When things go bad

ok i'm not griping here!!!!!

but when thing go bad it seems like it's never gona stop.

busimess has really sucked for almost three years. takes me a week to make what a days work in 07 . got sick in feb(stroke) all of 09 was the pitts, no golf no driving really poor....


but wait it gets better .... early march the phone rings off the hook with orders (not enough to rehire all my x employees but enough to stop watchiung walls. then i find this car. thing get 30 miles to the gal. looks and drive great and was a steal. the old 05 chrysler had 213.000 miles got 20 to the gal. was no fun to drive

this hhr really boosted my outlook on life it's a 4 cyc but performs better than the old pacifica, plus it's a dealer custom paint, striping, wheels tires and yes suspension thing handles like an 80 corvette

no down side payment is less insurance is less and i can't wait to drive it all it needs is duel exhaust and i'm good to hit the sales road!!!!

here's a few pics startin to feel like a surfer dude

Glad that things seem to be looking up for you. Rough times can be a blessing though as they make us appreciate all the more the many wonderful things in our lives. I wish you the best of luck going forward and the HHR looks awesome.

with those wheels and color the thing will fit right in, in the ghetto. Get a hydraulic suspension and slam it, put some furry dice and your good to go

seriously, looks nice. I like the retro look a lot of cars are coming with these days.

Actually I think some furry dice would look pretty cool on it! Not driven in an HHR but I drove in the little Chrysler box thing - me no like. I also drove one of those "Cube" things with the hair patch on the dash - that had come unglued in the Florida sun. I think the HHR looks way better and no way could it handle worse!

as you can tell from the ribbon tires it's had a little work cal customs did the work for a chevy dealer, the thing really handels pretty good and for off the line it's way faster than my tt and thats the last untruth i'll ever tell.....but the little 4 banger is quite surprising

The chrysler was based off the neon chassis I think. Good looking design not very stiff however. this one is better, but the chrysler also had nice looks to work with

Steve, I had one for a rental car for a couple of days. It's pretty impressive for what it is. It'll never make you want to give up the turbo, but for a utility vehicle it's pretty decent.

land if i rember correctly you car is from el dorado hills and mine from maryland .

so far am very impressed with the hhr... for a 4 banger it halls bannas . my feeling that it would be unsafe are untrue it will get into traffic and the upgrade suspenision and wheels tyres . make the handleing great>>>it 's auto cross time (well maybe not)

the car brings me back to santa cruz in the 60s yep i'm that old . a easn't a surfer dude but feel that way now (needed a youth pill)

Nice daily Steve,
Hope your health is well. I was off for 15 months and (2) Porsches went down the
road in the process. The hunt will be fun when we bounce back though !
