Full of new beginnings, September is a great time here in mid-Missouri. Fall is upon us. Football is starting, and the students

are back in town. It really is hard to believe, but sweatshirts, leaf-raking and the holidays are just around the corner. That sounds good to me!

September is also an exciting time at Joe Machens Dealerships, with all of the community activities we are involved in. On Saturday the 12th, it is the 6th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. We are extremely pleased to again be a sponsor in this battle against breast cancer. Be sure to stop by our booth for refreshments and goodies, and we would love to have you join Team Machens.

On Tuesday, September 15th, Joe Machens Ford Lincoln will be holding another Drive 4UR School event. Now in its eighth year, it is an opportunity to raise funds for our local high schools. For each test drive of a new Ford vehicle, Ford Motor Company will donate $20. So spread the word and bring your friends out to help support Columbia students. Which school will earn the most?

Joe Machens Dealerships is also proud to once again sponsor the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” luncheon, Friday, September 25th, at Reynolds Alumni Center on the MU campus. Put on your best red outfit and come learn more about fighting heart disease and stroke.

And finally, a great way to have some fall fun – head out in the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang, this month’s cover feature. First introduced in 1964 at

the New York World’s Fair, the Mustang is a true American icon. And this latest version must be driven to be believed. It is simply amazing. Read up on it on page M9, or get behind the wheel today at Joe Machens Ford Lincoln or Joe Machens Capital City Ford Lincoln.

Have a great Labor Day weekend, and have some fun as we begin the fall of 2015. I hope you enjoy this month’s issue of Machens Advantage. Feel free to let me know your thoughts. My door is always open.

The 2015 Ford Mustang has an abundance of power and some incredibly exhilarating character!

Wow … this was a fantastic test drive. I had the pleasure of spending some time with this super cool car on a super hot day. But the top was down, air conditioning doing its thing and the seat coolers greatly appreciated. Not to mention some classic rock keeping me company – from an awesome sounding 12-speaker system, no less!

The newly designed interior was not only beautiful and attention grabbing, but it was incredibly comfortable, as well. Everything was well thought out for maximum functionality and I found the controls very user friendly. This car just fits! Putting the

top down couldn’t have been easier or more flawless either. Everything you need is right at your fingertips.

Then there’s the actual drive. Strap in because this car not only holds the road but owns it, too! I found myself thinking thoughts like “Speed costs money … how fast can I afford to go?!” Driving this car is an emotional experience. It’s fast, nimble, powerful and even sounds amazing. (this is important!) Oh, and it’s sexy, too. (also important) Whether you’re cruising down I-70 or sitting at a stop light, this one’s an attention grabber.

Adrenaline junkies beware. Driving this car is a rush. And highly addictive. If you have a soft spot for Mustangs, you’ll want to drive this car sooner rather than later. And I HIGHLY recommend the convertible!

FAvoRite FeAtuRe: Well, it was 100+ degrees that day so the seat coolers were one of my favorites. But the entire car was such an experience overall, it’s really impossible to pick just one feature.

You may have noticed the illuminated symbols on your dashboard when you start your car. While these lights

usually go off right away and are soon forgotten, motorists should be car care aware and learn the meaning of their vehicles’ dashboard lights, says the non-profit Car Care Council.

“Warning lights on the dashboard are simply that, warnings. If one of the lights stays on after you start your car, you could potentially have a problem and should have your vehicle inspected for needed repairs,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “By checking your owner’s manual and learning the meaning of each specific dashboard warning light, you’ll be better prepared to take action if one illuminates.”

While dashboard lights may vary by vehicle, the following are examples of common warning lights.

brake SystemAn illuminated brake system light could mean

the parking brake is on, the brake fluid is low, or there is an issue with the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Check to make sure the parking brake is off and have a professional technician check the brake fluid level and diagnose if there is an ABS issue.

tpmS (tire pressure monitoring System)The TPMS light indicates that a tire has low air pressure or there could be an issue with the sensor. Tire pressure should be checked immediately. Some vehicles will allow manual reset of the TPMS warning light while others may require you to bring the vehicle to a professional service technician to reset it.

check engine LightThe check engine light usually indicates that a vehicle system, such as the ignition, fuel injection or emission control, is not operating properly, even if the vehicle appears to be running normally. A glowing check engine light

doesn’t mean you have to immediately pull the car to the side of the road, but it should be inspected as soon as possible. A flashing check engine light requires immediate attention.

oil pressure WarningWhen the oil pressure warning light stays lit, it indicates loss of oil pressure. Have the oil level and pressure checked immediately.

battery/charging AlertThe battery/charging alert indicates that battery voltage level is below normal and the charging system is not functioning properly. Check battery terminals, alternator belt and battery condition.

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers. For a free copy of the council’s popular Car Care Guide or for more information, visit www.carcare.org.

Chrysler was founded in 1925 by Walter P. Chrysler, and it was his commitment to the public that Chrysler would deliver consum-ers a product with quality, beauty, speed, comfort, style and pow-

er, all at a low price. And for the past 90 years, this has been the Chrysler brand’s mission.

Today’s Chrysler brand is the modern expression of this vision. Chrys-ler stands for quality, for design, for craftsmanship, for performance, for efficiency, for innovation and technology – all at a very attainable price.

2015 is the Chrysler brand’s 90th year and to celebrate, the brand is producing limited-edition 90th Anniversary models that offer more standard equipment and value for customers.

“Ninety years ago, Walter P. Chrysler laid the foundation for a philos-ophy that still works today – craftsmanship, beautiful design, innovation and technology, all at an affordable price,” said Al Gardner – President and CEO Chrysler Brand, FCA US LLC. “Those traits still resonate today in both the products – the Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan, 300 full-size se-dan and Town & Country minivan – and with consumers. Chrysler brand sales are up almost 20 percent this year, which is a great foundation for the brand heading into the next 90 years.”

About chrysler brandThe Chrysler brand has delighted customers with distinctive designs, craftsmanship, intuitive innovation and technology all at an extraordi-nary value since the company was founded in 1926.

Whether it is the groundbreaking, bold design of the Chrysler 300, the simple elegance and extraordinary driving experience of the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 or the family-room-on-wheels functionality of the Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler brand vehicles reward the passion, creativity and sense of accomplishment of its owners. Beyond just exceptionally designed vehicles, the Chrysler brand has incorporated thoughtful features into all of its products, such as the innovative center console with pass through storage and sliding cup holders in the 2015 Chrysler 200, the industry-exclusive Stow ‘n Go® seating and storage system on the Chrysler Town & Country and the fuel-saving Fuel Saver Technology in the Chrysler 300.

The Chrysler brand’s succession of innovative product introductions continues to solidify the brand’s standing as the leader in design, engi-neering and value. The premium for the Chrysler brand is in the product, not the price.

Volkswagen of America, Inc., is pleased to announce today that the 2015 Golf TDI® Clean Diesel, part of the family of vehicles that won the 2015 North American Car of the Year, has set a new GUINNESS

WORLD RECORDS® achievement for the “lowest fuel consumption—48 U.S. contiguous States for a non-hybrid car” with a remarkable 81.17 mpg. Traveling 8,233.5 miles around America in 16 days on $294.98 of Shell® Diesel fuel, the Golf beat the previous mark of 77.99 mpg by more than 3 mpg, and also beat the hybrid vehicle record of 74.34 mpg by more than 6 mpg.

“Covering 8,233.5 miles on just 101.43 gallons of Clean Diesel fuel is a remarkable accomplishment, and solid proof of the efficiency and fuel economy of Volkswagen’s TDI® Clean Diesel vehicles,” said Michael Horn, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. “Whether on a long road trip, or even in daily commuting, the great mileage and long range of our TDI models is a pure convenience factor that few other vehicles on sale can match. It’s a simple formula: Less Stop, More Go!”

The record-setting Golf TDI, sporting Volkswagen of America’s 60th anniversary emblem, as well as logos from sponsors Shell®, Goodyear®, LG®, Garmin® and Linear-Logic®, departed from Volkswagen of America’s headquarters in Herndon, Va., on Monday, June 22. It returned on Tuesday, July 7, having visited all 48 contiguous states.

Wayne Gerdes, automotive journalist and founder of cleanmpg.com, was the primary driver. His co-driver was Bob Winger, an electronics engineer

long involved in energy and conservation projects. Gerdes is an expert hypermiler who has set mileage records in more than 100 vehicles. In 2013, Gerdes set the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for “lowest fuel consumption—48 U.S. states for a non-hybrid car” in a 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI, with an outstanding 77.99 mpg.

“Volkswagen’s TDI Clean Diesel engines are just amazing,” said Wayne Gerdes. “I don’t think people realize the potential mileage you can get from them. In our experience, it is possible to get truly impressive mileage results by using just a few simple fuel-saving techniques.”

The 2015 Golf TDI uses Volkswagen’s advanced turbocharged and direct-injection Clean Diesel engine to achieve an EPA estimated highway fuel economy of 45 miles per gallon when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. The Golf TDI joins five other models in Volkswagen’s TDI lineup that achieve an EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 40 mpg or better on the highway.

Layrel FoxBest salesman to work with. John Milletics is by far the best salesman I’ve ever had the chance to do business with, I’ve talked with salesman in past at other Machens locations my trade in was way above expectation without me having to negotiate a better deal. I’d recommend John to anyone looking for a new car or anyone not looking for one. Lol. he goes above and beyond and has integrity that is clearly visible. Thanks for the great experience and all your hard work.
