I see so many HHR's now!
Seriously, I'm seeing them everywhere now. I know you tend to notice vehicles... once you own the same one. But this is getting crazy, I'm losing my mind, I see so many now!
Once I bought mine 2 of my friends/coworkers bought them, and they were like me... came from a full size GM truck. One traded in his truck, and the other kept his, but keeps it parked. Now My Dad want's one???(actually 2) I took Him for a ride, and he is... well at least 290lbs and 6'2 . He's was like... "I can't believe the room in here, It looks so small from the outside, This is great!". He's been hell-bent on getting an "Escalade", but he's like.. I can buy 2 things, and Save money on gas. Anyway, I think the Big Old SUV... maybe on its way out. Because I'm seeing HHR's everywhere, and now My Pop's want's 2 of them.

It is strange here in Columbus I see 4 or 5 a day on the North side of the city. However, I have yet to see one on the South side of town. Also every HHR I have seen an older person drives it. Like 40 plus.

I hope to see more of them on the road. It tells GM they can build cars we'll buy, and it makes mods cheaper. It really never mattered to me how many people owned a particular vehicle. As long as I liked it, I'd buy it.
Let's hope GM can turn around and tool up for the new reality of smaller, more efficient vehicles that we can actually use for other things as well.

Yeah, but how many AA5s and Panels have you seen? The '09 SS AA5 is going to be "the next big thing"!!!!! I want one but need a 6 speed, not a five speed......... I also need a 6.2 under that hood! Sorry, but I have two "Viper trucks" and am spoiled by 8.3 liters. It just seems wrong to pay extra to go from 2.2 liters to 2.0.
