2003 Mustang 19k miles, 5 speed. Beautiful car, but always seemed to be missing something with the paint, stone chips all over. Not worth repainting it, so figure should get out of it now.

'05 Bugatti Veyron:



I tired of stooping to get in every time, it had too many miles, and I got bored with it.

When I traded in my 2002 the front fascia was completely blasted.

I bought mine as an impulse buy. It was a welcome back to the states present for myself after two back-to-back year long tours in Iraq. I later sold my '97 S-10 to my friend's kid for his first vehicle.

I got out of my 1999 Chevy Astro (98,000 miles). It is still running great, but only getting 14 -19mpg. Loaded family vacation vehicle. This was a $26,000 astro, and is great for kids on long trips, and for general use around town. Able to haul lots of things in it. But, the Astro had to go, driving too many miles, not able to pass too many Gas Stations now @$2.50 a gallon..and it has a 25 gallon tank. The wife drives a 2003 Impala LS RED(78,000 miles), and wants my HHR. My Daughter drives a 1996 Monte Carlo LS RED (220,00 miles) Yea really, and also wants the HHR. The HHR doesn't have the room of the Astro, already took a week long trip, not much room for luggage, but it wasn't the Astro, soo...The 2.4 has a little pep, but isn't a 6 cyclinder, definately not a V-8... but the gas mileage is lots better, feast or famine. Soo, have to see how the HHR stacks up against the Astro for hauling cargo, and people. The HHR does have the best attention getting stance of anything around though. The little thing is fun to drive. I have the 2LT, automatic, F3 suspension, Leather interior, sunroof, XM radio, all the nice goodies, but not the roof rack. Oh it's the Dark Silver with sun roof too....thinking about a vanity plate, "MID-LIFE CRISIS", or something simular.

A light green 99 Malibu with the quad4. Nothing special but a good car. Like my HHR much better. Looks much better and not 2 million of them running around. (or something that kinda looks the same) But the boo got good gas mileage, after 120,000 miles it was getting tired.
