all battle life’s bumps and steep inclines on the way
toward our destination. But if this tear-jerker of a Chevy commercial proves
anything, it’s that life’s journey isn’t just about the end, but also its beginning. Make sure you have a best friend
to share the adventure with. (If anyone
asks why you’re crying after watching this video, tell them someone must be
chopping onions.)
Hole-y Truck Bed,
Batman
This video compares the truck beds on two of America’s
best-selling pickups, the Chevy
Silverado and Ford F-150. Which one steels the show? Let’s just say that
#SilveradoStrong is a trendier hashtag (yes, the Silverado’s steel bed
hands-down outperformed Ford’s aluminum bed).
Purely American
Like Chevrolet, traditions run deep right here in the good
old U.S.A. Age, gender, location—none of that matters when America’s roots all
grow from the same soil. Find your slice of apple pie in one of the country’s
most recognized brands: A new Chevy.
The Potential of a
Chevy Volt
What was true five
years ago remains true now: Chevrolet is continually driving our planet forward.
The Chevy
Volt gives drivers a world of possibilities, not limitations, thanks to an
extended driving range, powerful Lithium-ion battery, and premium electric
drive modes. Let’s cut down on emissions, one Chevy at a time.

for sale at Dimmitt Chevrolet, visit our new and used car dealership in

Sixties-era purists may balk at the new
2017 Corvette, with its aggressively aerodynamic and wide body, dotted
high-performance tires, and burly V8 engine. They may recoil at the sight of
Chevy’s unique heads-up display, scoff at its integrated driver-mode knob, and
shake their heads when presented with its customizable instrumentation cluster.
These features were all but inconceivable in the sports car’s heyday, when
hitting 60 mph in under eight seconds would have been equally as miraculous as
discovering the Fountain of Youth.
No, your father’s Corvette it is not. And that’s a good
thing—the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette is much, much
better, and it’s available right now at Dimmitt Chevrolet – your preferred new

those who’ve already been around the proverbial block—to double- and

into high gear, there’s no better time to ensure your child is safeguarded in the back seat.
Fill up on the resources below, and come to our Chevy dealership if you need an
upgrade in safety. We have a large selection of modern, new Chevy cars and quality used cars for sale in Clearwater that will protect you and your family’s
wellbeing in the event of an accident.
Florida may be the official home of NASCAR, but its roots stretch
further than just the Sunshine State’s soil. From as far north as Chicago,
where Al Capone ran one of the most lucrative “bootlegging” operations during
Prohibition, souped-up cars began gaining traction in the illegal alcohol
trade.
Even Lee Petty,
a North Carolina native and one of the sport’s first heroes, had traversed the backroads of the South with hidden caches of
moonshine and bathtub gin—all while evading the coppers. When Bill France Sr.
headed up NASCAR in the late 40s, the stage had already been set for stock car
racing to develop into the phenomenon it is today.
For fans of the sport, its history may not be a revelation,
but rather a reminder that prohibition wasn’t all that bad. After all, would
America have such fond memories of Daisy Duke and the General Lee if it weren’t
for the decade-plus run where booze-craving ingenuity overshadowed ethical
business practices? We think not.
With Chevy being an official manufacturer of NASCAR engines,
we at Dimmitt Chevrolet thought it prudent to showcase the sport’s upcoming races
that are within driving distance from Clearwater. Plan a trip through those same
backroad-laden states that started Lee Petty’s career, and enjoy one (or all)
of these boisterously electrifying events.
As a premier Chevrolet dealership in Clearwater, we at Dimmitt Chevrolet have come to know the Silverado as a throwback to a time when dusty roads led to more dusty roads, when High Noon was a time for dueling rather than eating a late lunch, and when saloons offered moonshine to spurred-boot wearers on horseback.
But 2016 has brought forth a new era of Chevy Silverado. Now the beloved Chevy trucks are packed with contemporary features and un-truck-like comforts that leave the traditional pickup style in its rearview.
Here’s what you can expect from the new lineup of Chevy Silverado 1500s.
New Chevy Silverado Look
Don’t judge a book by its cover: A good motto by which to live, but it holds little value when it comes to the 2016 Silverado. In fact, the Silverado’s cover is equally as remarkable as the rest of the vehicle.
The sun and beach might have enough for most people, but
Dimmitt Chevrolet understands that variety is the spice of life. Even though we
are experts in used and new Chevrolet vehicles, we are no strangers to the Tampa Bay scene. Check out
these special summer events, and make sure to enjoy the ride!

The Clearwater Beach
Restaurant Week – May 6th
through May 22nd
Starting Friday, May 6th, you’re invited to
attend Clearwater Beach Restaurant Week and nibble on some of the best local
food your stomach could ask for.
This two-week extravaganza is promoted by the Clearwater
Beach Chamber of Commerce and celebrates
the diversity found within local eateries along the coastline. Restaurants will
showcase their flair with dishes that’ll leave you weak in your knees, all
while competing for “Best in Class” within their respective cuisine category.
Having accepted the criticisms of its previous Malibu models, Chevy recast its mold and designed what may be the year’s most-improved car. The newly upgraded 2016 Chevrolet Malibu boasts a leaner and longer frame, lighter 1.5L four-cylinder engine, and modern interior that out-duels its midsize competitors—all while proving that new cars are more than affordable. As the premier new and used car dealer in Clearwater, we at Dimmitt Chevrolet are proud to have the newest Malibu in stock and revving to go.
Passenger-Friendly Comforts Abound
What sets apart the 2016 Malibu from its predecessors is its interior, especially the superb spaciousness. Despite only modest changes made to its previous models’ length—only 2.3” length added overall—the newest 2016 Malibu feels much roomier. Chevy added more than an inch of leg room in the rear, and lowered the newly lengthened front seats and patterned dash to increase headroom throughout the cabin. Amazingly, these fairly minor alterations seem to be transformative, as the car feels better suited to the category of “full-size sedan” rather than its current “midsize” class.
CLEARWATER, Fla. – For the second consecutive year Dimmitt Chevrolet was named one of Tampa Bay’s top 100 places to work by the Tampa Bay Times.
This year Dimmitt Chevrolet earned fifth place among area small businesses according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Dimmitt Chevrolet and the other 99 honorees were selected by a survey of over 30,000 employees in the Tampa Bay area. The 92-year-old dealership has been a staple in the Tampa Bay community for nearly a century and employs 120 people.
“Being named two years in a row as one of the best employers in Tampa Bay is an honor, one that we are thrilled to receive,” said Scott Collore, general manager of Dimmitt Chevrolet. “It is really a testament to our continued commitment of excellence to our employees, customers and community.”
The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including alignment, execution, and connection.
The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees.”
Job seekers interested in joining the Dimmitt Chevrolet family are encouraged to stop by the dealership to fill out an application.

To coordinate with the release of the 2016 Chevy Camaro, Chevrolet has introduced an intriguing mobile app that allows users to quickly customize their 2016 Camaro, highlighting all the features that are important to them.
With its three main options – Customize, Tech, and Vision – the all-new Camaro SIX app gives users a hands-on virtual opportunity to design a custom 2016 Camaro, along with an overview of the Camaro’s innovative technology and an immersive peek inside the new model. Once you’ve gotten your Camaro just the way you like it, stop by Dimmitt Chevrolet, your local Chevy dealer in Clearwater, FL to get behind the wheel today.
Next Level Customization
Chevrolet has always been at the head of the pack when it comes to groundbreaking technology, and their new app is no different. Camaro SIX users can customize the Camaro’s interior and exterior while learning about the benefits of the car’s all-new physique. One such highlight from the app: drivers can command the road with available magnetic ride control, technology that reads the road to adjust the suspension for high-performance driving, while never sacrificing a smooth ride.
Talk about blowing away the competition. The Chevrolet Camaro is a certified two-time champion, having won two of the most prestigious automotive awards in the industry: The coveted "Golden Calipers" as Motor Trend Magazine's 2016 Car of the Year, and Car And Driver Magazine's "10Best" for 2016. In each case, the Camaro left competitors in the dust with its aggressive styling, muscular performance, and world-class handling.
Best Of The Best
Each year, Car And Driver Magazine puts some of the world's finest automobiles through a grueling test to see who will come out on top as one of its 10 best cars for 2016. A vehicle must impress judges not just with their driving and technological prowess, but with their soul and character to succeed at being one of the automotive world's elite. We're proud to say that after a week of some of the most rigorous testing imaginable, the 2016 Chevy Camaro bested arch-rivals Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger as the publication's pick for top muscle car.
Car And Driver's Jared Gall simply said that the bold new 2016 Camaro for sale in Clearwater at Dimmitt Chevrolet is nothing less than "a Corvette with a back seat."
