What does HHR mean?

Am I the only one who thinks that Chevy could have come up with a better name than HHR? MY wife tells people who ask this question that it means "Health and Human Resources"

Others have asked if it has a V8 or a V6. I tell them, "No, it has a 4 cylinder engine - it only looks fast, but it gets good mileage". (Hopefully next year the HHR will come up with some high power to compete with the PT Turbo and the Dodge Caliber).

 

HHR means Heritage High Roof... FOR THE WIN!

 

"That's a Black, shiny Car!" I respond, "Really, I could have sworn it was sea foam mist?" That is what I hear most, and "Did those rims come stock with car?" and the last one is "Do they all come with Blonde Seat Covers like yours?" hmmmm I wonder where they got that from????



D'OH! Yeah, Lady Fenrir is my best accessory...

 

Well, I can say (and others can vouch) that I had NO PROBLEM keeping pace with the pace car and/or the person in 1st at the races at Bristol that we participated in. I was competing against camaros, other sedans and sports cars with a lot bigger engines and on the short track like that, I had NO problem.

 

People usually ask what do I have under the hood? It's not a loud engine. Plus they think its a faster car then a 4 cyl

 

The question I am asked most often is if it is the new PT Cruiser. I just point out the huge Chevy emblem on the front or back, depending on where I am when the question is asked.

 

One particularly hot afternoon I was coming out of Walmart and since we are not smoking in the car I hit the remote start to let it start cooling off while we finised our cigarettes. A lady parked nearby got out of her car and came over and asked if I had just started it from outside, I told her yes and then she asked what the official name of the color was. I told her sunburst orange II, she asked a few other questions one might ask if looking for a car. She thanked me and left me with the impression that she was going to be at a Chevy dealer VERY soon looking for one herself.
I've had more than a few complete head turning looks from middle aged men on motorcycles, a few I thought might wreck looking at it.

 

Yesterday I was in the parking lot at Baskin Robbins eating an ice cream cone. A guy walks up and says, "Man, that looks a lot better than the old ones." I respond, "Old what?" He responds, "That's the new PT Cruiser, right?" I just chuckled and told him that it was a Chevy HHR. He said he loved it and walked away, looking back several times.

 

Same here, I've been asked a dozen times...so when did the new PT go on sale? I dont even try to explain that its a chevrolet anymore. Is it really that hard to see the bowtie?

 

1.)Is that a little Hearse? (Why yes, the only thing it's missing is a casket, that metal swirly thing on the side windows, some purple flashing lights, a police escort, and "Bliley's Funeral Home" on the side windows.

compared to:

You decide.

2.)Is that the new PT Cruiser?

(Are you blind or are you stupid, because I cant fix stupid.)

3.)When did the new PT Cruiser come out? (see above)

Hey buddy, Are you deaf or are you dumb?
