New to the HHR SS family

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd drop in since the HHR SS family seems to be pretty small to start with.

Just added a black 2009 HHR SS to the stable for daily driving!

stock, one owner car
31k miles
black interior
5-speed
G85 - LSD & Brembos

Had a 2011 LS that's now in car heaven and loved the HHR so I had to get another. Makes a great practical car and tow vehicle for my superjet, though now I need to paint my trailer black

Welcome to the SS side of the family.

A little warning: Those Brembos will throw out a ton of brake dust. Seems like I'm always cleaning the rims/tires.

Welcome. You planning on cutting the bumper for the hitch?

Thanks for the tip!

GMS1 might be in order, although I think I'd sooner put an exhaust on the ski, the real toy SS is in the garage waiting for spring

I've only ever seen one or two others driving around locally. This things are definitely few and far between

I think so, on a black car, black hitch, I think it'll hardly be noticable, and I plan to keep the car so seems that's the cleanest way to do it.
