Other info: I was noticing a few of these on the road but just ones that were bare bones. I seen they had potential to look really good giving the right vision. So I test drove one, a week later I bought one, then fell in love with it and started pouring the mods into it. It came quick being I barely got her in May but I always told myself when I get a “fun” car she’s going to be done quickly. She’s put the “Dently” on the back burner for now but my new toys do that to old ones. The pics I posted for the submission I believe captures the raw beauty and retro style of the HHR. I have more pics in my gallery that details more of the transformation that I have put Black Betty through, feel free to check them out.

 

Great pictures Gary Black Betty looks super clean Makes me miss Black Knight a little She's definitely a Featured HHR of the Month

 

Oh mijo...absolutely gorgeous...
The black HHR is just the best IMHO.

@ngelita y mi prietito lindo

 

Thanks Dayton! I'm just thankfull she's finally done... Been a real headache trying to get everything going right! Black Knight was a Beauty as well. I guess I missed why you traded in for Agent Orange...

 

1. 2008 SS vs. 2007 1LT
2. New warranty vs. almost out of warranty
3. Approximately same monthly payment
4. Not so bad to keep clean vs PITA to keep clean

 

I hear ya, Black is a b@*%$^ to keep clean and SS vs. 1lt is a no brainer.

 

looks great. Love the look of the street glows on it. Can you drive with that where you are, or is it just for show?

Only thing is in your listing you have it listed as an SS edition spoiler, but your isn't the SS one, it's the other standard spoiler

 

beautiful car man! uh oh, the SS's have some competition now...haha. all three submissions this month are beautiful, i'm glad i'm one of them, so it's easy to choose where my vote goes haha. i'd hate to have to choose out of these three.

 

Specs revised, wasn't aware of that being I was told it was an SS edition when I had it first put on, how embarassing! . The lights are street legal as long as they don't flash, I assumed they meant the chaser mode.

 

Great looking ride and pics!!

Even though they are blue??

I know in Florida the only two colors that you can't run on the roads are red (that aren't tail/rear side marker) and blue.
