Chevrolet Lumina

While my other cars may come and go, Lumi has been with me for 13 solid years and close to 257,000 miles. Over the time, she has slowed down on the miles she rakes, but her ability to jump on the interstate and cruise has not. Yeah, yeah she is a Dub-body and not one of GM's best, but she has been my long faithful partner.

BMW 330i Performance M Package

It is like the child one never wanted to have, but one ends up loving it because of its adorability. The car fell in my hands by accident despite of not "wanting" it. But it changed my perception of BMWs from expensive cars bought by snobs to a thorough track-bred vehicle. I still think it is an overpriced under equipped machine, but when I pull the 45mph curve at 70 mph, I am not complaining.

Chevrolet HHR SS

HHR SS with red and black interior

GM Performance Turbo upgrade 23 PSI boost

Price paid new much less than sticker. Fully loaded.

13 second quarter miles if you can get the tires to hook up. Top speed stock was 155 MPH upgrade may have around 160 MPH if anyone is dumb enough to try it.

Handling is amazing. I did not really care about HHR's but after I drove this I bought it based on the handling and engine alone. I thought what am I doing but now I am glad I bought it.

MPG is still 25 city and 32 highway on premium.

This car is one of the best kept secrets of GM. I often get told by people they like what I did to my HHR and are shocked to find it came this way and I did not create my own SS. They are even more shocked to find a nearly 300 HP Turbo engine in it.

What is sad I have owned two past SS models a 1968 SS 396 and a 1972 GMC Sprint SP [El Camino SS] and this little HHR is faster than both stock and about the same as my 68 with a cam and intake change. As for stopping and turning the HHR is light years ahead.

The only thing I do hate is the FWD as it just has a hard time hooking up. I have had it break loose at 55 MPH before and it scared me the first time it happened. The power died and I saw a light on the dash and I thought I broke something till I saw it was the Traction control light.

I have noted in this area the prices on these are pretty stable. There were so few and what ones there are left are getting to be high mile and often rode hard and put away wet.

While some may not understand the SS you really need to drive one to get why is was an SS.

Lap time was at the Ring was a mid 8 min run and was a record for a small FWD wagon. It was as fast as some early NSX models and other sports cars.

Chevrolet Malibu

2LT trim w/V6 Package. My daily driver. It's no performance car, but it's got a good motor and it drives very well. It's lightly modded and runs low/mid 14s.

Bottom line is it's paid off and it suits my needs. Can't complain.
