Car trivia

[tsmall07]

I'm at 45/50. I got nothin' on 4 and 17 (4 looks like a Dodge Neon SRT-4 to me, but it ain't; 17 looks kinda VW Thing-ish),

thats the exact thought i had. still don't know what they are though

[Adam W in MN]

Hehe.... I'm pretty impressed with myself. I got 38/50 on my own without any google searches or anything. Some of them I had to guess a few times and change spelling before I got them. I didn't know the model names of the (oops, edited to remove manufacturer names, #21, #24, & #25) but I was impressed that I even identified them at all since I barely know anything about those types of cars.

edit: 40/50 I can't believe I haven't figured out #15, it's really bugging me.

(Bumping for the added poll ...)

So, to clarify, while I was stuck at 31, it was not for a total lack of knowledge. It's for the lack of getting the knowledge in the form that the idiots who wrote it want it. F'rinstance, I certainly know what #s 5, 19, and 21 are, but I cannot get the thing to accept what I've entered as the 'model'. Probably something as dumb as what #25 required ...

Up to 35 now, using some Google.

A friend of mine sent me this, I was on the right track with most of the ones I didn't know, but I'm not sure I ever would have gotten them all without losing interest first.

If you're really stuck, PM me for hints. :-)

Am I the only one who actually got all of them? #9 threw me on a technicality.

2, 10 and 11, I got nothing. 15 I have the brand but can't seem to dredge up the model...

Oh well, it's early.

[Lancelot]

Stuck at 32 and missing several model names. 9 threw me too, and I don't think it was my fault.

4 is really pissing me off. I cannot for the life of me figure out the model.

Well, thanks alot you guys. I was perusing the board late last night, about ready to go to bed, and then I checked into this link. Now, if you knew me you'd know that I SERIOUSLY like challenges; in fact, I can't quit until I've bested them (for the most part). So over two hours later I'm gritting my teeth going "it is TOO an R5, or something within a couple of numbers (relating to #25). So here it is 24 hours later, and I've got 43/50. No problem with #9, but I'll be damned if I can figure out #10 or 11. What's worse, only like one person couldn't figure out 10, if I recall. Those are the only two that I can't figure out the make. The rest are where it won't accept what I think is the model. I mean, come on, I know the Greek alphabet (hint for one of the cars on the last row). Anyway, at this point I'm giving up. So far all has been without research on the web, but I've GOT to figure out the ones I'm missing or go crazy. What sucks is that I know I'll feel really stupid when I find out what the makes of 10 and 11 are. With 15 I'm happy to just know the make; there's no way I'd actually know the model on my own.

Yeah, I had to break down and Google for the spelling/sub-model once I got past 46 or so. And you're very nearly right on the R5, but you're missing a detail and you have an extra character.

Well, the only special model that I remember was that they made a turbo version, I think around 1979, because I remember reading about it in Road and Track and thinking it would be cool to have. Got a good review, if I remember correctly. But the page wouldn't accept R5 Turbo, either.

O.K. this has been bugging me. I went back and did it again. I got 40/50. I am stumped by 4,8,11,12, and 15.

I am stuck at 40/50 as well...

#s 4,11,12,15, & 22 are giving me fits. Hmmm...I'm now wondering if using Mozilla Firefox is causing a problem. I'm sure I'm getting some of those correct

UPDATE:
I checked the answers. I never would have guessed a few of those that were stumping me.
Go figure. I'm proud of my 40/50 (80%)

Sheesh. That worked, of course...

[Zack Lozoff]

42/50.

12, 15, and 24 are stumping me. I know the make on 5 but not the model.

Update:

44/50. Got 5, get others tomorrow...
