Yep, I promised it so now I’m delivering - here’s the first pic of my new HHR :thumb:

My New Cardinal Red 2008 Chevy HHR LS

My Cavalier was a true basic car - crank windows, manual doorlocks, etc. The only option on that car was the deck spoiler! OK, so it had ABS and a CD player standard, but that was about it. The Cavalier had developed a few quirks over the years. I’d smelled a bit of coolant here and there, the air conditioning (a necessity in Las Vegas!) wouldn’t blow cold if the temperature was over about 85 degrees and you were going slower than about 45 MPH, and the speedometer would either read zero or 50 MPH too high on cold mornings. I won’t miss those quirks :D !!!

Fast forward and now I’m still trying to get used to some things in the HHR. Remote keyless entry, power windows, mirrors, and door locks, cruise control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, automatic headlamps, speed sensitive wipers, On Star - it’s all a bit overwhelming at times, but in a good way :) I can’t believe how quiet it is on the freeway and how smooth it rides. I just love the styling and all the room inside - all this with 30+ highway MPG :D Oh yeah, I made sure to get the 6 year, 72,000 mile warranty with zero deductible and the

There are a few custom touches I’d like to add sometime such as body color or chrome mirrors, chrome doorhandles if chrome mirrors, a billet grille, custom wheels, some interior chrome, maybe an OEM leather steering wheel, and a possible cold-air intake. Of course, I’m going to add a few Parrothead decals to the windows, too :thumb:

Have fun and drive safe :) !!!
