"SSEi" throws people off.
4 letter acronyms are a bad idea.
I've had 3 different people who dont even know eachother refer to my car as an SSI
probably lounge material soon, but we'll start off in general since bonneville related. lets keep it on topic.
I've also had people try to prounce SSEi "Sissss-eeee-ih" or "Sissy"

My old '94 was called a EESi Turbocharged by some fat guy at the Home Depot. I agree with Matt though, if someone even calls my Bonne a Grand Am, I will knock their teeth out.

I've had a few walk by and not even see the SSEi ... they walk by and pointed while saying to each other "Supercharged?" (looks of awe that a granny car would have such an emblem).
Another guy at a light hollers over "Is that really supercharged?". Best I could do was smile and say "Yep..and cammed too" He nearly crapped himself.. it was hilarious.

We went to show Ryan'* dad our new car on Sunday and he called it an SSI. It'* funny that this subject was brought up b/c until that day I had never heard anyone get it wrong. The worst part is that he said wrong less than five minutes after he looked at the car and pointed out the emblem.
