Well my "did" wasn't on the HHR but on the wife's Hyundai. I got tired of trying to polish up the headlights, so she ask and got a new set from Santa.
Of course George got the task of installing them.
Actually. It only took 15 minutes to swap them out but another hour to get them adjusted and aimed. Seems that some Chinese worker decided to ship them out with the adjusters bottomed out which had the lights pointing up in the sky !
Oh well. As long as the wife is happy.

Drove the '06 to the airport, loaded the shiny thing with wings, and waited our turn for ATC to make a hole in the backed up Commercial traffic so we could take off for Canada and the funeral of Michelle's Grandmother.

Our scheduled take off time slipped four hours, but with the devastating weather that has gutted the Central and Southern States since December the 23rd. We didn't mind waiting as flights delayed up to 48 hours finally got off the ground.

When whole families have been living in the airport for days just trying to get home, it would be the height of selfishness to begrudge them the chance to cut in line.

Charlotte-Douglas International Airport is a great facility, and it's a pleasure being based there, but I wouldn't want to sleep on the concourse floor for two or three days.

Mike condolences to Michelle. My HHR turned 55,555 yesterday, I wasn't in a position I could get a photo. Today a quick trip to the store then home for the rest of the day. We will pop a bottle of Champaign this afternoon to celebrate our 34th Anniversary. It is hard to believe that it has been that long.

Happy Anniversary you two!

Make sure you take her somwhere nice for dinner Ron, my wife has a formula, for every locomotive or "6464" series rarity that comes through the door, the cost of our Anniversary Dinner goes up by a fixed percentage known only to her.

The Tiffany & Co. Diamond jewelry got me out of the doghouse after a TCA Graded "Condition 10" 700E Hudson followed me home.

But, that was a once in a lifetime find, and sometimes, ya just gotta do it!

A valid point Kev, but you've never had to explain spending "really nice used car money on a Lionel train" to a stunningly pretty, but volatile French woman.

She gets that from her late Grandmother, such a sweet lady whom we're all missing terribly, but if you "peed on her cupcakes" as the saying goes in Kannapolis...running very fast in the opposite direction meant the difference between being in the doghouse, or dead.

Millicent is going out in style, the funeral home has a Rolls-Royce Phantom V hearse with a body by Park-Ward.

My Father In-law's Canadian Market '05 Chevy Optra is in need of a new timing belt, so we'll tackle that on Sunday.

The Optra was sold as the Aveo in the U.S., and also as a Daewoo Lacetti in Europe and Asia,

If you watched Top Gear back before 2010, they used the Chevrolet Lacetti badged version as the "Reasonably Priced Car" for celebs to flog around their track.
