Yesterday, I drove to Smithville for a coffee with the_shmoo, had an in-depth discussion about all things HHR , then today I loaded up the Cobalt SS rims and tires into the BlackSwan, took Sweetie for a drive over to Sanborn NY, delivered the rims to fastsuv’s house. Then we headed to Wilson to the marina for lunch, they were closed so we drove to Lewisburg for lunch at the Brick house, very tasty food , great service! I stopped and picked up a seal install tool from EBay and when we arrived home a container of permatex sealant arrived from Amazon, the fixing starts tomorrow or Friday.

I would like to have clear glass again lol\
And NOVAS was less then 250$ US not a bad price, Now whilre there I ll get a est , for my truck windshield as well. They sand the roads up here with a lot of rocks lol
When my Panel needed a windshield (2009) I opted for the fogged tint on top. Happy with that one from PPG

driving home tonight (this morning?) something went ker-lunk and when got home and psh down on the drivers door (open) it makes a pretty good clunk, like a spring or maybe a sway bar?? have to check it out when it gets light out. I blame the speed bumps at work!! probably driving the land rover tomorrow....

I was thinking about the tint but that may be a issue for me. At 6ft 3" I have to duck down to look at the stop light ,
I do try and stay a little farther back so I can see the light better

Looked in the daylight and couldn't find the source of the noise as I couldn't rock the car and look at the same time. Once I got my 'assistant' he tracked it to the sway bar link (that he replaced) so hopefully tomorrow we can tighten it up. Working tons of overtime and fighting never ending rain so I can only do so much... Overtime has been roughly 50-75 hrs per week. I think it is time to retire...

Yes the are, but that style made my wife’s stomach flip when she looked at it while driving, she used to cover it with a hat while I was driving, so I got the light in sight.
I put the in Oldblue right in that spot in your photo.
