Quiz Description

Cars are cool. For many, it's just a mode of hopefully reliable transportation. For others, it's a thing of wonder, beauty, and power. And some people just don't like cars, to the alarm of normal people. Whatever the case may be, ever since Ford and the Model T, a lot of people have got a lot of joy and convenience from cars. It's your job in this quiz to further this seemingly near-universal fascination with motoring, channeling your inner gearhead to guess what car manufacturers or marques answer the following questions. Good luck!
