Hello from southern Virginia

Hi All,
Really looking forward to my red '08 HHR SS arriving next week. It's the basic SS, with a limited slip differential, but no performance package or Pioneer sound system. I'm thinking that adding a catch can might be a good idea; otherwise, the plan is to leave it stock.

We'll see how that goes...

I'll post pictures once it is delivered. The process of buying a car out of state is taking a bit longer than I thought it would.
I expect it will be worth the wait, though.

Welcome to the group. You will love the HHR it is a fun car to drive.
FYI the drivers side has a big blind spot so you need to turn your head for the best view, but easy to get used to, and if your tall like me you do have to bend a bit to look at the stop light lol
Other then that it is a great car,
Also I would check the air filter and the Cabin Air Filer after you get it !
Best of luck and looking for the pictures

Thanks! Just got a call from the transport company. It will be here in an hour!

I'm ordering Delco oil filters from Rock Auto, which appear to be the same for all engines. The air filter for the SS is different than the other models, it seems. Haven't been able to find a cabin air filter as of yet.

And, as promised, pics. I loaded these in another thread, but thought I’d do so here, as well. I’ll take more in the next day or two.
