Car Trivia....

[Terry]

The local car club around here is having a car show this weekend and wants to do some car trivia. I've got the task of coming up with the questions. Anyone have any good ones? Any car question will work...hard enough where everyone and thier mom wouldn't know but not too hard to the point of no-one getting it.

Q) Who invented the first true automobile? (Maybe a little too non-specific)
A) Karl Friedrich Benz (1844-1929)


Shit - I'd just google a bunch of questions.

Who now owns Chrysler's defense division? General Dynamics
Something about the designer of the GTO?

Thats all the non blatently obvious ones I can think of at the moment, my car knowledge aint so big.

[Terry]

Might be a little too difficult (especially Chris's ). I did plan on googling some but figured you guys would come up with something.

Write down all the acronyms you can think of...
Stick them in randomly depending on where you are in range of questions.

AWD, FWD, DOHC would be in the easy range
TPS, SRS, CAS medium
FAAC, ETACS more difficult

I think people sometimes get confused hearing the letters read outloud rather than reading them with their own eyes.

Fun quiz, I thought a 3S quiz done in game show format would have been fun at the NG...

Boy, could I really mess people up with acronyms... i can list off at least 100 different ones JUST for modules that can be in a vehicle, many of which overlap each other (TBC = BCM = BFC, RCDLR = RFA, ABS = EBCM = EBTCM, ECU = ECM = VCM* = PCM* etc).

Exactly...that's why adding acronyms to the quiz would be fun and challenging. Maybe you can come up with a good list for Terry.

I've got a decent list started but it's mostly history and classic cars. Give me some good import car questions...with answers.
