Sold my '39 Chevy streetrod after 40 years of ownership. Had to replace it with another "toy", picked up this one in Las Vegas, and spent 5 days driving in back home to No. Carolina.
A short story about the SSR, if I may:
It was 2006 and I wanted one bad! My wife, being the wonderful woman she is, thought she would surprise me for my birthday. Well, she went to the dealership and explained to the salesman about this great new car I wanted and all she could remember was it was " something, something R". The salesman knew right away what New car she was talking about. As luck would have it, they had a Black one in stock. She bought it and hid it in the neighbors garage until the day of the big reveal. To this day she talks about the "look on my face" when I saw it. And to this day I have Never told her that it was the wrong thing or how much I Hated driving that stupid HHR. I had to keep it to myself. She would have been crushed if I told her. She thought she was doing the best thing in the world and it was a huge mistake.
