ok car buffs, take the quiz. Some very good questions, but I have to say I only got a 70%, I'm so dissapointed in myself....

80% Missed the same as Rob except I got the Hemi question correct and missed the Zamboni question (thought it was VW). Wayne did not drive the Pacer, Garth did, even their picture shows Garth driving.

67% via some lucky guesses and a few educated guesses.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

I'm a loser! 47% Guess my skirt got in the way. The answers requiring a year got me.

Was thinking about that I got 73% and the Porsche is a 73 what a coincidence.

63%. I can't believe I missed the Wayne's World one.

The Zamboni one was interesting and I only got the GTO mastermind one correct b/c I saw it on a special not too long ago.
