I like!

 

But then I'm partial to that color myself.
Did you get the spotter mirrors?
Is it a stick or Auto?
We're chomping at the bit to know all about your new ride.

 

AWESOME........I was wondering what a pinstrip would look like on the aqua.

 

I love the color. Normally not a pinstripe fan, but it does well to break up the flanks. Welcome to the club.

 

Some Deets:
It IS a stick- I test drove an auto and was not impressed. IMHO the stick is a must for the SS! I got this car from a dealer in Elkland, PA off ebay. I was going to get a new one but my local dealer told me there were only about 13 new panel SS's available within 3000 mi of DC! So, after a little searching around I got this one. There are a couple options I don't need, the RPD, for example, I find it distracting (but fun), and I don't know what half the stuff it tells me means- knock retard? camshaft overlap? spark advance?
Also, I would have left off the pinstripe- I prefer a minimalist uncluttered look. I do have the sunroof and the spotter mirrors- good for avoiding those DC cabs and cyclists.
It has the nice stereo too!
I love the looks, the mileage, the performance AND the cargo capacity. This last one is important for me as I play a large musical instrument for a living!
Things in mind for the future:
Bigger, simpler wheels. I am thinking a plain five-spoke type like on the SS shown at the SEMA show. Does anyone know what those wheels are?

A debadge.
Any opinions?

gosh its purdy

 

panels rule look nice

 

Very nice ride! I wish the SS Panel would have been available in 08, but I just could not wait that long once I drove that first SS!

Congrats on the sweet truck, and enjoy!

 

Very sharp looking color ,wish that was available when I bought my 08.

 

Welcome to the HHR familia, nice color and the pinstripe looks good. It breaks up the blue. Enjoy the ride.From SoCal HHRs.
