New from Texas
Hello. I have just purchased a 2011 HHR with 35,000 miles, since GM are not going to make this model any longer I am hoping to keep and maintain this vehicle for many years then pass it to a grand son. I am 81 years old and ride a recumbent trike that fits in the HHR with the back seats down perfect, just roll in close rear hatch and go. I am glad to be a member and I look forward to reading your suggestions, comments and recommendations on the HHR. Thank you.
to the forum bhopper1, and congrats on your new ride!

Welcome bhopper! Enjoy that ride!
On your 2 wheeler are the peddles located fore or aft of the front wheel?
Your must be like my step dad (a little younger than you -80yo). He goes to the gym & swims, lifts weights, & does the tread mill. You gotta have some back/chest strength to put that bike constantly in the back... With your biking I am sure your legs beat out his "chicken legs" as I call them. (One day he is gonna beat my a--! for saying that.
Thats how I got my 1st car-from grandpa. Made me find a Susan B Anthony coin to pay for it back in '83. Was a '78 Bonneville. Great car till someone stole it, would still have it today if that didn't happen.. A look a like picture is below with same exterior (I had brown metallic vinyl roof) & interior colors....One day I'll scan the real pictures to post.
His daughter (my Mom) had received his '71 Bonneville with a Caddy 500ci when he bought the 78. He loved his Bonneville's.
