I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them!

It has almost been 2 full years since my last stop in here. I figured I would show you what has been up lately. I have almost 47k on the HHR now, and the last few thousand have been some rough miles but she has taken it like a champ! I moved back in december to Groves, TX (Beaumont/Port arthur) It is coastal and home to almost all of the refineries that are in TX. It is wet, humid, dirty, dusty, and nasty down here. It is my home town that I lived for 16 years before moving to Ft Worth until I was 21 then moving bakc here for school.
Anyways, Here is some pictures I have taken along the way.

As delivered, 18 miles on the clock

Around April, spring time, I decided to wash it up after the harsh dirty winter, and a big tree branch fell on it, WHILE i was washing..what are the odds? I couldn't help but laugh and snap a picture.

So let's see, as of right now with 47k the car has been debadged and that is the only mod I have do to the car thus far. I have 2 chips in the window, the chin spoiler is broke and bent up, I have thousands of scratches, 4 dents, interior plastic is scarred and cut up as well. I never would have thought this car would hold up to some of the things I have put it through to get form location to location. It has involved, mudding, climbing, rock crawling, hauling, moving, going through trails, and more. And this car has done it all even when the 4x4 trucks just watched and stared in their clean corners. Love this car!

 

Awesome pix!
Although my Blackie will *never* look like that!

It is pretty bad right now too. Since I start school again this Monday I plan to wash it this weekend, since between my new job and school I wont be doing any washing. So I want to give it one last shine up before the winter blows in.
