 | | | Tuxlee the Speed Perks Dog | | When you think of Speed Perks, we're sure a small, friendly dog doesn't initially come to mind, but our canine mascot Tuxlee is traveling across the country making a big impression on everyone who meets him. Tuxlee rides along on the Speed Perks RV tour, making stops at select Advance stores and events like Daytona Bike Week in Florida and the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, NC, where members can stop by and win free prizes.
The co-pilot of the Speed Perks RV tour may be a little Yorkipoo, but this black, curly-haired dog is one tough cookie. He hangs out with racecar drivers, sports a red Advance polo, and regularly gets his paws behind a steering wheel. From our experience, it's very hard to say no when he asks you to join Speed Perks—those dark beady eyes can really stare you down.

 | | | Featured Road Trip: Grand Canyon National Park | | There's nothing like a summer road trip. The warm sea breeze flying through your hair as you cruise down the coast. The fresh, piney smell and cool air as you trek up mountain roads. The glint of sunlight and vast expanses as you drive through desert highways. This is why you wake up early in the morning to beat the traffic.
Our featured road trip for this summer is making the trek up to Grand Canyon National Park. The beauty of this natural wonder needs to be appreciated up close, where the immense cliffs and ravines will leave you inspired. The surrounding amenities of campgrounds, hotels, general stores, and restaurants gives you plenty of creature comforts so you're not totally lost in the wild.

There are plenty of roads that will take you there, but our favorite route is starting from Phoenix, AZ. This three and a half-hour trip has shifting landscapes and breathtaking views throughout, even before you get to the canyon. As you drive out of the city, you find yourself in the desert, surrounded by tall cacti as far as the eye can see. You climb elevation and next you're cruising by the red cliffs and hills of Sedona, where the desert meets ponderosa pine trees. Further you climb to Flagstaff, where you're in the thick of alpine forest and near the base of Humphrey's Peak, the highest mountain in Arizona at over 12,000 ft. Drive through more forests and then a stretch of plateau grasslands before a final climb in elevation, where the Grand Canyon awaits you.
This road trip is an American classic that we hope you and your family will get to experience. If you've made this trip or are driving there this summer, please share a photo and your story on Facebook. We'd love to hear about the vehicle that got you there and the fun detours you took along the way!

Summer Tip: If your A/C is blowing warm air and the A/C condenser is working properly, then your problem is most likely low refrigerant. Make a stop at Advance for canned refrigerant with a gauge and hose—ask for one with leak-sealers if you suspect a leak. You can quickly recharge your A/C and get cold air back instantly, making your road trip comfortable again. Get full A/C recharge details. | |
