An HHR as a 53 Buick

Update on the 2004 hemi Dodge that I love. Maybe it's just me and a few thousand others, but I've discovered the peppy good running hemi engine in many 2003-2004 Dodges is a piece of crap waiting to blow up. At around 80,000 spent over $2000 and still had warning light and fast idle issues. Using the advice of others I sold the truck that I still love. Just didn't want to chance the engine from all the comments we've read.
Possibly it would have gone another 200,000 miles or two miles.
As for the woody HHR and PT Cruiser, I still see both of these as woodys around our little town. Both of these are driven buy older people and have other added accsesories like fender skirts and windshield visor.
Both are sort of cute and make me smile. However even before the Pimpmobile craze came out they also remind me of those JC Whitney glue-on everything in the catalog 50's car pimpmobiles.

 

Hey, my Ranchero's oil pan is a J.C.'s Witless special! Chrome and everything!

 

Fuzzy dice, curb feelers, rear mudflaps.............. You're getting close to having a Pimpmobile.

 

Nope, no fuzzy dice, but I definitely need a set of curb feelers! And by law, I need mudflaps, since both my rigs are classed as trucks.

 

It does look kinda cool. It has a vintage look to it, but I think I prefer the one that Krash posted. This one is a bit over the top. The one that Krash posted is more tastefully done. That one I wouldn't mind owning.
