Why would you want to bring an SSR to an HHR run?

 

If my HHR wasent delivered on time, just before the Solvang run, I was welcomed in my VW bus! Lucky for me, my HHR arrived just in time.
I welcome an HHR owner regardless of what they chose to drive.

 

I work on the same base..

 

It's not that I wouldn't welcome him at such a run (see my smilie above), rather asking that if he already has an HHR, why would he want to drive an SSR to an all HHR run?

Sounds like a reasonable question?

BTW - I recognize him from "thatotherboard" where he used to post regularly.

Welcome!

 

Anyone is welcome no matter what they drive. I think YOU will have more fun if you bring the HHR, although I think other people might enjoy seeing the SSR. I base this on the fact that I drove my wife's Miata on the Fiero run last year and it was not very fun. Partly because the Miata is not near the car a Fiero GT is, but mostly because I was just not part of the group. Of course, I got lots of flack from everyone considering that I am the host of the Run and didn't even bring my car!

Even though the Fiero run that I call the California Coast Run is geared mainly at Fieros, we have had plenty of other cars attend every year. It is for people who like Fieros, whether they own one of not. Last year we had 35 Fieros, our Miata, a Honda Accord, a Cadillac, and a Ford Explorer. This year is shaping up to be the biggest yet even though gas prices are outrageous, and everyone here is invited to that one too...

 

Songman any chance you can update the first page with the exact dates and times... We go to RV rallies all the time and love them. We just got our HHR to tow behind the Motor Home and this would be our first HHR "Run" and doing it without the Motor Home sure would save fuel... LOL

 

It's all about the weather - Sept is a much better month to drop the top on the SSR! Since the valley is 100+ for the next few weeks, I may want to put a few miles on the SSR come Sept! It's just too damn hot for the SSR now.

I'll most likely have at least two passengers - so the HHR will most likely make the drive - BUT, I do want to see a BUNCH of HHR's & I have been know to take a photo or two.

 

Good idea, Lee! I posted this on the front page but will put it here as well for folks who just go straight to the last page. I have Bubba Gump's for lunch but that can be changed since there are those who will be eating there at the other run. Let me know. There are lots of places around Carmel Valley that we have used on the other Coast Run as well.

****UPDATE****
The Coast Run is on! Below is a summary so you won't have to read through all of the pages...

It's always fun to set uo convoys on the way to a Run. Post here for possible convoy information. We'll be leaving Bakersfield about 4PM Friday afternoon. If anyone from the South wants to meet us on I-5, let us know. If North Central folks want to meet at James Dean Memorial, let us know. Other convoys?

 

I plan on meeting you all at Bubba's place. I am looking forward to seeing all the HHRs. I hope these runs don't turn into a runwhatchbrung run.
