SSR = Super Sport Roadster (mimicking auto styles from 1947 thru 1952)

And there you have it
But car names don't usually describe their physical appearance. If so, then Scions should be called 'Ugly Shoe Box', Malibu Maxx should be called 'Hideous', etc.

Hideous is reserved for Hummer.

H2=Hideous squared!

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.

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.
