Featured for October 2010 | Greybeard999

Name: James "Greybeard" Wiesner

Location: Central Ohio

Car Info: 2007 HHR 2LT, Auto 2.4L, 24,900 miles .....

Stock Options: Chrome trim package, Pioneer 7 speaker factory sound system w/ steering wheel controls, Gray cloth seating with power drivers seat adjustment, sunroof, roof rack, factory running boards, factory fog lights .....

Modifications:

Interior: Gray Leather front seat covers, (back seats are always folded down) Full length dark gray rear carpet (custom cut), Cargo bar with net(custom fit), MoonEyes skull door lock knobs, Obligatory "rat rod" Mexican blanket and skull "visor hanger" with various other "mojo" talismans throughout, Fire extinguisher in rear seat cup holder ......

Exterior: Completely de-badged, Moon Equipped @@ front fender decals, Purple pearl painted bowties, Lower "gutter guard" grill in purple, Purple calipers and rear drums ......

Wheels/Tires: Chrome Euromax 612's 16"X7", with Dunlop Direzza 225/50R16 (will be using 225/55's or larger ASAP)

Suspension: FE3 shocks and struts (stock), Progressive rear sway bar (purple), Ground Force rear leveling springs....

Future plans: Homebrew intake and Trifecta Tune, Traction control on/off switch, "Guide" traffic light viewer, Old S'cool pinstriping, Under hood detailing and paint work, "blackened" headlight mod (not tinted).....

Other info: Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic oil and Sunoco premium fuel helps to achieve 30 mpg average with normal "spirited" driving. She's a daily driver so has her share of bumps, bruises, and a few scratches too, but runs like a champ, is very comfortable to drive, and handles like a slot car...... Nicest car I have ever owned overall and I think she's a keeper.

















Note: I hope the "driveway" photos don't disqualify me.... they are all I have.

I thought they were photos of a gravel road leading into a wooded area just past the covered bridge.
