I think I found something that might work for you. One of our vendors has a jukebox horn that comes pre-loaded with songs. One of the songs is Charge :)

I have the horn. I used it last weekend when we did our little lap around the track at Irwindale Speedway. It's cheap, so you aren't out much money to give it a try, but I was disappointed at the keyboard. As a pianist, I wanted to program my own song - BUT! Whatever you laboriously program disappears each time you turn the car off!!! And if you're not a musician, I don't know HOW anyone else could figure it out, it's THAT HARD.

Anyway, that's off the subject - the songs work well, especially CHARGE!

My favorite song is the da dump..... da dump....
da dump, da dump, da dump, da dump, da DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....
da da da da daaaaaa. (Munsters or Addams Family?)

Oh yeah, you can do it slow or fast too....kinda cool.

How much time does it take to install the Horn?, and is it hard to do?....I would guess you would need to disconnect the battery for the installation, but I dont know how to disconnect my battery!!. I might need to have someone install the horn for me. =)

Hi again!, time to write an update again for Wheelie!

Today marks a whole month that Wheelie has gone without more than 1 fillup! ...He has been very conservative in using his PLUS grade gas and has tried to make it last for the whole month, AND HE HAS!! , Wheelie is very good at saving!, at this time last year, I had spent $93 on gas, THIS year at the same time, I have spent only $32.01!..about a $60 diffrence WOO HOO!, Way to go buddy! ...I plan to fill him up again either tomorrow or Friday, he tells me he can go another 65 miles before completely running out, I may make 1 more WalMart trip before filling him up again!

I also plan to do some mods this month on him, I'm trying to locate some decorative accents for him, But unfortunately, Walmart doesnt have them. ...I may take Wheelie to an auto supply store and see what little presents I can spoil Wheelie with..HEEHEE!! ..he already has a musical horn coming his way, I bet Wheelie will be very happy about that!

Well, off to do some chores now, Untill next update!

Hi All!

This past week was busy for me and my little 4 wheeled buddy. My mom had to go do alot of errands, and of course, she didn't think she was going to have enough room to stick all her things into her car, Once again Wheelie was sent to my mom's rescue! ....she had bought like 9 dresses at JC Penny, Now...you know how expensive department store clothes can be?..well, My mom has a way to getting all her clothes at Pennies on the dollar! ...the 9 dresses she bought had a value of about $270, and do you know how much she paid for all of them???...$11!!!!!!!..That's right..ELEVEN DOLLARS!!!! ..LOL, My mom knows how to bargain.

Well anyway, My mom happily took ALL those dresses and put them inside Wheelie and off they went back home, My Mom must have been like this the whole way home....* *

My mom also had to pay her home insurance, so Wheelie took her to the Insurance office so she could take care of that. So now we are safe Insurance wise for another 6 months..YAY!!

Oh!, and Wheelie was fed too, on the 2nd of August...Total cost of Wheelie's meal was $43.00...It will last him the whole month.

That's all for this update, Untill the next one!!, See Ya!

It's journal time again!!

Ok, Wheelie has been busy this week, this past week, a preacher by the name of Rodney Howard Browne came to town this last week, He came for a total of 4 days, Soooo....I told Wheelie that we will be going to another church to see him, but unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, I was only allowed to go to two of the services, Wheelie sadly only could go one, BECAUSEEE..My mom had decided to spend the day with my next door neighbor at the mall Taking Wheelie with them! ...I told my Mom that I needed Wheelie at 6 PM that Friday, but she took her time and I ended up going with a friend in another car. I really had no choice, my friend and I were already committed in going, Sorry Wheelie. ...But I made it up to him. I cleaned his interior.

But Wheelie had a little suprise at the service he did attend!...A friend of mine that I used to babysit for had a new baby, the baby, now 2 years old. went inside of Wheelie (with the help of his mommy) and started playing with Wheelie's radio knobs, he was very facinated with Wheelie's blue lighting and he kept pressing on the defogger button and Kept saying.."LIGHT!..LIGHT!"..I busted out laughing, and just smled at the baby..he was so cute...Wheelie enjoyed the baby and didn't mind him fooling with his knobs.

Today, Wheelie was hot!, we have a heatwave here in Louisiana, and the temp. got up to 105!, based on Wheelie's temperture readout!..I was like...WOAH! ....But Wheelie cooled off in some shade...hopefully it will cool down this week.

That is all for today..OH!, and I am going to install Wheelie's new musical horn soon, Wheelie can't wait to have it on!!

Jose

Hey everyone.

It's been a while since I've written in Wheelie's Journal, sorry about that, tese last few weeks have been very busy for us. the weather here in Louisiana takes a toll on you and can really affect the way you live..HEEHEE..I've been so tired from the heat, it's ridiculous.

Ok, onto Wheelie's Journal..

Wheelie has been behaving very well as usual, he has been giving me no problems whatsoever, which in a way concerns me..LOL...I have been waiting for some of the problems that plague other HHR owners to hit Wheelie, but after 15 months of ownership, I can honestly say, I can report NO problems as of today...maybe it's because I don't drive hard?, I am a very calm person, so I dont "Race" my engine at all, I dont like to go ver the speed limit, What ever the number says on the speed limit post, that's the speed I go and i dont go over it, Wheelie can tell you!, he won't lie, He will turn over his "Black Box" and you can see the speed I go in a particular area and It will always say I go exactly the same speed as the post says.

The outings Wheelie and I have gone to were nice, I think Wheelie has told you that My brother and I went to Baton Rouge to get to know the city a little better, we went to 2 nice places there. the total miles I spent was about 120 miles so that brung Wheelie's total miles at 7,159,,,That is still too low for Wheelie to have on his odometer...I need to take him to Miami again.

Oh and the pictures..UGH!, I've been trying over and over to find the right time to take some more pics of Wheelie, and I always have something coming up!, and mother nature doesnt help..LOL But today, RIGHT NOW is sunny..I am going to grab my camera, wake Wheelie up and take some pics of him before something else happens, I WILL have these pictures taken!!

Ok, I'm off now, untill the next update!

Jose
