A group of Briggs Jamboree participants pose next to their Jeep, which they decorated in honor of the event's cause, breast cancer awareness.
Drivers on Highway 77 the morning of Sunday, Oct. 18, were met with an impressive convoy of off-road vehicles headed for the Randolph, Kan., off-road vehicle area.
Nearly 70 off-road vehicles participated in the 19th annual Briggs Jamboree for breast cancer awareness. Together, we raised more than $3,700 for breast cancer research at the Terry C. Johnson Cancer Research Center at Kansas State University.
The day began with registration and breakfast from Wamego’s Friendship House bakery, followed by opening ceremonies. Breast cancer survivor Kim Johnson, wife of Briggs CFO Boyd Johnson, gave remarks on the importance of research to battle this devastating disease. Briggs sales professional Rick Ebert emceed the day’s events.

Briggs Auto owner Russ Briggs shows off his Jeep after getting partially stuck in a big mud hole during the 19th annual Briggs Jamboree event on Oct. 18.
Some participants chose the road rally, which gave drivers clues to guide them through a scenic drive through the changing fall colors of the Flint Hills. Other drivers broke into groups of varying skill levels on guided off-road trails in the Randolph ORV area. Due to recent rains, muddy terrain and deep puddles presented additional obstacles for off-roaders to enjoy.

The 2010 Dodge Avenger with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) has been named a 2009 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
When it comes to safety and security, the 2010 Dodge Avenger employs a two-fold approach: passive features, including pre-tensioning seat belt retractors and supplemental side-curtain air bags, are combined with accident-avoidance features, including responsive steering, braking, handling and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
“A vehicle that earns the Top Safety Pick designation provides the best overall protection in the three most common kinds of crashes,” said Adrian Lund, President – Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. “Top-level crash-test performance plus electronic stability control to help keep drivers out of crashes are the tough criteria needed to earn this award.” Read more »

Despite the effects of the Great Recession on personal-use truck sales, there is still demand for pickups ready to do hard work. The heavy-duty truck market has gotten smaller, but the guys who buy those pickups are fiercely loyal to the segment-they need the extreme capability these hard-working haulers provide. Some may wonder why anyone would own a truck that can tow nearly 20,000 pounds, but for a lot of people in construction, those who transport vehicles or goods, and those with ranches, this is just a part of everyday life.

In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the world is rushing to help survivors. In the tradition of caring for our community, BriggsAuto.com is pleased to announce that our stores will serve as collection centers for supplies to help the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the quake.
Supplies will benefit the Double Harvest, a non-profit organization established in 1981 outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Double Harvest has a medical center, schooling, water wells, on-site farming and other skill training for the Haitian people. The Manhattan Surgical Team frequently travels to Haiti and carries out medical-surgical missions. Double Harvest operating rooms have changed the lives of many hundreds of Haitian people.
Double Harvest receives support from local hospitals such as Mercy Regional Health Center and Manhattan Surgical Hospital, pharmaceutical companies and businesses. Double Harvest fortunately escaped most damage from the earthquake but they have been depleted of their medical supplies. To learn more about Double Harvest or to make a monetary donation visit: www.doubleharvest.org
Drop off your supplies before Feb. 20. Supplies will be shipped to Haiti at the end of February when ports and airtraffic are expected to resume.

The recent news of recalls in the auto industry brings automotive safety to the forefront of our minds. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 42,000 deaths occur each year in automobile accidents. In fact, the NTHSA cites traffic crashes as the primary cause of debilitating injuries in the United States and the No. 1 killer of Americans under age 34.
In addition to staggering emotional costs, the annual economic loss to society because of these crashes, in terms of worker productivity, medical costs, insurance costs, etc., is estimated at more than $150 billion. Clearly, there is a need for dramatic improvement in motor vehicle safety. Getting unsafe vehicles off the road is integral to improving safety and saving lives.
The NHTSA issues vehicle safety standards and requires manufacturers to recall vehicles that have safety-related defects or do not meet Federal safety standards. Since 1966, more than 390 million cars, trucks, buses, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and mopeds, as well as 46 million tires, 66 million pieces of motor vehicle equipment, and 42 million child safety seats have been recalled to correct safety defects.
Manufacturers voluntarily initiate many of these recalls, while others are either influenced by NHTSA investigations or ordered by NHTSA via the courts. If a safety defect is discovered, the manufacturer must notify NHTSA, as well as vehicle or equipment owners, dealers, and distributors. The manufacturer is then required to remedy the problem at no charge to the owner.
To find out whether your automobile is subject to current recalls, Search for Recalls at the NHTSA website.
From NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation

It’s been a rough winter for much of northeast Kansas. Cold temperatures and moisture accumulation have taken their toll on our roads, leaving behind pesky potholes. They’re not just a jarring nuisance, but also a danger for motorists and a hazard to our vehicles.
The formation of potholes is exacerbated by low temperatures, as water expands when it freezes to form ice, and puts greater stress on an already cracked pavement or road.
Potholes can damage vehicle suspension components and result in costly repairs. Here are some tips to keep in mind: Read more »

Thanks to everyone who donated supplies for Haiti in January and February! Briggs Auto teamed up with community businesses to help collect supplies for Haiti after it was struck with a devastating earthquake.

Double Harvest is a non-profit organization established in 1981. The organizatino has a medical center, schooling, water wells, on-site farming and other skill training for the Haitian people. The Manhattan Surgical Team frequently travels to Haiti and carries out medical-surgical missions.
Double Harvest operating rooms have changed the lives of many hundreds of Haitian people.

When it comes to customer loyalty, Sandy Popovich is one of a kind.
Over the past two decades, Popovich has purchased 38 – or is it 39? There are so many he’s nearly lost track — vehicles from DE Lacer of DEL Motors.
Popovich first purchased from DEL Motors 19 years ago. He’s purchased vehicles from his wife, two daughters and son.
“When I want a new vehicle I go get one, that’s where I get it at. I’ve bought trucks, cars, even a motorhome from DE.”
His most recent purchase? A 1997 BMW Z3 convertible, just in time for warm weather, though Popovich contends it’s perfect for any time of year.
Popovich says his uncommon loyalty is the direct result of Lacer’s customer service.
“When I first started vehicles buying from DE, I kept coming back because he stood behind the vehicle,” Popovich says. “There are a couple that I bought that just fell apart within a matter of a couple weeks and DE took them back.”
“I can’t explain it, it’s just … he’s the man,” he continues.
That level of customer service made DEL Motors a perfect match for Briggs Auto Group, joining the automotive family in January 2009.

Few people have had the opportunity to see an Olympic gold medal in person, let alone meet a gold medalist Olympic athlete, but hundreds of Junction City community members and students had just this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on Tuesday, May 25.
Olympic gold medalist Curtis Tomasevicz of the 2010 USA bobsled team, has been touring Junction City schools and businesses this week sharing his experience and victory at the Vancouver Olympics. A former walk-on to the football program at the University of Nebraska, Tomasevicz helped the USA win its first bobsledding gold medal since 1948.
A native of Shelby, Neb., Tomasevicz has competed in bobsledding since 2004 and finished sixth in the four-man event at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
During his visit, Tomasevicz stopped by DEL Motors, one of the proud community sponsors helping support his tour of Junction City.
