People are so gullible. Yeah try it like the ding king that volcanoes dents, pulls paint or leaves the crown. It's funny how people can be so picky about there cars and do something themselves thats halfa#$ed because they are too cheap to pay $75 to have a dent pulled right. DRY ICE= etches paint. CO2 only works where dents would pop anyway (95% don't) and then leave the crown around the dent.

That`s ok. I`m gonna try it anyway, and give before and after pix.
Now that my new SS TURBOCHARGED HHR is on the way, I`m floating on co2.

Yes I did, I`ve convinced myself, and (the formerly Mrs. B/B, now Mrs. S/S) that I`m gonna trade the Beautiful one in for a S/S when they`re released(un-leashed)...

Cool BB. I was wondering whether you were trading or were going to become a 2 HHR household.

I'm not trading, but I will definitely be buying the bumpers and ground effects!

Trading, can`t afford Two car payments, extending this one anew, is gonna be bad enough.
Went to my dealer today for an oil change, they didn`t have the new brochure, so I told them to put me on the mailing list to receive one when they do get them.
They did have (1) white panel, on the lot, can`t say I was too impressed, but I can say I wouldn`t trade for one.
But, I did do the dent experiment.... No change, not to say it wouldn`t work, just saying it didn`t work for me...
My dent is on a body line, and I`ve used a dent-king on it already, put those two factors into the equation, no change. BUT... it does seem like it may work on different panel areas, and it didn`t damage the area paint wise, and the 3M dust remover stuff only cost $4.00 at Wal-Mart.
I say, try it on another area (someone) and see if you get a better result.

BB, you dog. You're getting an SS... One turbo isn't enough, eh?

Man once you drive a TURBO, that`s what you want forever...
And if Mrs. B/B, er, Mrs. S/S, lets me trade her automatic in for a stick,(which is the only downside), I will have two TURBOs.
I haven`t driven a stick in 20yrs.

I look for the SS to be pushing 230+ hp hopefully 250+. But they'll likely keep it below the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky high-po versions. They never upstage their higher tier vehicles. It will also likely have a limited slip transaxle as well, which should help with those Chicago region winters
