Installed HHR SS struts and shocks (had the springs installed already....courtesy of a forum member) today. Took about 3.5 hours, including a stop for a light up of a Dominican. Not a tough job with an impact and the right tools. Will get a wheel alignment after the struts and shocks settle....maybe about 500 miles (old school).
Only drove about 20 miles, but seems to handle better. Not as much as I like, BUT BETTER.

"All the 'fun' possibilities in your garage and you still rent a Camry?"
Well I was given the Camry because the HHR I had reserved was wrecked, and yes I do have some really fun cars to choose from Marshall, but when we're talking about an 1,800+ mile grind on the interstates....I'll spend the money on a rental that can absorb the "non fun" miles, rock chips, and possible damage from parking lot idiots etc.
I know from past experience that if something would happen to one of the "babies" out on the interstate, I'd be one unhappy camper.

I'll mention it to her tomorrow (the 14th) and see what the reaction is.

Ordered a few suspension goodies for the Red Hearse: Powergrid adjustable endlinks and a Hardcore swaybar from that "other" place (my TTR swar bar is already going to a great new home!). Also ordered an HP Tuners setup as well. Getting tuned was great, now having the ability to log runs and have my tuner upgrade my tune as needed will be even better!

Well, still thinking about it. We get back from Hawaii on Oct. 16. and not sure if the wife would be up to it. But even MAY just come myself......although she has relatives all over the San Clemente area....which would make it tough to do alone.
I'll mention it to her tomorrow (the 14th) and see what the reaction is.
