Whats your HHR's Name??
Orange Crate was an outstanding drag car in the 60's.
One of "75 Most Significant '32 Fords" in history according to Rod and Custom magazine. The original owner of the car was from my hometown, Portland, Oregon. I actually watched that car race at the Farigrounds in Pomona, Ca. back in the 60s. But it was really more of a show car.

Back to the script, we've called ours simply "the HHR", but as of Christmas, my teenagers have redubbed it "Rodney" for some reason. They often say it looks like a hearse (mine's black), but I don't know if it has any relevance. My wife and I are still trying to get to the bottom of it.



So my HHR became: Her Highness' Ride.
