Looks like GM is thinking about a performance tire also (unfortunately, not one that you guys in the north and east can use). But, it sucks in snow, etc.

Dont worry about the front, right now it looks like they are just looking at how the intercooler placement will work out, and over all perfomance on the 18's? with this package. I have no doubt if the ss moves forward into production they will completely change the front bumper. But I dont like the name HHR SS, too many letters, and I own an SS camaro. Maybe deluxe or something from a little farther back in history.

Don't get me going.......

The "tropic port" from which the S.S. Minnow "set sail" was actually the port of the Waikiki Yacht Club located at 1599 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu, Hawaii. The boat used for the series was a thirty-five foot cabin cruiser found in a Honolulu boat yard. To create its shipwrecked appearance the bow and stern of the boat were marked with chalk circles and a man with a sledgehammer slammed holes into the boat. A crane then lifted up the boat and put it on a barge which was towed to Moloa'a Bay for filming. The Minnow is now resting somewhere in a boat yard in Long Beach, California. The S.S. Minnow was actually named after Newton N. Minnow, the former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission who delivered his now famous speech at a broadcaster's convention in 1961 that denounced television as being "America's vast wasteland." Producer Sherwood Schwartz, insisted Mr. Minnow had "ruined television." Schwartz, of course, was the creator of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND and THE BRADY BUNCH.
Ok, we have hijacked the thread!
