I have taller bikes, and many times have my wife who rides also. Plus my HHR is the cashmere interior, and would not take much mud, dirt too destroy inside. I will probaly be trying the current Rec Hitches available soon. I will let you know and keep me posted on your setup, also the outcome of the engine light.
Thanks!!

I came across this, Hidden Hitch & DrawTite will have their hitches out by the middle of this month. Plus their hitches say nothing about the insullation being tampered with and use pre existing holes with only hole needing drill enlargement. Plus their cheaper between $111 - $129. Hell I think I will wait for the hidden hitch. Here is the link. http://www.etrailer.com/products.asp...vrolet&t1=&h=e

Hi All,
Just reporting on whats happening with the engine light coming on. The dealer called me up and their kepping the car for a couple of days. It seems like it's the controler module. What is that? I don't know. A controller module I take it
They had to place an order for one. The parts guy was cool about the whole thing he said it was nothing major, but hey I guess thats what they always say. He did say they took the car apart. Lets hope that will be the first and last.
I'll keep on posting the drama as I get details.

I guess it's not driveable cause they offered me a rental. I can't wait till I get my little HHR back, they said probably tomorrow, but i'll get more detail on the problem. If you have any questions youd liked me to ask them just post them and I'll get answers for them.

Hi All,
Got the car back on Tuesday, I haven't posted cause I've been kind of busy with work and all. But it turns out that the bad control module was the module that does crank/cam timing. Like SIHHR said it could have been driveable but it would not be recommended. The dealer said the module was defective, that's why it was intermitent. They also said that the wiring on the module was torn like if a rat had been muching on it. But they said that it could be just a defective one. They had not seen any other cars with that problem come by.
I also got a call from Chevy Customer Service to get feedback on my experience of the car. I told them about the incident but of course the person on the phone just wanted to hear good things. Bad time to call. I did suggest more Hp at least 200Hp for future models to compete with the import market 4 cyls. Did brag about how many compliments I get thoug. I'ts a good looking car.
Well enough ramblin.
Take care all
