Hello from Cow Hampshire
Hello to all
My name is Bill, and I just traded my 08 silverado for a brand new 09 LS Panel.
I pick it up tomorrow. I have always liked the HHR, and when the panel came out, I had to have one. Mine is white with an auto trans/remote start the only option.
Any one know the rear door dimensions diagonaly?
Thank you for your help

Where are you in NH?
I'm in Clinton, Mass.
I roll up to Milford every week for a carton of smokes though.
And I love those covered bridges https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/north-east-27/covered-bridge-thread-25341/
There's a car cruise in Milford on Tuesdays in the Summer that Northern New England HHR Club meets and rolls in together.

Nice looking panel

I saw your web site. It is pretty cool. How long has your club been around?
I took over the New England Impala club this year and started a new forum for it. http://badass-of-ne.forumotion.com/index.htm
The HHR is my daily/truck/retro/do everything transportation. It had 2 miles on it, when I first test drove it. Now it has 17, and this weekend I will be driving it to western NH to do some welding for a friend, and pick up some parts for my SS. So it will get it's workout.

Most of the club was on vacation so it was just me & him that night but he says (and the pictures on the site confirm) that they have some pretty good g2gs (get-togethers).
He had a family emergency and couldn't devote any more attention to the club so someone took over from him.
I was part of Club DSM when I had my Talon and went to the DSM Shootout in Ohio about 2001 and g2gs with similar cars are a blast (as you know from your Bad Ass club).
The Coast is too busy for my liking (I got out of Natick ASAP).
I like most of NH but stay away from the coast & cities.
This thread shows more of what I like

TIP - I let off the gas before I reach the crest of big hills so it can slow down a bit to not have to apply brakes down the other side.
I let as much momentum as possible drive me up hills.
I pay the gas to go up so I let gravity pay my way down and get as much momentum as possible to get up the next one.
Tickets suck though so I don't fly through villages or intersections.
I just let it fly when common sense says it's ok.
She's heavy so I used my instant MPG reading for a month or so to learn how to get the best MPGs.
I reliably get 30MPG with mostly backroads/highway, some around town and a few boost bursts & power curves just for fun.
