The blog autoinsurance.org has a little Name That Car quiz that’ll give you a few minutes of joy out of the humdrum that is your day. It’s pretty easy, and I was able to get 100% right without having to go past the first clue. Of course, that’s just me, and I’m, well…me. If you want to give it a go, click on over, but you better get going, those cars aren’t going to name themselves.

At least it isn't filled with mistakes like CarID.
Sorry, Wrong Answer!

LIARS! I WILL STAB YOU ALL!
And how am I supposed to know if that Wrangler is a '96, '98 or '99?
The worst is the cars with the aftermarket body-kit and wheels.
WTF? Who the hell knows what year that is!
I banished that app a long time ago. I got wicked tired of beating up keyboards in frustration.
I probably shouldn't post how I didn't get an A, but tryin it out never the less.
(also, I never asked for more then the first clue, and I'm not sure how that affects the score)

I'm guessing it had to do with the Camry that looks like a US market Corolla with the wrong grill, or the Camaro that debuted in '66 (as a '67 model, duh!). They're the ones that got me a 96%.
This could be Hooniverse for Kids.
I missed one but I don't really care what the best selling car in Canuckistan is. It's not like I ever interact with Canadians anyway.
My brain is too full of useless information this morning. I need to clear out these damn chemotherapy agents out of my brain and read more Hooniverse. My 89% on this quiz is to be taken has an utter and complete failure. But one must get back on the horse.
Damn pharmacy school, always messin' up my shit.
Way. Too. Easy.
Even Motor Trend readers and Camry drivers should be able to get a high score on this.

Okay, so I didn't know that the Mustang was in a Bond film in 1964. Like I give a damn about Bond films. Vanishing Point was the easy one.
I cracked under the pressure! I thought Mustang was the peoples car!!! oh god, do I have to wear the cone of shame? or is it a steering wheel of shame?
No you must sit in the cone of silence.

Geez, I feel like a moron. 85. How am I supposed to know what they drive in Canada? I live about twenty miles away from Mexico, fer chrissake.
The quiz was done by the guy who writes TheOatmeal.com, required reading for people who like things that are funny.
*Hangs head in shame*
How on this green earth could I have missed the F150 question??????
I got an 84%. Not bad for someone who can't tell one BMW from another…yet. I missed the Bond question, too.
I've stared at it pretty hard for a couple of minutes now, and I think it's a melted Volvo XC90.
By the way, I have to call B.S. alert on the actual quiz. The Camry question is a trick question and wrong, wrong, wrong. The Camry name wasn't used as such until 1980. Stupid 98% score!
