Golf peaceful?

Man if I had a dollar for everytime my late Father swore a blue streak before wrapping a putter around the nearest tree, well let's just say he kept MacGregor in business in the 80's and 90's.

I'll take wiring over golf anytime.

I have only went golfing on a couple of occasions...with good reason. I have done a lot more wiring than golfing, but I am not really a fan of either.

"Punched Out" a Pontiac in college, got roped into a water pump replacement by my then girlfriend's roommate.

Still have the scars from slugging that miserable 2.8, my hand always throbs when I see one of those plastic piggies.

Tell me about it, just no give at all when you belt the valve cover a good one.

To make things worse, the plastic pig puked its transmission a week later, her Dad bought her an MR2 to replace it.

I actually liked the Fieros in the last couple years they were produced.

Well here is a bit more progress on the visor. I heeded the advice of my wiser chevyhhr.net buddies and mechanically fastening it to roof. That meant I had to bite the bullet and remove the head-liner...which was far easier than I thought it would be. Getting it reinstalled will probably be another story...lol
It is bolted down at the outer edges just above the A-pillars and in the middle under the antenna. I plan on using 3M tape across the entire width front and rear after it's painted. I think my air relief channels are working as planned because it withstood about an hour of 65 mph driving today with just the three fastened points and no tape! :)
