About a month ago I drove through paint that was spilled on the road. In most cars the paint would have hit the wheel wells,the back of the car and maybe a little on the side. In my HHR it sprayed paint top to bottom from the front doors all the way back. Since then I have been researching this issue and the only problem more discussed is the shift/key locking. So why is Chevy still trying to rip us off by selling the step assists for $550? The rear lift gate is cheaper than the step assists. I'm not asking for free step assists just give me a fair price and admit that there is a flaw. This is the issue with GM that is bankrupting them. Blame me for buying the car and ignore the problem.

Keep your car in the garage if your so worried about everyday, run of the mill, who gives a crap wear and tear. Just dodge the 200mph rocks and do jumps over gravel like I do
. It's the real world out there! If it's a show car, keep it at the show! I use mine to get around. Touching up paint is part of owning any car. Blaming the MFR because you drive over a pebble
! WTF ladies! You wanted the big fenders because it looks cool... you didn't think about how they are out in the line of fire? Come on!
A design flaw would be if the rocks constantly hit you in the face, that would suck.

I've seen lots without the "step assists" around (prolly 06, mind you). WTF is a "step assist"? Does anybody actually use these to assist their step? Who's got the JACKED UP HHR? I call them running boards. I think it just looks better with them. You can stand on the outside with the window open and drive with a 2x4 to the gas pedal, it's AWESOME.

Do us all a favor, trade it in and quit your crying!
