The first HHR I test drove (here in Calif.) the salesman pulled it out from the storage lot and sent my wife and I on our way. No forms, no copy of my license, nothing. As we pulled out of th dealer I looked at her and remarked that they did not have our full names, numbers, or any other data...maybe I should have kept on going in that silverstone special.

Oh well. I bought, a dark silver metallic HHR the next day...

Yeah, I guess I look pretty trustworthy. It would turn me off to a dealer down here if they insisted on going with us. Most don't even offer to go.

Well, living in Detroit, most dealers pass on going along for the test drive...fear factor! lol My dealer was totally cool on letting me test drive the HHR. I ultimately ordered mine, but I drove everyone they had on the lot.

:lol: i was considering one of those before i bought my car, they cant get out of their own way

i race my hhr sometimes and i have beat a V8 2006 mustang and many others i love my car and its all stock

I also looked at a Xtra Box before the HHR. Glad I checked out the HHR before going thru with the XB purchase. There was no comparison between the two.

My salesman was great. Let me take a different one home three nights in a row and let me keep one over the weekend! That was the one I ended up buying. He said he wanted me to be sure that I picked the one I was most happy with. In addition, after the purchase he gave me $500 worth of free accessories!

There was one thing I wish I could have gotten. There was a dealer in McKinney Texas that was authorized to extend the factory warranty to 5 years, 100k miles. Some kind of arrangement they had with GM. That would have been sweet but I probably won't put 36k miles on mine in 5 years anyway.

ROTFLMAO! :rof: And then you woke up right? :poke: If you have the 2.4 you have 172 HP and 165 lb. ft. of tq. in a front wheel drive vehicle vs. 300 HP and 320 lb. ft. of tq. in a rear wheel drive vehicle. :roll: I won't even point out the difference if you have the 2.2. :red: I don't care how good of a driver you are there is no way the HHR is going to beat a Mustang GT! ;)

+1

I would not dare to think that my HHR would even come off the line within a car length of my Mustang. Its just not going to happen.

An LX Mustang is a little more believable. The current V6 puts out 210 HP and 240 lb. ft. of tq. plus. The Mustang is a couple of hundred pounds heavier than the HHR also. So if you couple a bad driver in the Mustang with a good driver in the HHR I might believe it but it's still kind of a stretch.

+2 did he know you were racing?:lol:
