Take a Road Trip on Route 20
With the nice weather looming, everyone has a bit of Spring Fever. If you’re itching to get out of the house for a day or two, there’s no need to get out of Upstate New York to do so! Route 20 stretches from the New York – Massachusetts border to the town of Ripley just outside of Pennsylvania and there are tons of attractions to see all along it.
- Albany, NY – The first, and most well-known stop, the Capital of New York, Albany, is filled with Museums, theaters, and places to eat. There’s enough to do in this one city that you could stick around for the whole weekend and not see it all!
- Sharon Springs, NY– Stop here to get an idea of what a modern day renaissance looks like. It seems like every month there is a new restaurant or cidery to try. This town is also known for its vibrant festivals and decadent spa.
- The TePee– This is the perfect pit stop on your trip. Snack on classic road food at The Chuckwagon while taking in views of the Mohawk River valley that only Route 20 can offer.
- Glimmerglass- Take some time to stretch your legs at Glimmerglass State Park. There are plenty of trails to explore and a pristine beach that is the perfect setting for a nice afternoon nap.

How to Drive Safely in Heavy Rain
It doesn’t matter if you been driving for 30 years or 30 minutes, you will experience extreme and unexpected weather while behind the wheel. This means that your visibility will be lower, the friction between your wheels and the road will be lessened and it will cause travel delays. 22% or 1.3 billion motor vehicle accidents are related to poor weather conditions. That doesn’t mean you’re stuck in the house with the slightest bit of precipitation, it just means you need to know how to drive in it.
Living in the Northeast, as we do, our biggest concerns are ice and snow. And while they are not a concern at this point in the year, don’t forget about the sudden downpours accompanied with lightning, thunder and even hail. So, do you know how to properly prepare for and drive in a freak thunderstorm?
There are three tried and true ways to ensure your safety while on the road with heavy rain. First, no matter how convenient, avoid using cruise control. The traction between your tires and the road is limited when they’re wet due to rising oil and grease. When your tire’s treads can’t reach the ground through the water your vehicle will begin hydroplaning. If this should ever happen lower your speed, but do not slam on the brakes, grasp the steering wheel and steer in the direction of the skid.
Second, and what might be most obvious, is to leave room between you and the other vehicles in front of you. Usually, a distance of three car lengths is acceptable. This allows you to have time to react to any sudden stops as well as slow your vehicle down at a safe rate.
Lastly, before you leave your home on a humid day when thunderstorms are possible, take note of the low roads where you’ll be traveling. See if there is an alternate route to take that won’t delay you too much. Low roads will increase the amount of pooling water and make it harder for your tire tread to reach the road, resulting in hydroplaning.
Of course, if you have any questions about your cruise control, type of brakes, or best driving practices, stop into Destination Nissan. We will be happy to show you how to drive safely in any situation.

For the third year in a row, Nissan North America, Inc., has been included on the annual Top 25 Noteworthy Companies list released by DiversityInc Magazine. The Nissan’s brand’s employee resource group growth is what has played a large role in gaining ongoing recognition from DiversityInc.
One of the most successful tactics used by Nissan is their affinity groups. Through this program, Nissan allows employees with shared interests/identities from different parts of the company to work together and create programs that are designed to encourage inclusion in the workplace. Additionally, each year the Nissan Foundation donates 100 percent of their proceeds to provide funding to programs that provide appreciation and education for cultural diversity.
“With the most diverse consumer base of any automotive manufacturer, we understand the importance of authentic engagement with our employees and the communities where we live and work,” said Rebecca Vest, vice president of Corporate Development and Social Responsibility at Nissan. “Members of our 25 employee resource groups work to raise cultural awareness within the company and serve as ambassadors within the community to educate others about the value of diversity.”
DiversityInc selects the companies to be included on this list each year by evaluating all the eligible companies and looking for their year-to-year progress and strength in four key areas. These areas include equitable talent development, CEO/senior leadership development, supplier diversity, and talent pipeline.

The 2016 Nissan Rogue Takes On the Unexpected
As residents of Albany, Schenectady, Latham, Saratoga, and Clifton Park, NY, we know the weather is constantly changing. Furthermore, we know how important it is to have a vehicle that can face any unexpected weather condition that Upstate New York throws at you.
The 2016 Nissan Rogue is up for the challenge, as shown in their new commercial, “Rocky Road.” In this spot, we see a man driving his Rogue through a winding mountainside road on a dark, stormy evening. The rain has loosened the dirt and rocks on the side of the mountain, and they present a menacing obstacle. However, thanks to the Intuitive All-Wheel Drive System available for the Rogue, the driver is able to successfully navigate the challenging conditions.
Stop by Destination Nissan to test drive the Intuitive AWD System in the 2016 Nissan Rogue and learn about more safety features that can help you prepare for the unexpected.

Nissan GT-R Breaks Guinness World Record
The Fastest Drift Ever title now belongs to Nissan after Japanese drift champion, Masato Kawabata broke the record in a MY16 Nissan GT-R at a speed of 304.96 km/hr and a 30-degree angle. The MY16 Nissan GT-R was specially tuned by GReddy Trust technicians for three days leading up to the event, in which Kawabata only had three attempts to break the record. It was tuned to 1380 horsepower and adapted to rear-wheel drive. In order to perform this challenge, the GT-R had to be set up for agility, handling, and stability.
“Once again, Nissan has broken a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title and has made international history for the fifth time in the Middle East,” said Samir Cherfan, Managing Director of Nissan Middle East. “The Nissan GT-R is one of the world’s most iconic supercars, proving time and again the incredible breadth of its capabilities, and has clearly demonstrated its performance leadership by beating the best drift cars out there. The fact that this achievement was set here in the UAE makes it even more special for our region. Setting this incredibly difficult world record was a clear demonstration of the excitement we are bringing to the Middle East with the Nismo brand.”
