Hi! Crashed in Minnesota

I have always checked out this site but never posted bec the additions I made to my HHR weren't really that spectacular (halo fog lights, black headlight housings, black chrome grill, custom mats, black bowties) But I recently crashed into a sign on the freeway after avoiding a 3 car pile up. I took out 2 out of 6 metal posts damaging the hood, bumper and both fenders and driver door. The tow truck decided to come along and tip my car over accidentally adding to the damage. I have found all my parts needed and I'm going to put her back together myself, just exterior cosmetic damage, and will do my best to post pics of the before and after (once I figure out how to post pics lol) I love the HHR and I'm gonna frankenstein her back together with help of local salvage yards and previous unfortunate HHR owners.

Since it's your first post, a belated to the forum!

Cripes! Your accident sounded bad enough, but then the tow truck rolls it over.

I pulled a photo from your gallery, rotated it, and edited it into your post. That way folks can see what the tow truck operator managed to do, frankly I'd have strangled him on the spot.

Glad you're OK but I'm sure that if you had the choice, you'd have stayed in bed that morning.

Welcome to the site sorry about your hhr but at least you were able to walk away from it. Good luck on your rebuild project this site should be able to help you with info for that.

I'd be seeking damages from that tow truck drivers inability to pull you straight out!
