Topaz Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 I found this quiz and I thought someone of you would like to try it. You have to ID car tail lights from the 60's- the present. I got 17/35, mostly IDing the 60's and I am not really up on the 2000's cars but for a WOMAN, I think I did fairly well. Try it. http://www.driving.ca/quiz/taillights/quiz.html Quote

Yay for kimmy! I attribute this score to the men in my life who've dragged me to car shows, and to many hours wasted playing Need For Speed computer games. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
Bonam Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 Lol 13/35, shows how much I know about cars. The only ones I got that weren't random guesses were the recent cars. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 I quit at 5/13, and I blame it on not giving a damn and being a bad guesser. Quote

Wilber Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 Tied ya Kimmy, I'm impressed. Got all the old stuff but some of the new ones were a challenge. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
Sir Bandelot Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 I got 17/35, mostly by lucky guesses. Quote

DogOnPorch Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 Oh look! A 1998 Nissan...big deal. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Jack Weber Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 24/35 Some of high end sports cars and imports I did'nt get... The Muscle??? Aced it! Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Jack Weber Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 53/60 on Name That Car... Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
wyly Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 53/60 on Name That Car... I found when I went with the first name that popped into my head(without looking at the options)was always right, when I looked at the options I started 2nd guessing myself and screwed up...

Bonam Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 Who really cares what cars look like after 1975? Lol, those of us who are younger and only went out and started learning about cars in preparation to buy one a few years ago Quote
DogOnPorch Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 Lol, those of us who are younger and only went out and started learning about cars in preparation to buy one a few years ago Heh...when my 1972 Torino...or 1965 Mustang (Coup)...or 1980 Ford F-100 Stepside broke...I could fix it. Then I bought an 1988 Merc Sable...nice car...but good gosh under the hood. Took 16 hours just to replace the #@*&*$ heater core...required removal of electronic dash...drop the steering...remove the seats...not always in that order. Pain. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
DogOnPorch Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 ...and in 1988...electronic dash meant miles of different coloured wires all needing to be hooked-up before you could put the screws to the damn thing...all in a space where no human finger shall fit. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Bonam Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 Yeah I can't really make heads or tails of what's under my Honda Fit's hood... then again, it's run perfect for 3 years now so I don't really need to either. Quote

Throw-away cars...much like a bic lighter. Now these suckers went fast...light body...BIG engine...high gearing. Cruised at 120...that's miles per hour. Chevy Nova Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
DogOnPorch Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 This was a similar car to the Nova...just from Pontiac...the Acadian. By the late 70s...the Acadian (see also Chevette) became a hatchback family car. Drove the bag offa one of those...bush roads...much like the video. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Jack Weber Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 Otherwise known as the Chevy II... Awesome drag car...I like the 355 Maxi Mouse small block power and the tight wheelbase!! But not as much as I like a '69 Hemi Dart!!!Or a '69 AMC AMX!!! Those,my friends,are killing machines!!!! Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Wild Bill Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 When I was a kid, my neighbour friends all worked on their muscle cars. One loaned me his car for my driver test, a 1965 Chevy convertible 396 SS, with a 4 speed Muncie and custom rear end gears. I think I passed my licence 'cuz the car scared the examiner and he just wanted to get rid of me! A few years later I was ready to buy my own first car but the OPEC crunch had hit, sending gas prices skyhigh. Everyone was scrapping their big blocks and buying little gas misers. Power disappeared almost overnight. After that, I could never get the joy of that rear-wheel drive big block power again! Front wheel drive and small blocks just didn't cut it. Once salesman sat me in a Chrysler Daytona Turbo and said,"Feel that! 140 Horsepower when the turbo kicks in!" I just looked at him. "The cars I used to drive, they got 140 HP out of the starter motor!" So, all I care about is air conditioning and how many speakers. I began to drive vans for the convenience of the room. Why not? There was no power thrill to be had! There was and is nothing much available that's affordable for the average guy. So I totally failed the test! Once they switched to front wheel drive and more "aerodynamic" styling, pretty well all cars look the same to me. About the only one that I can recognize is a P T Cruiser.
