good news to my husband and people who care about random junk like this EVERYWHERE!

i came across this article today during my lunch break. some of you may remember that a few months ago mike's poor little car was totaled. during the interim period between cars, the insurance of the guy who hit mike paid for him to have a rental car. it was an hhr. i think the picture speaks for itself and mike's feelings towards it.




i drove it a few times and i have to admit, not only is it hideous on the outside but it is a BEAST to drive...for so many reasons.

anyway, here's to you chevy hhr. you are an abomination.

don't come back.

Cars Being Retired in 2012

Once upon a time Chrysler took a boring small car (the Neon), grafted a body that recalled 1930s-era roadsters on top of it and created the PT Cruiser. Seeing Chrysler's initial success, GM copied Chrysler's play step by step — hiring the PT Cruiser's designer to draw a body meant to evoke the 1930s-era Suburbans and using the chassis of the compact Cobalt sedan. Imitation may be flattery at its most sincere, but GM didn't copy Chrysler's sales; the HHR was big and cheap but thirsty, and like the PT never received enough updates to stay current — although the supercharged SS version ranks as one of the best modern sleepers available.
