Finally got my HHR

I've been posting here about wanting one of these things for a while but always had to put off getting one for one reason or another. Then, once I decided to pull the trigger, it took me another while to find the one I wanted. It's a Blue 2006 2LT w/leather, ABS, 5-spd and, best of all, no sunroof (I'm tall...sunroofs subtract 2 inches of headroom).

Had to fly out to Phoenix and drive it 550 miles back to NM, but it was worth it. It was a great deal and the previous owner (original owner) took fantastic care of it. I was actually taken aback at how new it still looked and felt for being 5+ years old and having 54K miles (not to mention being a first-year model). It was a fun drive home...averaged 33.2 mpg. Not bad for "the big engine". :)

"Not bad for "the big engine" That made me smile..

Amazing how these 4 bangers are pretty zippy..

Many years back, it was a 409" with twin AFB's. Times do change..
