    Just curious about what kind of cool things you have installed in your wagon. Always on the lookout for something really neat that I haven't seen before...

    Anyone have anything amazing to share?

    With compliment to Andy who posted and MIA Norm, the "old school guys":cheers: I do have to agree with at least a vacume guage. My Dad swore by them and as years went by I forgot all about them till "old school rules" re-reminded me of them (Norm/Andy). I havn't as of yet instaled one on my rides but it's a definet plan before the upcoming summer has gone. That simple little vacume guage can tell you so much as to your engine and whats, what.:thumbs2:

    Oh yeah!
    My HHR has Xm radio. Called a few days ago and signed up for the music stations only - about $11/mo. I think it's going to be worth it. Was nice driving out in isolated areas and NOT having to listen to a CD.
    Really like 46 (classic vinyl) and 49 (classic AOR I think)
