What kind of car did you give up for your HHR?
I gave up a White 2002 Buick Regal LS. It wasn't as fancy as some Regals, though. It didn't have leather seats or a sunroof or a supercharger; it was just a basic Regal. I can't totally complain, it was still a decent quality car, and it did have the good GM 3800 series engine. I was getting bored with that car fast and I needed a change. I got the HHR because I thought it seemed like a really cool car, and because of the great gas mileage and its cargo space/versatility. My Buick only got 17-18 mpg, which isn't flattering for a car its size. So, I enjoy the 25-26 mpg I get with the HHR.
Previously I posted that I gave up one of my favorites ever owned...an Infiniti G35 coupe. And a year later I am putting HHR up for sale because it has been replaced with 01 suburban. I bought a ski boat, sold my old truck, and need something to tow the boat. Can't say I'm going to miss it (the HHR) but gas sticker shock is still there!
I didn't get rid of a vehicle for the SS, but I did get the SS before my vehicle gave up on me!
My Jeep Cherokee (straight 6 w/ 5 spd manual) has 220,000 km, so I am limiting it to winter driving, boat towing and logging road duty only.
