    This is pretty cool. I took it with the wife and did pretty well. I don't think the younger guys will get may of the questions. Lets see how everybody does. There are 12 questions, multiple choice. Post your scores, no cheating or lying though. I gotta a 96 ...

    I gave up after question 3. Did 4 of 4 for question one, then 2 of 4 for 2 and 3. I just dont know those cars at all. I turn 39 this year. FWIW

    yeah some of the GM cars are so close depending on the year(question involving 58 gm products) that unless you were raised around them you dont have a clue if its a chebby buick pontiac or oldsmobile...

    I have an easier time dechiphering the desotos, studebakers, plymouths and fords the GMs all look the same to me year on year....
