Well I'll tell ya.......I have seen a few animals (Deer,Fox,Racoons) look my way before I get there and I am a pretty good ways off (you can see thier eyes reflecting)...
I am am gonna say yes....$5.97 and if they worked just one time they were worth it. Plus they look so awesome...
I did have one guy tell me that they didn't work for him but then again he mounted them on his dash.......BBWWWAAAHAHAHA !

There's some sweet classics there in that pic. Would love to have any of them.

Being a classic fan along with having quite a few in my family, I'm not seeing the "retro" in the HHR's. Don't get me wrong, I love my HHR but unless it has a surf board on top or made up like a woody with classic wheels the HHR's look out of place. No ofense OP. Mine would look any better nor would quite a few HHR's though some would fit in wonderfully.

Agree with that. When you see an HHR next to the 49 suburban you can see a slight resemblance. They have a little retro and plenty of modern.

Back on topic. I may get some of the deer alerts. I've hit two in our old excursion. Luckily it was in that and it didn't hurt it much. And I've almost hit a few in the HHR. Got very lucky. I hate them. Always in the way!

You still gettin rid of yours??

I'll second that. I could never stand the old themed pt cruisers. But I really like the old Skool look on the HHR.

Ya .
Probally right after i get the camaro home from fl.
So she'll be for sale with about 101,000 miles on her when i get back.
I've been looking at GMC Typhoons. I'll probally wait for the right one ,.
Ya i'll lose some gas mil. I average 22 mpg Typhoon was rated at 21 on the highway .
But the 65%-35% rear -front AWD and balls should make up for it . I still owe on the SS , But have had offers higher , A guy offered me 9 which is insuficent , LOL The motor is new , I'll Play that card .
So i'll have some type of down payment , Just looking for a change , and somthing i don't have to worry about every day ( Who's that , Wheres it parked ? - Is it safe, Ect. ) . But also is somthing you won't see on every street , And will probally lose to, If ya try and race it. Kinda like the batride. LOL .
