Hey folks,

I just wanted to say hello and take the time to introduce myself. My name is Rick, I'm from Atlantic County, and I just bought my new-to-me '07 HHR 2LT in white with the 2.4 and in stick from Hawthorne Chevrolet about 12 hours ago. They were nice enough to come to me both times; once when I checked the car out and the second when I signed the papers. They're up at Exit 160 off the GSP and I'm at 40 so that helped me out a lot.

It's with mixed emotions that I join this group as I had to part with my previous car to get this one. I sold it before its time as I was looking to lower my monthly payments to help offset a mortgage that I'll be soon undertaking. My car was a 2008 polar white Sky Redline, also in a stick, with the GM Performance Parts Turbo Upgrade Kit.

Ahh, c'est la vie! Nonetheless I'm still looking forward to spending many-o-years with my HHR! I love that cyan backlit interior, the kickn' sound system, the heated seats, removing a part of my roof with just a push of a button, the wonderfully executed design of retro & modern and last but not least having more than 5.5cu.ft. of trunk space!

Again, hello and thank you for having me here. I look forward to getting to know some of ya folks!

 

And to the HHR Familia!
You will love this car and all the great folks on here.

And we like pix!

Welcome, from sunny FLA........

 

to the site!!! I understand how you feel about moving from the Sky to the HHR. A couple of years ago when I lost my job I decided to do the same thing and traded in my Crossfire for a black HHR 1LT. I definitely missed the looks of the Crossfire but the HHR got around much better in the snow and had the capacity for cargo.

 

Hey, welcome! Man, that Sky was bad to the bone. That would be a tough one to get over. Just curious: did you post to any kind of "sky" forum?

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to our hangout Rick, from a former S. Jersey resident. I'm from Indian Mills originally, just north of Hammonton, off 206. I'm feeling for ya having to give up the Sky, but at least it was for a good reason.

 

I only have dinky cellphone pictures at this time. I'll have some real shots of my car within a couple of days I'm sure!

Yea I'm definitely loving the conveniences and practicalities of this car but 290hp and 340ft-lbs does have a way of spoiling people too, haha. Oddly enough I'm not missing the car as much as I thought I would though believe it or not. It must be because I moved into a car worth just as much devotion and praise as the last one

Yessir. I posted on a Sky forum as well as an S2000 forum as I have a couple of buddies with them and I often rendezvoused with that group for a little mischief. Before that, I had an NB (2nd Gen) Miata and I posted on a Miata forum then as well.

Thanks and congratulations on winning Car of the Month, your car looks spectacular!

Oh awesome; it's neat to meet people from around the area even if they're not anymore! I have family in Browns Mills and East Hampton (right next to Mount Holly) so I'm kind of familiar with the area.


And to everyone else thank you very much for welcoming me! I'm already quite impressed with the character of the folks on here.
