How Did One Student Get a Free Car? Good Grades

Jun 9, 2015

Our participation in area civic events and generous support of numerous charities defines the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Columbia mission. We especially place an emphasis on promoting the importance of education for our young customers. A recent contest embodies the strong CDJR Columbia commitment to education.

Columbia Central Graduate Wins a New Car

Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Columbia recently ran a contest for area high school students that automatically entered students into a contest if the students met one of two criteria. Any student that received all As and Bs over a nine-week grading people had their names placed for drawing in the contest. The other way students automatically entered the contest involved earning a perfect attendance record over the same nine-week grading period. A record number of students qualified to enter the latest Strive to Drive contest, with Columbia Central graduate Zach Taylor winning a new 2015 Dodge Dart from our Nashville area dealership. Zach won the grand prize, but dozens of students took home hundreds of dollar of gift card prizes that day.

Why Zack Should Be Proud of His 2015 Dodge Dart

Zack did not win an ordinary car. He won the 2015 Dodge Dart, considered one of the top compact cars on the market. Despite its diminutive size, the 2015 Dart possesses a spacious cabin that allows four adults to ride in supreme comfort. An easy to access electronics interface offers Zack the latest in advanced navigation and communication technology. Zack can enjoy streaming music on his way to and from Tennessee Tech. A potent 2.4-liter engine generates 184 horsepower and 171 pounds-feet of torque. Both numbers indicate segment leading performance. Zack owns a compact car that abides to Zero Emissions Vehicle standard, which has emerged as the environmentally friendly protocol adopted by the state of California. Edmunds road tests clocked the acceleration rate of the 2015 Dodge Dart from idle to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds. Dodge integrates award winning safety features within the 2015 Dart, including antilock disc brakes, side curtain airbags, and rearview camera.

How Do I Get a Free Car?

As a pillar of the Nashville community, we are proud to reward high school students like Zack Taylor with the high performance Dart. Our dedication to promoting academics reverberates throughout the greater Nashville, TN metropolitan area. As the contest receives more exposure, we expect more students to qualify in 2016 for the chance to drive away from our lot in a new vehicle by paving the way with good grades and perfect attendance.
