Here is Shagy my 2006 HHR daily driver that has 62000+ miles on it. Bought on 10-1-05 with just about everything modified on it except the headliner and some interior panels.

Shagy is a memorial to my son Sean whose nickname was Shagy (with 1 g) like Shagy from Scooby Doo. He looked like him and his classic rock band gave him the name. He died at age 16.5 in a fluke accident.
We used to go riding and look at car shows and Sean would have loved my HHR and the sound system i have.
