Hi y'all
I bought a 2009 HHR SS for my birthday last November and I have been lurking here since then. I decided it was time to post. I needed to find a car for work that got better gas mileage than the Titan I was driving. The HHR was a perfect fit it's a great little car. I live in Bedford which is in between Dallas and Fort Worth.

Oh yeah I can go 50-75 miles further on a tank of gas, and that tank is half the capacity of the Titan. I normally advise my customers against this but I love this little car. The only "problem" I have is I have to take my wife's Trailblazer when my daughter and I want to go ride our bikes. My wife doesn't like to drive it so it is kind of a fight to get her keys. That will be fixed when my tax check comes in! As far as hauling goes I do have access to another truck,(the people that used to ask me help move don't know that) so I can have my cake and eat it too so to speak! The biggest reason I bought this one; my dad used to have a '48 Chevy Carryall with a 6" chop and the same shade of bright red, and it was the coolest of the 4 they had on the lot. I wasn't planning on getting the SS but the others just didn't do it for me.
Thanks for the welcome!

I have two pickups that I use when I have the need. I towed a motorcycle to the Indian dealership in Charlotte the other day with my GMC Sierra and cringed at the 17mpg I was getting with Regular being 3.70 here now. Otherwise I take the HHR. My wife also doesn't like to drive the HHR for some reason. She says she has problems seeing when backing. Her daily driver is a S-60 Volvo. As she is a Kiwi, I don't care she buys non-American (not that she would listen to me anyway
).
