Spent the afternoon car shopping with my Dad, Boo Boo's leather seats were appreciated by the elder passenger. The new Buicks are very nice, not at all like the Buicks of old, Dad likes the Buicks of old. Something tells me the '97 LeSabre with the whitewalls, wire wheel hub caps, and the padded vinyl top will continue to fill his driveway. I suppose one cool parent is better than two, Ma's string of Corvettes started with a used '62 and has continued up to her current 2004 unbroken.

 

I finally had a chance to drive my HHR SS today!

This is big for me, because it hasn't been out of the barn since January 2nd. We've had a mountain of snow up here in the northeast since the new year and it has been cooped up since then.

What a blast! Still can believe how much fun this "grocery getter" is to drive. Felt bad for one guy who looked me in the eye at a traffic light. He had a look of despair on his face and was driving a Toyota Sienna minivan.

 

I changed my oil, filter and engine air filter. I also changed the original cabin air filter and had no problem determining which filter was my new filter!

 

Chauffeured 2 of my HHR Buddies around to dinner and to the alternate backup BBQ site. Thanks for coming and spending the day with me guys

 

No problemo Dayton, I always enjoy coming up and hangin out!

 

Those old LeSabres are nice though!

 

Trying to find out why my HHr has a hard shift - This has been on and off for the past 12 months I took it to the dealership about 3 months ago and they said they needed the change the Trans fuild and filters and now its back again 144K and I can put up with it any more - I am going to take it to another dealership this week. Wish me luck.

Good luck I have noticed there is a different climate at different dealerships you have to find the one for you !

went out to wash the crap from the snowy roads and found my sprayer was blown out good excuse to go to Griots as any picked one that should last a while it has rubber shielding all over fire hose style with one thumb operation. I didn't believe it but it works good. only in America !

 

I bought the same one in yellow, for work. All the other styles always break from dropping them... hopefully that style lasts longer.

 

Drove back up from Charelston with Boo Boo, made a quick stop at the touch less car wash to get the salt spray off. I know its psychological more than anything, but every time we head to the seashore with one of the fleet I can't get them washed quickly enough, I swear I can hear them rusting.
