Possible solutions to my driving 'problem'. I like style and
functionality, and the HHR and the Flex solve that. Lots of room for Dell
boxes and bass amps an PA systems. The Flex really suits that, the HHR
less so, but adequate....except the base engine and automoatic couldn't
get the damn thing out of it's own way. TRY to find a 172HP with a 5
speed. It's listed as available, but three years ago the only one was in
Colorado.
I also like sports cars, small peppy cars with a fair amount of snot and
handling. THe tC styling fit the styling bill, the hatch and the fold down
seats fit the bass amp and part of the PA system, and the 2.4L engine, 5
speed transmission and the suspension from a Celica fit the sport aspect.
I decided on silver since I didn't like the blue or the red they were
offering, and when I got to the dealer the car was sitting on the lot.
Add to that having the first one in my area...and Made in Japan to boot.
