Picked up the HHR from Dave Gill, they replaced the upper and lower control arm bushings on both sides, replaced the steering wheel column, and intermediate steering shaft, and replaced the front airbag sensors all under warranty!! (because somebody ripped them out). She drives beautiful now! No knock/clunk anymore and the one finger steering is back! Washed her and went home to smoke out the tail lenses[/SIZE]

 

We finally had a nice 70 degree day yesterday. I didn't do much with the bus, but I did take my other toy out for a spin.

 

I changed the cabin filter, engine oil and reset the monitor. Discovered I need new trans mounts so I ordered some.

 

Rinsed off the pollen, again!

Sweet lookin' Porsche slinger.

 

Painted my muffler black with good old flat black high heat paint. Looks lots better.

 

I just learned that if you hold the up and down arrows on the steering wheel controls you can select genres and playlists on your iPod!!!

 

Umm..unless there was a design change, I dont believe there is a upper control arm on these cars..just a strut..is that what they told you?

 

Washed my HHR yesterday,(rained that night) Went to the dealer to change my snow tires to summer tires , program a key FOB (8$)
Had Mobile 1 Full synthetic in 7+$ a qt. About the same I I get it at Auto zone, oil filter 106$ US,, I had to look at the bill to see if that was right and WOW it was.. I couldn't believe the dealer sold me Mobile at part store prices, and 8$ to program the new key,, The avg price up here to swap tires is 15 to 20$ each,, I was surprised and Happy with the bill from my dealer. I had a 8:30 am apt. got there 8:20 out 9:25.. I was expecting to spend 175 $ + but didn't :) so on the way home I bought a new printer :)

 

Hosed the pollen of the HHR twice today.

 

You too huh?

Bleeping trees anyway.
