Drove the Wife's to Willis, Va. for a ceremony honoring my Great Grandfather as a Confederate Civil War veteran. A Confederate Iron Cross was placed at the foot of his grave with a full Honor Guard. Present were the last two of his grandchildren, my 95 year old mother and her 93 year old sister. It was a good day.

New to the HHR!
My 2008 Panel LS was previously one of a fleet of cars for a building maintenance and cleaning company.
I started cleaning it out and cleaning it up. Today I spent a couple hours working on removing vestiges of the entire vehicle wrap it once had... acetone, razor blades and sore fingers.
Last week I sprayed the back portion of the interior out at the car wash. Then I brought it home and used the shop vac to pick up all the water, and wiped most everything down... The carpet and the front seats are still horrendous. Could this have been the first time this car has ever been cleaned?! ...and the seats might be a lost cause for trying to clean.
It had two wheel covers left on it when I got it, but those two are all busted up.
I think I came up with what like on it for hub caps, but I only had three. Maybe I'll come across another one at the junk yard sometime.
Here's a couple pics after today's efforts:
