Welcome to One of the Best sites you will ever join, Fasten your seat belt and anjoy the ride, Welcome The Sailors of the Future. You need to purchase an HHr, Mine is a 2006 2LT Loaded and I think its the best vehicle on the base. My mileage changes due to the high speeds it keeps doing.

Well this will be my car so my wife does not really care. She has her Avalanche we have had it for 5 years now and wont ever get rid of it. So the HHR will be my commuter and my toy. I am kinda into those different limited editions of vehicles. So the conversion HHR I am looking at will probably be just the ticket.

Here is my last play toy I owned.

The Boss 5.4 was #70 out of 232 ever made in hugger Orange for 2003 from LA West Conversions

Along with my 1971 Trans Am 455 1 of 1231.

And I also used to own a 2001 Ford Bullitt Mustang.

I always wanted one of these when they came out finally bought one this last summer. It is a 1988 Nissan Dessert Runner 1 of 1300 ever built. This is my real play toy.

So if everything goes well I will probably buy the HHR tommorow

Just because the owners Manual states the you are to use 93% Oct, you do not have to., I have never put 93% in my ride and it drives mighty fine. I only use 87% but I do know people who will only put 93% in thier HHr.

food for thought

Dude; - he meant bigger and cooler than his Kia Spectra 5...
