Got an oil change today. When I got back home, one of my neighbors had questions for me. Apparently, he really likes the way the HHR looks. I pointed out a white LS to him in the parking lot as the alternative look to mine, but he said he specifically likes the way the SS looks better. He seemed thrilled to find out that the SS badges meant something. He said he wants to buy one now but doesn't know where to look. I referred him to this forum as a starting point.

I bet you've got that "warm and fuzzy feeling" right about now HHR~SS~Panel, doing your own work is always nicer than paying the dealer.
even though 
Average approx. 32 MPG at exactly whatever was posted for highway speeds.

Made a couple phone calls after seeing this Locally and bought it. Even includes a brand new spare filter. (Includes airbox shield, lid, filter, tube, clamp and mounts. Seller just forgot to include the polished clear coated tube in the pic.) Everything is included nothings missing.
I'll take off my K&N and put this one on tomorrow, up until I get that Supercharger in at least. Will match my chrome and mirror stainless panels under the hood better.
Price was right on it, so I nabbed it.
