Another New Member Introduction
Hello fellow HHR owners. The wife and I picked up a 2006 LS HHR two days ago and are all smiles. We like the roomy nature of the car along with the retro-styling. We have owned several classic cars including a 1950 Ford, 1960 Cadillac, and currently a 1972 VW Bus. The classic style melds wonderfully with the new car amenities and the rollerskate like handling. Sorry I don't have any descent pics yet, we took delivery of it after dark and now it is filthy after driving around in the fresh snow all day.
Here's a blurry picture (temp was about -5F) of it at the dealership. We traded the 95 Blazer that is sitting next to it.
Here it is at home getting to know its color match driveway mate.

I bought mine on New Year's Eve, 2007...and I am enjoying it immensely.
I almost bought a orange one myself, but it was in pretty rough condition, and when I saw my dark silver 06, I HAD to have it.

Right now the poor battery doesn't have enough CCA and the oil is too thick for the temps.

Welcome to our newest member. I also am from Wisconsin. I have many memories from the early 70s in Mad-town, but we won't talk about those. LOL. You guys don't know how iconic it is that he owns a VW bus living in Madison. When most think of counter-culture and freaks and hippies and radicals, you tend to think of Berkeley or UCSB in Isla Vista, but it all started in Mad-town. glad you got a HHR.

Unfortunately, the VW scene in Madison is non-existent. There are a few of us and we can never get together to do anything. I am glad to here that there is a regional group for the HHR, I hope to meet some of you and share in the experience of this versatile car.
