New HHR owner, Saying hello!

Just wanted to post my first post and say hello. i have been waiting to get my HHR for a some months now because my wife "produced" are second child it was a waiting process.lol anyways i just purchased my new found glory. a 2007 Dark Silver Metallic HHR 2LT pretty loaded. and GAWD does she drive great! i had to let the wife drive her a bit today as well. she was very hectic in the beginning because she wanted a magnum. i only wanted a HEMI version but they were to pricey well for any dealer around chicago anyways. so she test drove the HHR "dark silver metalic with the polished rims" got out and said this will be mine i said YOU IS CRAZY! lol anyways i hope i can learn and meet some others locally. i am tryn to gather up info on these as i have already visited chevrolet.com and other sites, maybe someone can direct me to some better places to find out more about the options i do have.

I'll have to take some pics to post up soon.

Welcome. I've been selling Chevrolet cars for over 3 years. Give me the last 8 of your HHR's VIN and I'll tell you all about your car.

I'll be at work tomorrow afternoon. Hope you can wait that long. There are a couple of others that have access to the GM database that will probably beat me to your question by tomorrow morning.

Welcome to the forum! And congratulations on the new additions to your family too! I bought my "baby" last summer, and the idea was going to be that hubby would get to drive it to work and save gas from using the Expedition. WRONGGGGG.... I loved it so much that I ended up telling him to go get his own cool car.

The funny thing is, HE ended up with the Magnum (a demo, a great deal - like you got) and now we have met so many people with an HHR/Magnum duo in their household. So... never say never... P.S., we didn't get the HEMI.
