  • Cool Auto Quiz

    Here is a cool auto quiz. One of these questions is a gimme....


  • #2
    Interesting!

    Some questions you have to guess; I mean: In what year were cup holders introduced in the United States? C'mon; cars in the fifties and even earlier had those little depressions in the glove box door and if they weren't to hold cups, what were they for? (Yes, I missed that one.)

    And how many cars were registered in a given calendar year? That might be auto-related trivia, but it's not auto trivia. Ditto how many meals the average American eats in their car every year. (No sour grapes; I got both of those right, but they were lucky guesses.)

    Nonetheless, a fun quiz. I'll confess to getting 90%. [:0] Chances are, you won't get very high without some lucky guesses! At least it is multiple-choice, so you've got a 25% chance on every question.

    (Right, Chuck: Anybody that misses #23, though, had better go back to Studebaker School!) BP
    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

        Well, everyone here ought to get at least one correct! A great quiz! I thought I'd do better, but 87% is better than most people.

                    Well, I guessed Studebaker on that one, since Newman and Altman weren't listed. I just got a 70.... I guess I need to go to South Bend again for an extended tutorial....... Chuck

                        I quit after about the 8th question. Got tired of all that jumping around.

                            83%. I missed the cup holders, the VW Microbus, national emissions, the amount of cars on the highway and one other one.

                            Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't seat belts manditory starting in 1965?
