HHR

Yesterday morning we made the journey to Prescott, Wisconsin to pick up my HHR. We got to visit the fine folks at Cernohous Chevrolet, and they were very nice and helpful. I LOVE my HHR. The name stands for "Heritage High Roof" and the designed is supposed to look like Chevy's trucks in the 1940s. Love it.

It handles and very nicely, and is a super comfortable ride. XM stereo is my new favorite thing in the world. It was like Christmas morning when I saw five different Big Ten stations and was able to listen to both the Wisconsin football game and the Minnesota football game. I can't wait for my next big trip when I will have so many sports choices. I haven't set the Onstar up yet, but will do so this week. I can set it up so that it uses my Verizon cell phone minutes, so that's pretty sweet.

So yeah, I'm a happy new car owner.

Picking up your car in Wisconsin has some benefits. Namely, it affords you the chance to purchase New Glarus beers that you can't find here in the Twin Cities. Spotted Cow, how I have missed you! We also picked up some Yokel for the first time, and it's great. I think we will be making more east-of-the-border beer runs in the future. Between our New Glarus and the Fat Tire my parents supply us with, we don't have much on hand for beers you can purchase in Minnesota at the moment.

Last night we headed over to Mike and Aimee's for some grilling goodness, even though it was rainy. We enjoyed the ambiance of their garage and got to meet their new puppy Zoey for the first time. So cute! It was lots of fun. Thanks for the hospitality, guys!
