Hi all! I can't believe there is such a thing as an HHR forum! I guess I'm not the only one insanely pleased and proud of their new HHR!
I'm in Prince George, British Columbia. Not THAT far north, I know, but I like to exagerate sometimes for effect
.
I can't believe that I'm posting in a CAR forum. I've never cared for any car, never cared what I drove, considered all cars to be resource-wasting, noise and air polluting eye-sores, but unfortunately neccessary to everyday life.
That is, until I got my shinny new BLACK HHR.
Wasn't even thinking of getting a new car, I had a '91 Tempo, it had four wheels and it ran, so what was wrong with that? One morning about six weeks ago, on my way to work, I got hit by a logging truck on the highway. I was shaken, but unhurt. Unfortunately my Tempo didn't fare as well. It was a complete write-off, but then again, it being a '91, it could have been hit by a shopping cart and the car would have been a write off.
So off I went looking for a new car. My requirements were simple: Small car, good on gas, hatch-back/wagon with a flat-floor cargo area (for the dog ), reasonably priced.
I've never even heard or seen an HHR until I saw one at the dealers. I test drove one, and boy-o-boy was it a fun car to drive! I loved the styling, and it met all my requirements! Loved having something different and unique.
I never thought that I would fall in love with a car, but here I am, glad to have found a forum of kindred spirits where I can brag, brag, brag about
my new car!
I can't get over the good gas mileage I get for the size of the car and the size of the engine (though I do a lot of highway driving). I can't get over the features that come optional with the base LT (I got automatic, that was the only add-on I went for), and I can't believe just how GOOD it feels to drive a nice car that makes people's head turn. I think all this car needs is a chocolate dispenser and life will be complete!
Glad to be here!

To this big happy(most of the time)family of owners and enthusiasts.I think you will enjoy it here.As to the chocolate dispenser,I am working on one.Mine needs to be removable because the heat down here in the deep South would melt the kisses into one big lump if I left it in Rebel Grey.
