For starters I got the LNF turbo upgrade (Stage 1) last week (an early Christmas present from my wife). I had the install done at Royal Chevrolet in Bridgewater, NJ (ask for Steve if you're interested in having it installed there). All I have to say about that is DAMN! I didn't think it was possible to love this car more than I already did...I had a chipped 1.8T New Beetle and a 2.4L 220 HP PT Cruiser GT, and they were quick...but THIS car, post-upgrade...WOW! Everyone who's been in my SS this past week can't believe they're in an HHR.

Now the second one: as some here know (and have experienced), some Victory Reds have darker front doors...it IS noticable once you see it. My dealer has been extremely understanding and accomodating in dealing with this, and this Friday I drop it off while I'm on vacation. I'm happy that they're willing to take care of it, but I'm a little nervous about it too...wish me luck.

HHR SS...power and gas mileage in a beautiful package and at a great price? Who would've thought...
