No, that was supper.
Get the flip up lenses like that cool guy in the Cosby Show spinoff!If I wanted what worked best and didn't care how I looked, I'd get polarized clip-ons

That's backwards. That's somebody "doing something because he thinks it makes him look cool," not "not giving a shit about something that doesn't look cool."
He's not wearing who he is as armor, he's pretending to be someone else. And that's the root of why it's so cringey.
I used those too.If I wanted what worked best and didn't care how I looked, I'd get polarized clip-ons
HEY now. The HHR isn't that bad. You get used to the large A-pillars.

There is a small pupper in the neighborhood that knows how to stand in the shade of my A-pillars.
I am just about 2 inches too short to just stick my head out of the sun roof.

I love my sunglasses. I keep a single pair for years, even cheap ones. I had Gargoyles for a long time, lifetime warranty paid off greatly, had them replaced at least 5 times. Lost them in a move while in the military, paid like $120 for 'em. Used some cheap things for a few years, 'cause I didn't have any money (ya know, military) and after I got out found a polarized pair that worked great until they finally came apart. Cheap glasses for another couple of years, and broke down and bought a pair of Polarized Oakley's that I've had for almost 3 years now. My eyes are fairly light sensitive, so I make sure I have my sunglasses at hand at all times.
Just means you'll be a survivor then.
No, HHRs suck. Full stop.
Gutless, blocky, shimmy-prone buckets of bolts, all of 'em.

I mean, jump to 2:10 in that video and look at the POV drive. That is not a fisheye lens. You really can't see the feckin sky through the windshield of an HHR (or the stoplight, if you're first in line). But you know what you do see? Tons and tons of overlapping faux-vintage plastic-that-looks-like-metal gauges and whatnot.
Bleck.
Bleck.
Yeah. I remember when I used to think the Dodge Magnum looked real badass, too...until I sat in one. You can't see anything that isn't right in front of you or exactly perpendicular to the driver's seat, and trying to see traffic in the rear-view mirror is like watching a YouTube video that someone has filmed on their phone in portrait mode.

That is a fisheye lens. He's got the camera on the back coat hook.
I'm not saying the HHR is a great car. It's tolerable. It's got issues (hello, ignition lock!). I hate the brakes. For a daily driver it's usable. But damn boy, you treat it like it's the worst car in the known universe.

HEY now. Just because I've owned a PT Cruiser, a Dodge Dakota, two Ford Escorts and a Renault Encore...
...okay, I see your point.
I have an eight year old HHR that I bought new. (Hard to believe that I have been on this board that long.) It rattles a little, the ignition did fail once, I accidentally ripped the shade out of the sun roof... besides that, dependable. And I have the mid-level engine, and it is pretty damned quick.

That's like, my ideal. I might not give it back at the end of the week. I might skip town.
If I ever win the Powerball, I'm buying a mansion in Texas and one someplace cool in the summer...
