"Anyone can otter discounted rates, but outstanding service is the key to our success." The company must be doing it right because in an industry that is extremely competitive, Grey Power retains an overwhelming number ot clients (much higher than the Industry average). What's different about Grey Power Insurance? Like others: it offers auto, home, oul-of-province travel/medical as well as a health/dental plan; but because the company focuses on the SO Plus market, it has a unique understanding of this age group, their specific needs and con­ cerns. For many clients, this translates into significant savings. For example, a 50 plus client with a good driving record can enjoy substantial discounts based on age. and get good, quality service that is not discounted! As a mortgage tree client, you can also receive further discounts on your property insurance with Grey Power Insurance. "It's more than an insurance policy." says Griffiths.

It is also recognition by Cadillac of a changing luxury JIM ROBINSON Road Worthy buyer penchant for premium-fit­ ted trucks with a burly off-road persona. I could say that men buy these trucks as a kind of reflection of who they think they are. But the fact is a large num­ ber of women are also ascending the dollar ladder for SUVs like the Escalade and the GMC Yukon Denali. Women like SUVs because they sit high and proud above the normal eye level in traffic. SUVs are immensely stout in architecture thus safer in a crash, and despite their vast size, modem engineer­ ing makes them as easy to drive as a large premium luxury car. Perhaps only former Ford of Canada president Jim O'Connor saw this mega-size SUV seg­ ment coming. After leaving Canada he was put in charge of the limpid Lincoln-Mercury With traditional crest and wreath badging, Cadillac has put its own particular stamp on the surging SUV market Division and came up with the Forrestal-class Lincoln Navigator, a SUV most industry observers (except yours truly by the way) thought was just too big to survive. Well, buyers began standing in line for Navigators, Big Jim got promoted (again) to president of the Ford Motor Company and, among other things, Cadillac and other luxury vehicle makers took notice. Cadillac had to react quickly and did so by borrowing a great deal from the Yukon Denali complete with most of the drive- train and added a number of Cadillac signature touches like the badge and wreath logo in centre of the grille and six-spoke chrome wheels. There are a few things that, in its haste, Cadillac had to overlook (exposed screws inside the door pulls and seat heat controls awkwardly placed by the seat runners and out of sight) in order to get this SUV to market. What the Escalade does offer is a new state-of-the-art four- wheel drive technology called AutoTrac. On the dash are but­ tons for the traditional 4Lo, 4Hi and 2hi drive modes one expects in a current SUV. But there is also one for automatic 4WD. This marvel allows for sensors to detect wheel slippage and switch back and forth between drive (See 'Escalade' page C3) 1999 GMC YUKON 1999 GMC SUBURBAN 1999 GMC DENALI 1999 GMC JIM M Y 1999 GMC SIERRA 1 9 9 9 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB KERR CADILLAC PONTIAC BUICK GMC HAS PRICED THE ENTIRE INVENTORY TO MOVE N O W !!!

Take care of your tires Tires take a beating all year long. During the winter months, they are subjected to snow, ice, freez­ ing temperatures, salt and gravel. Spring and sum­ mer bring on high­ er temperatures and an increase in ultraviolet rays, which can crack and dull a tire's fin­ ish. If left untreated, not only do tires look worn and old, but they wear faster than neces­ sary, causing a potential safety problem. Spring is the perfect time to take a look at tires in order to restore their appearance after a harsh winter and protect them for the upcoming summer. Selecting the proper tire care product is an important part of year-round tire m a i n t e n a n c e . While proper infla­ tion pressure and regular rotation of tires are important steps consumers can take in pro­ longing tire life and increasing safety, these precautions primarily protect the tire tread. The tread, however, is not the only part of the tire sustaining wear. Sidewalls are also prone to wear and tear from poor road conditions, weather, potholes and other factors. It is important for consumers to use products which are formulated for robber, not vinyl, on their tires. Vinyl protectants can cause long-term damage to tires, including drying and cracking of the sidewall and a browning effect on the finish. Tires are a seri­ ous investment and deserve serious care. Proper care can help preserve that investment and give con­ sumers the maxi­ mum wear and safety from their tires.
