If the imported goods were shut down, how long could the civilian life go on?

Very sad situation, our armed forces would have to try TEMU or other online service, lol

Today I’m going for coffee with a friend in Port Colborne, Ontario

A ride in the country to pick up eggs, then home for lunch this afternoon, I get my PICC line cleaned and the dressing changed. The difference in firmness of the steering and no brake shake is very noticeable with the Mevotech TTX hubs. I reached out to there head office to confirm wether or not they are roller or ball bearings.

Need to do some research on these bearings. Wonder what's available for SS. Also, a few have used non-standard bearings to mount non-5-110 wheels.

Bought factory cross bars off ebay for both HHRs, and put the roof rack on the 07, giving it a 'rally' look.

My 08 now has literally every option available in 08, except for the rubber tread for the rear bumper that matches the tread on the running boards

Mongo- what material are the '08 seats covered with ? And that rear bumper cover, I got mine from aftermarket long ago.. Not sure it was a factory upgrade ?


Drove my '08 Panel 2LT downtown to Red Lobster with my lil woman for a nice meal. Very enjoyable.
