I somehow busted out the passenger side rear window on my HHR when I was mowing tonight. Just lovely. I have no idea how. I don't remember hitting anything,and I had the bagger hooked up too. I can't find anything in the yard,or in the car. I went around to the front yard to get my blower,and that's when I noticed the window was gone. My neighbor was mowing at the same time,but he had his bagger on too,and it's just a push mower. I don't think he did it.
My wife's best friend died 4 years ago yesterday at the age of 38. Sweet girl. I remember her saying that she would never sell a car she owned in town because she didn't want to see it going down the street with a trash bag over the window. Well,Christi I have a trash bag on my window for the first time ever.
I put my original type steering wheel on. It took me a week to repair the cracks and paint it. Paint will probably wear off. Don't care. It now cancels the turn signals when I turn. Really great. People aren't throwing me the finger because I'm signaling a turn for about 3 miles. Probably keep throwing me the finger but at least it will be for a different reason.
Well actually two days ago I put my original type steering wheel on my pick up. Makes my turn signals work. Maybe people will stop throwing me the finger because I've been signaling left turn for 3 miles. Today (and yesterday) I'm getting my wife's car ready for a local car show, It's pretty neat, right on the beach, combined with a boat show and a chili cook-off (yum). It's a fun show more like a 2-day picnic. I do wish, for her sake she would win a trophy. She's very competive, my thinking is if you are going to rod runs and car shows for trophies, your going for all the wrong reasons. She won a lot of trophies with the 28 Model A sedan I built her but the tri-five class she's in is much more competitrive.
New tires on the HHR today,and a new side window to replace the one I busted out Wednesday night.
I'm gonna start the C10 and let it bump for a bit. I need to back it out and put some stuff in the attic. Battery was dead when I tried so I've got the charger on it.
Found out that the serpentine belt doesn't like shifts at 6,500+rpm when it barely fits at maximum adjustment. New belt installed, test drive coming soon.
