Took a drive out to the desert for a little research before a camping trip next weekend. Stumbled on a dam along the way and thought it time for a photo, albeit a dusty one. Total trip, about 250 miles, but only averaging 26 mph. CEL finally popped on permanently, it's been intermittent for the last two months a few hours on and off for afew days, prompting a change of both solenoids, showing p0013 and p0014. Hopefully parts come in before Friday when I'moff tothe desert again.

Papa Jo the wheels are from Wheel Vintique's.
Think i got them from Summit Racing website.
They are Chrome Rally's with smoothie cap.
Link below is W.V 's website though.

Had my windshield replaced because I was told moisture was coming through the original seal and that it would eventually kill the stereo and eventually the AC/climate control. This all started 6 mos ago when the stereo would just be on one tweeter in the morning, dew on the car or rain. But by noon in the sun the stereo was back to normal. I'm an honest guy, I had no chips in the windshield to use my insurance to replace so I just sucked it up and paid OOP. Stereo sucks even worse now, but I like the new clear windshield. Is this stereo problem the same as other are experiencing only mine will come back to life now and then?

I think you got some bad advice. When speakers quit working, or become intermittent, in an HHR, the problem is usually the speakers. Moisture gets inside the door cavity. When it warms up, the speakers may start working again. Very well documented here.

Installed PowerStop front rotors. The last ones warped due to incorrect rear adjustment. Have appointment to adjust. As a side note, I don't due drum brakes.
