Test your car knowledge

cbdallas · 07-24-2012, 03:48 PM

I dug out boxes of old pictures this weekend and finally scanned the pictures of all my previous cars (except the ones that I already have electronic pictures of). I couldn't find any pictures of my old VW or Chevy Pickup, so I used some stock internet photos that represent them very closely.

Can you name the year, make & model of all these? Include the trim level (i.e. LX, SE, RS, etc). I know it's impossible to get the years exactly right, as most cars don't change cosmetically during their model years. Just give it a shot!

P.S. I'm horrified that I've owned this many cars since 1986.

19 cars in 26 years isn't all that bad, I am at 10 in 11 years.

The VW looks like a 1972.

Glad you are gradually getting away from the blue oval garbage

cbdallas · 07-26-2012, 01:46 PM

Forgot to mention.....my favorite of the bunch. Not the NICEST car I've ever had when referring to amenities, but it's the only one I've had that NEVER gave me a single problem. After 75,000 miles and 4 years, it only needed 2 sets of tires and a battery. The Mitsubishi V6 never smoked like so many others did (I blame poor maintenance). I'd still have it if I could've kept it & still bought something new. 1993 Sundance "Duster" V6. Such a fun car.

Yes but they probably all have body cancer due to the road salt used in the winter.
