    Yeah, it’s the same response I have to seeing it in other places too. Like for example American cars using the “SS” badging for their SuperSpeed variants of popular muscle car models. This goes back to like the sixtees too. Did none of the WW2 vets see an issue with that back then?

      Super Sport, and apparently not since they were the ones buying all of them. Funnily enough, modern video games have been removing the SS badges from the cars, which is kind of dumb at this point, but hey, you can always put them back with decals, I guess.

        My bad on misabbreviating Super Sport, thanks for the correction. You are getting my point though, how did folks who actually fought the SS not feel weird driving a car labelled SS? I know I sure couldn’t without having some mixed feelings.
