And there you have it

So, following that logic... the H3 is hideous to the power of 3 (gawd that thing is ugly). They should have just stopped with the original, can't beat military gear built for the civilian world.

My oldest Brother is a HUGE Dale Jr. fan and me and one of my other Brothers like Jimmie. We have a family fantasy league and oh yeah, the trash talking has been heated. Me, I just like watching racing, it has been a part of our family for many years. Here are some photo's of my Dad, back in the day in the 50's racing The Montana/North Dakota circuit - Old School Racing at it's finest! You are truely missed Pa!
I apologize if I posted these before, but I never get tired of them. I also finally got some race footage transfered from 8mm to digital, so hopefully I can post some vids soon.

Cool, man- I dubbed mine "Hispanic Hot Rod"; also seen a picture of a guy standing behind his HHR with a special emblem that says "Hawaiian Hot Rod". I think there'll be several versions in the years to come for what HHR stands for.
