Im bought a shaved handle kit...
You won't be allowed on the drag strip with shaved handles.  They need to be able to open the doors in the event of a crash.

I actually started mine today and let it warm up.  Couldn't go anywhere as the cover is frozen in place.  Jeromy - doing it in the hobby shop tomorrow after work.

OK, good luck today with your shock job! Sorry couldn't mae it down to help you today. Careful with those spring compressors.

Gentek51 Joe? As the mirror doesn't have maplights what did you use? The outside temperature must be nice though.

Typo, it's the same HHR mirror with OnStar and Map lights

Looking for an Onstar mirror for my Malibu with a screen for a rear camera.

Finalized the graphic for the GXP turbo heat shield last night.

I know how you feel.  I paid off my 401K loan that I used to buy my ex out of the house with my bonus.
I'm finally free of the ex. [No that's not Monica]

I immediately re-invested half that money per paycheck into my 401k deduction and the rest is like free money

Thanks, It's good to be completely debt free!  It's better to be able to brag about it! LOL!!!

Feels good doesn't it.  I just have the house (4-5 years)  and the wife's car (next year)

Jeromy - not a problem, they aren't coil overs.

That I know, but I was told by an NHRA track offical that there is a loop hole there. He told me to install some type of rod between the door thats hooked to the locking mech.  He says that he sees it all time and its completly legal..

Tanx and I agree.

Still not sure how I managed to snag her.  But life is a mystery and certain things don't require an answer.

Wax the car real slick and place some thick towels, 1 or 2 on the hood and trunk. When cats land on the towels, the cats dig in & skid on the towels and OFF the car  :lol:  With thick towels and good thick wax there are no scratches and the cat claws get stuck in the fabric even after they've hit the ground :rofl:
Freaks out cats real bad  :lol: :dancing:
Use the car cover with some towels and they stay off that too.

Switch out the towels for some of those sticky rat traps.  Might as well have all the fun you can! LOL!
