Beautiful mountains up there. I especially like the view from top of Fancy Gap. You can see Mayberry (Mt Airy N.C.) and Mt Pilot (Pilot Mt)

 

I soldered the battery hold down bracket on the SS's key fob and put 2 sided carpet tape on the new rubber inserts for the inside door armrest pockets...john

 

Put some new shoes on the panel. I went with the same tire I put on the SS. Found this morning that Comsumer reports agree's with me.....number 1# rated all season tire.

The group with No Name got out again yesterday it was a blast......

 

Yeah, it's not exactly the color i wanted, but i definitely like how it turned out. That's what happens when you do it yourself I guess. I'll be changing it again in a few weeks though, never leave it the same color too long

Not really, this is actually the bumper from my other HHR. I needed room for the heat exchanger for the supercharger, so I removed the black plastic insert and trimmed the edge of the opening a bit. The grille was actually the first mod i did to an HHR over 5 years ago, check the first couple pics from my gallery. The visor is a regular aluminum clip on one, no bolts, but i did pop some 3" holes in it.

 

We had some bad wind storm in Socal this week for 3 days blew down my rain guter blocking my garage door so had to tie it up with a rope so I could get my HHR out, many tiles blew off, a lot of folks had major damage from very large trees, good thing I have insurance should grt a check next week. You have to pay to have the lovely sunshine we have all year.

 

After a several week search, I finally found a suitable commuter - a 2006 LT that I bought last week. So far, I have thoroughly detailed, checked all maintenance items and in the process of painting the front and rear Bowties black.

I'm still on the first tank of fuel - the DIC indicates I am on track for a range of 487 miles. Pretty happy about that!

Today, I took my Basset Hound puppy for a drive through the river-bottoms near my house and then a walk in the foothills. The door-sills are a bit higher than my Avalanche and Equinox, but she really seemed to enjoy hanging her head out of the window despite having to stretch her neck upward to do so. I think the HHR is now my Hound Hauling Rig.

 

Walked out to find CHUNKS of paint missing from my grille... so, yanked it and Currently in the process of repainting it. Also painting my rear bowtie and the plastic bit on the front bumper.

 

yesterday on sunday i drive 320 km on the german Autobahn !!!!!! for a short time i had SPEED LIMIT 257 km/h
