maintenance? no, but it does show a bit of extra paint wear on the front.

so, you would think I was "ghey" -- whatever that means -- if I got a HHR and got some custom paint detailing? Like . . a white one with black stripes (and/or a black nose guard) or something?

Just dreaming. I think it could look pretty cool, frankly.

Well then here's what you do: get your new car, and drive it around bra-less for about ten years (show off the knockers while you got 'em, knowhatI'msaying?) When the extra paint wear eventually shows up, then put a car bra on it to cover it up--and the bonus is it won't look all douchebaggy at that point, because putting it on a 10-year-old car will be all postmodern and ironic.

Aww no...I just see some really bad paint jobs sometimes. I have to look twice to determine if the car is scraped. It's like a bad tattoo that looks like someone kicked someone in the calf.

And YOU wouldn't be Teh Ghey...the car would.

That sounds like a lovely combo you're talking about.

If I had to spend my own money for a brand new (realistic) car, I'd have to look hard at the Mazda 3. Wagon.

Or a 2010 Honda Shadow Phantom. Brand new? 8 grand. $8,000. Pretty damn smooth for a ricer.

The Mazda 3 wagon and Mazdaspeed3, as well as the Mazda5, are all on my look list.

of which there are NONE in my town or within 75 miles. I'm kinda out in the boonies. Makes it kind of hard to evaluate and obtain.

Cloud, I'm in Minnesota this week on business. We have an HHR as our rental car. I'll give you my opinion of it at the end of the trip. (Unfortunately I'm not the driver so I don't know if that will be worth much.)
