If you were rich, would you still own an HHR?

Just curious. If you were really wealthy and could afford any car, or several cars, would you still own an HHR? I gotta say, I've only had my HHR for 3 months and I absolutely love it! I was thinking the other day that even if I was really wealthy, I'd definitely still have the HHR, just because it's such a cool looking car ( I love the "retro" looking cars) and I love driving it, plus it's so versatile as a wagon. To be honest, even though the HHR was in the top 3 cars I was looking to buy, I really wanted to buy the Chrysler 300 or Dodge Challenger (sorry, that car is just freakin gorgeous!), but got the HHR because a) better fuel economy, b) front wheel drive (for snow) and c) way cheaper insurance. So anyway, if I was rich, I'd have 2 cars parked in my garage (in Santa Barbara of course!), a 2009 Dodge Challenger and my Silver 2009 Chevy HHR. Wouldn't they look good parked side by side? Two great retro rides What would you have?

If I got rich before I bought it, unlikely. After? You betcha! I'd have the most bad-ass HHR anywhere! lol

Yes. We'd buy more of them.

We'd put the Amythest in storage and get a Black SS for me and Tricia would get the Sunburst Orange II (when it was still available)... loaded to the nuts.

I truly believe the HHR SS is as much fun as any Ferrari or Z06, etc. If for some reason you are into the scene or are single and looking to attract a gold-digger (why?), then a Lambo would have to be your car of choice though. I have friends with Ferraris that estimate the maintenance expenses over the years work out to about $1.00 per mile, so no matter how much money you have, that just has to seem foolish. Wife and i went to a high end night club (long story), I had polished the SS, and they actually directed us to park with the Porsches etc on the front row, so hey, maybe you don't have to spend a ton to pose .
