Goodbye All!!
Well...I hate to say this but...I found a car that I liked better and a deal that I couldnt pass up. Sooooooo....I traded my HHR Saturday for a 2006 Miata Grand Touring with every option available. I got a $6000 rebate and a trade in thas was $1000 higher than anywhere else I had looked. I definitely enjoyed my HHR and had fun with it but definitely couldnt pass on this car. I know many of you wont agree with the decision...but I couldnt afford two cars and just HAD to have the Miata...so go ahead...tell me how bad a decision it is! 
Ultimately, I liked my HHR and I LOVE the Miata. So...I wont be on here much any more. Ill still lurk around occassionally. Good luck to everyone with their HHRs and I hope everyone has fun with the panels and SS models. Here is a pic of my car...Well its not my exact car..as it is 5 degrees BELOW zero today...but it is identical.

Hey not the choice that i would have made but i do love miata's, and thats coming for a impala ss guy. You just got a go cart on crack so have fun and i'm sure you will. "The Man" will be on you with that car, or atleast thats been my experience in them. I have driven 3 different miatas and have loved every one. I actually drove a first year miata in blue to my senior prom, vary rare car and loved ever bit of it (expecially the bit at about 110)

Sorry to see you leave "The Brotherhood". And, congratulations on your new car.
If it's any consolation, you did exactly the same thing I'm doing. The HHR is an in between vehicle, until my new one is schedule for build.
You'll have fun with the Miata...I know several people that have them and enjoy the hell out of them (be careful on wet or snowy roads).

Funny story..when we bought the Miata..I had the HHR loaded with my bowling bag ( a double pull behind type), my wife bowling bag, all my car cleaning utensils, my emergency raod kit and our suitcase (overnight bag) as we were out of town, my portable dvd player and we all fit in the Miata. In comparison to the old ones..this puppy has a BIG trunk...oh it also fit the extra set of floor mats I made the dealer throw in!
