Thanks!

I'm looking for a set of smaller chrome lugs. I haven't checked amazon yet and I can't seem to find a part number for the correct thread lug nuts that will work. I also want a chrome center insert to cover the hubs. I found a few on classychevusa, but again, I'm not sure on what will work and will not.

I had the HHR towed to a mech. that I trust, just got a phone call from the alternater has 2 diodes and the new battery I had installed at Pep Boys has a shorted cell, drove from Pep Boys home, should get the HHR back later today and will have to go to Pep Bpys and get another battery, a lesson learned stay with Delco.

Got 2 almost brand new tires for the front
of my Hhr. Brand name on them is
Mirada Sport GPX !
Nice looking tire from a name
i hadnt heard of before.

Have been real happy with my Hankook Ventus Concept 2's
i do a lot of turning cal de sac's every night and
it wears on the outside shoulder. I got little over 12,000 miles
out of two of them. But all in all a good tire from hankook,
maybe just not suited to good for news paper delivery

Raced a guy in a new decked out ford Explorer , He had me off the line , But i had no idea he was gonna go . So i creep up next to him at 75 mph , look at him , then drop to 3rd, and hit 110 mph so fast , He may be returning his ecoboost ford as we speak. Respect The SS BEEEach
