Why I got my HHR.

I have seen a lot of you mention why you got your HHR's, but I think my story is a little bit different. See, I spent the past few years restoring a 1950 Chevy Panel Truck with my old man. Sort of a well needed father/son bonding experience. Well when I got ready to buy my first house, I sold my half of the truck to him so I could get a down payment. A month ago I was in an accident that detroyed my 2006 Jeep, luckily I walked away with only a few staples in my noggin. But it allowed me to get my HHR. Here are some pics of the ORIGINAL HHR.

Welcome to the site! You guys did a great job restoring the panel, it had to be hard to sell your half. You are going to love the HHR, I just love everything about mine.

My hat's off to you and your dad on the job you did on the 50 panel. welcome to the forums. I'm sure your gonna love your HHR, as you will see most of us here do. It's a great place to get tips and idea's, but by the looks of the 50 your not gonna need a lot. At least in the looks department.
