I stopped by my local dealer in Fullerton on Tues. and couldn't believe how dead they were. I walked in and actually had to go to the salesman at the desk and ask for a brochure. He goes to get it then goes "here ya go" and walks away. He didn't ask if he could show me anything, ask if I had any questions, or when I was planning on buying. I know the economy is really slow, but those folks have already thrown in the towel. I knew right then that I would not be making my purchase there.
Stay tuned...

You can see the disappointment in their faces when you tell them you are just there for parts. They are HUNGRY.
I probably shouldn't go in the front door and get their hopes up, but it is kind of funny to see climb over each other.
How is the wife doing?

Wow those pictures are amazing I think if there was ever a car i would feel safe about getting in an accident with not saying I feel safe of about getting in an accident but. The pictures I have see on here of people who have had them I would feel ok about my car. I am so glad your family is doing well after that. Hope to see you back out on the road with another family saver.

Hey all,
I very proud to say that my wife and I settled on a replacement HHR and now have it sitting in the garage. We picked it up today from Selman Chevrolet in Orange, Ca.
The new HHR is a fully loaded '09 2LT Imperial Blue Metalic with leather interior, XM radio, OnStar, and 18" X 8.5" American Racing wheels (American Rogue Chrome model) with Nitto 235/40 x 18 tires wrapped around them.
Now, If I could get Tim to set me up with another pair of So Ca HHRs stickers...I think we'd be ready for another g2g.
Angelita - Please do me a favor and post a picture of our new HHR. Thanks!

So Randy, besides having my all-time favorite color, how does the ride feel on the 18's?
(I swear if Selman had had those on my car, I would have kept them!)
Can't wait to see another IBM! And glad you and Anna stayed in the HHR familia.

Even though the suspension is the same "sport-tuned" as our other HHR, this one feels a bit tighter. Could be just because it is new.
