I need to take the seat cover off just to see what it looks like. Sometimes I feel like I live in that car.

Where do you guys deliver to? The farthest we usually go is around 500 miles, one way. I've been as far south from DC as exit 1 in SC I85 (almost Atlanta), North to Albany,NY, west to Cleveland and Buffalo. Typical day is only about 300-400 miles, but long shots 3 or 4 times a month.
I have been as far as Houston, Texas and Fayetteville, Arkansas from Atlanta. My 1200 mile day was a trip to Charlotte, NC and as soon as I got back to Atlanta area I got a trip going to Robard, Ky. That is real close to Indiana.

I already replaced my exhaust header a few months ago and then I had to replace the flex pipe.

You will be at 300,000 very soon. BTW we did get a trip to Boston a few months ago, but I didn't get it. They paid $1700.00 to get that little box up there. Hopefully it wasn't drugs!

My hat is off to you.

Congratulations
It actually took me about 26 hours. I was ready for some sleep by then.

+1 here, too!

Although, with the HHR out of production, they'd maybe have to run a spot with a collection of 300K+ mile vehicles. There should be a way to promote this durability, and tie it back to currently available Ecotecs, for example.

I don't think they are interested in 300,000 miles. Saturn wasn't interested in my Saturn with 366,000. Maybe Michelle could tell us.

I will try to get a picture of it soon, but it is dirty. It is hard to keep it clean as much as I drive. I still have to figure out how to post a picture on here. I tried to post one of the odometer but that didn't work.
