Ordered an SS today
Sounds funny to me to say SS cuz my friends SS's are Camaros! (stinkin chevy guys 
)
Anyway I'll make a long story short, at a friends suggestion I drove an HHR and liked it. Love the Malibu but no hatch so the HHR wins. I couldn't decide between stick and auto so I went to a dealer that had a 1LT MN5 in stock, Drove it an decided that's what I want.
Don't really care for the dealer or the stupid saleslady.....but she could have been worse. She says, hang on a minute while talke with the manager. (oh great, I hate this part). Turns out they have an allocation for an HHR that goes in Tuesday. They said they would change it to my specs !?!
Mmmmm ok.....I get first refusal off the ruck. WTF, why not right? No price yet but I'm going to pit 2 dealers against each other. Don't know if I'll lease or buy yet. I'm leaving a love hate relation with an 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee. (got a pic somewhere of it) Love the 4WD (AWD) hate the electrical issues plus a few other minor things plus the 11/16 gas mileage from the Hemi
Yeah I know, big change.
Well, anyway:
Victory Red SS (is there any other color?)
MN5 (sales lady didn't know what an MN5 was? color me a geek)
Limited Slip Dif (she knew what that was)
No roof rails.
Everything else but the smokers package and optional side curtain air bags.
The official order ( so I'm told ) goes in on Tuesday. I really want the Bremo Brakes (found that from reading) but since it's a company car.........I can live without. My Jeep goes away on April 2......so I'm stuck with my baby until I get the SS. (like the punishment aint so bad eh? {see below})
I can't wait for her to show up. The down side is she get's the driveway. My wife get's one half of the garage and my baby takes up the other half.....
Sooooo here's my ride until the HHR shows up. (sorry, gottta do the link thing for suspense
)

You can get it in black, sunburst orange, The flash blue, Silverstone. Look in the ss area of the forum and you will know way more than the sales people.
