Looking to spend some time with your special someone without leaving the comfort of your car? You can treat yourself and your sweetheart to a fun car date, which is also a budget-friendly option for those who want to save a little money. 

Catch a Flick at the Drive-In 

Many cities and towns across the U.S. have drive-in movie theaters for those who prefer their own vehicles to a sticky movie theater seat. If you haven’t been to one recently, here’s how it works: You drive your car into a parking space in front of a massive screen and tune your car radio to the designated station. 

Some theaters sell concessions, while others require patrons to bring their own. If it’s a BYO situation, stock up on buttered popcorn, boxed candy, and your favorite soft drinks in advance for a more authentic movie-going experience. Then, lean your seats back and enjoy the show. Many drive-ins offer double features, so you can watch up to two new releases from the comfort of your Chevy truck, car or SUV. 

Order a Fast-Food Feast 

Indulge in some of your favorite menu items from a local fast-food joint and sample them in your car for a date that fulfills all your cravings. Salty fries always pair nicely with a cold milkshake or soft drink, so order both and enjoy. No matter what you’re in the mood for, you can find a place with a drive-thru that serves it. 

Head Out and Explore 

Your car was made for exploration, so head out on the open road and check out your surroundings. If you live in a big city, head to the nearest nature preserve or outdoor green space to soak up the natural beauty. If you live in a more rural area, take a quick road trip to a nearby city and check out some of the architecture and interesting attractions. 

You may have to get out of the car briefly to visit indoor attractions, or you can stick to exploration from the driver’s seat. No matter which option you choose, you’re sure to spot some interesting sights. 

Enjoy the Great Outdoors 

If you and your date are into nature, try a camp-out date in your vehicle. You can drive to a campground with a tent in tow, or you can put down the seats in a Chevy Equinox and camp in the back. A Chevy truck is also great for camping, as the flatbed is the perfect place to put a couple of air mattresses and your sleeping bags. Lay back and look at the stars as you connect with nature and reconnect with one another by talking into the evening. 

Instead of heading out for the traditional dinner and a movie, enjoy some quality time together while staying in the car on one of these fun car dates. You can stay comfortable in your car while chatting with your date and enjoying one another’s company. And if your current ride doesn’t offer the comfort or convenience features you need for a relaxing date, visit Jim Turner Chevrolet to shop the latest selection of new Chevy cars for sale in McGregor, TX.
