POP QUIZ!

A quick recap. Let's see how much you have learned from my trivia over the past year.



1. What car from the 1990s was powered by an exotic DOHC engine, had a turbo-to-cyliner ratio of 1:3 and it's engine was offset fomr the centerline to accomodate the complex transmission?


2. What car was released upon the American public on Sept. 29th, 1966?


3. Name this interesting "hybrid" car.




4. Who was the famous Amtomotive figure whos' taxidermied Shark was repainted to match a concept car without his knowlege?


5. What is the most interesting "selling feature" of the futuristic 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham?



Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable New Years even and a productive and fun-filled 2006. My first resolution is to own a '59 Buick by next Halloween. My second is to do daily trivia just like I did this past summer. With your participation I just might be able to pull it off. (if the mods don;t accuse me of spamming) :D

Mary Jane and me hooked up for the first time ever last night and I had WAY too much, so I'm still very much not coherant. As is my gramar. My friend Robin came over last night and we were playing Syphon Filter II on playstation and he was all dude get a freking PSII and I told him I was saving all my money for a '59 Buick so he just went out and bought me one. Cool huh? the thing is freekin tiny... like a miniature bible. Anyway were palying Homer Hit& Run and it was AWSOME! I already owned a few PSII games and I used to play them on my room mates console but even GT3 pales in comparison to the entertainment value in that Simpsonsgame.... it's awomse. OF course I was having trouble doing basic things and at one point I forgot whatr the hell "control" means. Crazy. Alright I gotta stop. Bye. P.S. XP invited me to tommorow's Bruins game! this is the coolest day ever.
