Hey Oldschool, Is the horn replacing the OEM?
I`ve got the light-in-sight device on my windshield to bring the stop lights down into view.

HAHAHAHA He's not protective, just LOVES the forums. He is usually haunting the LX Forums, but he and I crossover post a lot. Did you say you changed the window locks?? And why does everyone change the antennae - is it ugly or something? It's real common, I see. Hey, I'm from Champaign Ill originally (a hundred years ago).

Wanna see hubby's car? I'll see if I can find one to link to... don't freak, we BOUGHT it with the custom paint!

WOW!!! ^That would be right at home here this weekend - the fairgrounds are having a "cruisin for a cure" for prostate cancer, and there will be a zillion old fantastically restored cars there. I'm very impressed with yours. Is that the original paint color -- that olive is VERY trendy this year. HAHAHAHA!

I was just wondering what era most of you consiter old school. I seem to be in the older group of HHR owners. I think of the 50s as old school.
