Well, NHV is a new one to me, so rather than embarass myself here, I figger'd I'd Google it...
Rank Abbr. Meaning
NHV Nordiska Högskolan för Folkhälsovetenskap (Swedish: Nordic School of Public Health)
NHV Nederlands Handbal Verbond (Dutch: Netherlands Handball Association)
NHV Noordzee Helikopters Vlaanderen (Dutch; Belgian helicopter transport company)
NHV Norddeutscher Handball Verband
NHV New Hungarian Voice (Vancouver Hungarian paper)
NHV Normal Healthy Volunteer (clinical trials)
NHV Nurse Home Visitor
NHV Normal Heat Value
NHV Net Heat Value (biomass)
NHV New Haven (Amtrak station code; New Haven, CT)
Yeah, not terribly helpful. Adding "steering" and scrolling down a few hits and I discovered Noise, Harshness, and Vibration. Personally I was hoping for Normal Healthy Volunteer!

Sorry - Noise, Harshness & Vibration. The nemesis of many automotive designers/engineers. I've got one of those flat-crank, Voodoo powered Mustangs with an 8250 rpm red line. Apparently Ford spent a ton of money for NHV measures on it since it tends to have a vibration issues due to the crank and firing order. Jeez - they even require that the oil filter be torqued to 16 - 18 lb-ft since they have had some of them come off.

Dan,
No problem and thanks for elaborating. I still prefer "Normal Healthy Volunteer".
It's in my DNA. My first personal cars were (vintage) Porsche, Alfa, and SAAB. It never occurred to me to build a Hot Rod - or even an Austin Healey. (No offense to classic British car owners. ) *E-Types (and Jag sedans) were the exception, almost going too far in the other direction.

I bought a new 1980 Turbo SAAB way back then. They were built like a tank compared to late 70s early 80s American cars. Turbo was a bit weak in town but on the highway it was in it's element. The key down on the floor was always a conversational piece.
I was living in SE Kansas at the time in a small town and they had annual vehicle inspections so I took it in to a gas station. After awhile the mechanic sauntered in and said one of the things he had to check off on his inspection list was the condition of the fan belt. He said I know it has to have one but I don't see it. I asked him if he had looked back by the firewall. He got a big kick out of that backwards engine and transaxle.
Can't say I've had a SAAB but have had a few old Volvos...I definitely enjoy the old Porsches though. Another vintage car that is capable of modern touring.
My current garage as of a few days ago (the blue car is on it's way out soon... I hope!)
