It was two years ago that we got the HHR. I can’t say I regret buying it. It’s a decent vehicle at a good price, but when it comes time to swap out to a new vehicle I’m certainly in a place where I’d like something a little more upscale and sportier…and maybe a sexy black color. But being as the wife has swap privledges WAY before I do, I should just forget about that for now.
In two years I put 17,180 miles on it – which is a bit lower than the standard 1000 miles per month thing that seems to get thrown about a lot.
But that includes amusement park trips. If we had used the Nissan for those drives I’d be under 12,000. (yes, we’ve driven over 5000 miles to amusement parks in the past two years…even sicker considering the only 2009 trip drives have been a handful of jaunts to Kings Island)
And this is more of a stretch, but if I also knocked off the 5 drives back home, I get a number that’s under 9,000.
Meh, whatever. I could rationalize it down to zero if I had to.
The point is, I’ve had the HHR for two years now. At this point, I’m pleased with my purchase.
(and yes, I said, “jaunts” – fuck you for noticing)
