Weirds A/C thing.

Driving my HHR, had A/C on & it got cold, so I figured I'd just shut it off for a while. That was fine, after the sun came out again, I turned the A/C back on & frosty air started coming out my A/C ducts, like the freezer in the fridge at home.
Just for like 30 seconds, smelled cold & good, but never had that happen ever before.

Thanks RJ,

today , I polished the headlights with a professional 3M kit , Dan had purchased this to do a sideline business, but he never opened the kit, so I got busy, took about a half hour per side, they’ll do for winter , then I’ll replace them with a set of Fall Edition or maybe Depo headlights

Going down the list

Did the front brakes and rotors, put some full synthetic Valvoline high mileage dexos 5w30 in her, checked out the flex pipe( looks good) but did find a small leak in the seal on outside of trans ( CV joint?). I am going to pull the rears off tomorrow and check things out.
