The HHR SS took the hit and provided the passenger safety necessary to allow my wife and I to walk away with only some discomfort and soreness that was not and has not become an issue. Unfortunately my little "hot rod" sustained significate damage and has been listed as a "total loss" by our insurance adjuster. It's off to the salvage yard this morning on a flatbed. Was a fun car that came through with a excellent margin of safety when called upon.
