Greetings from South Jersey
Hey folks,
I just wanted to say hello and take the time to introduce myself. My name is Rick, I'm from Atlantic County, and I just bought my new-to-me '07 HHR 2LT in white with the 2.4 and in stick from Hawthorne Chevrolet about 12 hours ago. They were nice enough to come to me both times; once when I checked the car out and the second when I signed the papers. They're up at Exit 160 off the GSP and I'm at 40 so that helped me out a lot.
It's with mixed emotions that I join this group as I had to part with my previous car to get this one. I sold it before its time as I was looking to lower my monthly payments to help offset a mortgage that I'll be soon undertaking. My car was a 2008 polar white Sky Redline, also in a stick, with the GM Performance Parts Turbo Upgrade Kit.
Ahh, c'est la vie! Nonetheless I'm still looking forward to spending many-o-years with my HHR! I love that cyan backlit interior, the kickn' sound system, the heated seats, removing a part of my roof with just a push of a button, the wonderfully executed design of retro & modern and last but not least having more than 5.5cu.ft. of trunk space!
Again, hello and thank you for having me here. I look forward to getting to know some of ya folks!

to the site!!! I understand how you feel about moving from the Sky to the HHR. A couple of years ago when I lost my job I decided to do the same thing and traded in my Crossfire for a black HHR 1LT. I definitely missed the looks of the Crossfire but the HHR got around much better in the snow and had the capacity for cargo.

Welcome to our hangout Rick, from a former S. Jersey resident. I'm from Indian Mills originally, just north of Hammonton, off 206. I'm feeling for ya having to give up the Sky, but at least it was for a good reason.

And to everyone else thank you very much for welcoming me! I'm already quite impressed with the character of the folks on here.
