Thanks for all the help and opinions....
I picked this up yesterday:
2006, manual LT with a lot of options. Front/side airbags, ABS, power seat w/ lumbar support, pioneer stereo, extra chrome package, running boards, roof rails, much nicer grill, alloy wheels. Only 13k miles. I was looking at new with all the incentives that chevy's doing, but this was more optioned and I was demanding SOM in a manual which was proving hard to find in the 08s. Steve found this on ebay, and we went right to the dealer. We talked them down from 13,9 to 11,990 so I'm pretty happy. 
So far, its awesome. I've gotten 26 mpg around town which is all hilly, cant wait for the first long trip with it. I really didn't like these when you guys suggested it, but after I test drove the first one I was hooked.
EDIT: Obviously there was no tripod involved in the pictures. I took them purely to take pictures, not for a "photo shoot"

Ahhhhh man...I love the HHR. And with the running boards, it looks better.
I wish they made the 2.4 with teh manual trans, more power and fun to drive.
Good stuff sis...good stuff. If there was an HHR available in 2004, I would have gotten that over the Maxx for sure.

VERY nice color. Looks great with the custom grill and stuff. Hard to find with extras since most people will not spend the money if they are going to trade it in soon. Now get some 35% tint all around(20% on the rear) and really set it off.

It is a 2.4 Manual!!! Oh man, thats awesome!! Not the same gas milage as the 2.2, but 170hp should be plenty potent.

Very nice! I use to hate the HHR when it first came out, but it's really grown on me in the last year.
