The HHR Sucks :)

Well it sucks dirt up from the road to the rear window! With our cold weather when the HHR is driving down the road you can see that white cloud get sucked up ther ear end of the car due to pressure differental I assume. Does that happen to those with a spoiler? Sucks when you wash the HHR to see the my rear end get dirty that fast :) Sucks having a dirty rear :)
But is a spoiler worth it? Will it cut down the effect?

Thanks

Do what I do ....

Get yourself an electric pressure washer to blast the rear and other dirt collecting areas on demand and also before you hand wash.
