The story

I bought this HHR (stock) on Oct 11th, 2017. I bought it shortly after my dad passed away. It was a coping thing for me. See, I drive an HHR Panel as my daily driver. My dad really liked it. He'd always say that he wanted a red one, like the one they rented once, while on vacation. He was more use to GMCtrucks and Suburbans to actually fit into an HHR comfortably. But he'd borrow my Panel as often as he could. When I bought my red HHR SS, I immediately started modifying it to my liking. Since it was in honor of my dad, the idea of making it into a GMC was a sure thought. Since I grew up loving the GMC Typhoon and Syclones. I thought why not take it one step further... That's when I decided to create the GMC Hurricane.
