Just bought an HHR
Honestly, didn't think I'd care for it, but my dad's friend was selling an old service vehicle, and he wrecked his truck. I told him to buy the HHR and use until he could find a truck, then I would buy the HHR from him. This all happened, but once I got into the HHR and drove it I was shocked that I loved it.
I don't need the locking storage boxes and extra space, so eventually I'll buy a rear bench and windowed doors for it.
Might do a couple other mods as I have time and money, but I really enjoy driving it as-is!

It's a 2008, but I don't know how to tell what version it is... I heard that's coded into the VIN somehow, but haven't looked it up.
PS: Just caught that Glock 19 part, and I would advise using a proper holster :P
Seriously though, good choice.

Welcome!
To start, there is an LS, LT or SS on the rear hatch from the factory.
If "VVT" is on the valve cover it's a 2.4L or (2.0L, if it has a turbo). The 2008 2.2L was not a VVT.
Here is a VIN decoder, for some reason GM won't admit to 2008 Chevy trucks which the HHR is in GM CAFE classification, but the positions and codes are the same.
