HELLO from a newb

hello everyone,

i purchased my 2006 HHR 2LT 2.4 litre in april with about 40,000 mi:

i am in LI,NY.

just read about a few upgrades that i am contemplating. i didnt realize that there is this much available for this car. we got it as family transportation. i might as well enjoy this car as well.

so far i just dont like a few things. here in NY the stop lights are hung to close to the intersection so it is difficult to see them when u r at the line for the light. then the a/t shifter isnt in the proper position and with the arm rests up or down it really doesnt feel right. with them down it seems as tho u will prematurley wear out the leather.

on the bright side the car does have more power than i was anticipating and the handling isnt bad at all and has a comfortable ride. all tho i cut down the seating positions due to 2 car seats it seems to have ample room for my family with some storage. i am taking this car more often and i do like it. in my book this means more.

if you want to see my other cars go to :

thank you,
tom

welcome to the forum. nice clean looking HHR.

You got the HHR scrunch going on to see the lights. Go with what badassbowtie said and grab the traffic light prism. I've heard they work well.
