If you had to choose a theme for your car what would it be?

I was thinking an Harley Davidson HHR eddition :beer:

Why would you want to do that. They have bad brakes, are hot to ride from the engine, thin tired - I'm talking touring class, noisy and over priced. Of course if thats the image you want to put forward, why not -- Ford did.

Own a Ultra classic and gold wing and would not want my hhr named after either one of them. Ford did it and am not impressed. My hhr is comfortable, fun, useful and economical along with being safe. I just don't think a M/C identifies with it. Besides, what better statment would you use to get the discussion going.

LOL, I must be the only thinking in a different direction, when you say a theme, I think like a themed party, LOL! I guess you see where my mind goes! If I had think of a theme for my car, it would be an old gangster car! That is what everybody says when they see it, one guy called it my Al Capone car! I LOVE IT, so that would be theme!

Well, considering off the floor they are slower than a vette in the 1/4, then people dump another 20-30k into a bike that already cost them 20k to make it actually fast, so no, i do not consider a harley to be fast by any streach of the term. Their new v-rod based production dragster is a gimmic, if you count that then you might as well count the big 4's superbikes because just as many are produced, and at over 35,000 bucks, you could really make a triumph rocketIII haul since the new turbo kit for it is around 5,000, and puts over 200 ftlbs of torque to the tire.

for around 12k, you can get a bike that will run circles around any harley from the following companies:

honda
kawasaki
suzuki
yamaha
triumph
KTM

for the price of a cheap harley you can add

ducati
aprillia
mv
bmw

And finally, for the price of a full dressed harley, you can have bikes that blow the doors off 99% of the motoring world, including exotic cars.

So, do i judge a book by its cover, no, because if you put a slow piece of crap in shiney chrome wraper, it is still a slow piece of crap. :beer:

Anyhoo, Back on topic

Why not do a theme no one has done?

:thumb: WOOO HOOO I got it, do I win ANYTHING?????? ANYTHING, please, I swear I won't be mad! LOL, I'm teasing, but I would love to do that to my car, an old gangster car. Just to confirm the mini hearsh thing, that is the first my 70 year old father said when I pulled up in it! LOL. ;)

I agree that since the Harley theme has been done, I would do something else.

But, if you think about it, there are some similarities....

Harley's (most of them) are based on a classic style (40's-50'), so is the HHR (49' Suburban).
Harley's are primarily a cruiser style bike, I see HHR's as more of a cruiser.
The average HHR costs close to 20K, Harleys are in the same price range.
It is not a bad thought. Too bad that it has been done before.

I do think the Al Capone theme would be cool for a Black HHR!!!!

How about an American Graffitti theme (that may be too corny)??

How about the Elvira Phantom Edition? With it being so close to Halloween....

Or, Maybe a Coors Silver Bullet delivery truck. Make it a two door panel truck with an automatic hatch that would open and deliever ice cold beer kegs to parties.....

I think that would work for Silverstone colored HHRs....
