Default Name that car test
http://www.autoinsurance.org/name_that_car/

Probably easier for US onions. They give you a picture or a one sentence clue on the left and then you have to guess which car they refer to on the right. You can also request another clue by clicking "next clue," but your score for a correct answer will go down if you use too many clues.

The jeep is the only one that really tripped me up... who the hell thinks of Jeep with the clue of "general purpose" is beyond me. If anything, an effing jeep has a specific purpose, a damn minivan is general.

That got me too, then I remembered, Willys Overland Jeeps, not that useless pos Jeep of today.

"Production of the Willys MB, better known as Jeep, began in 1941, shared between Willys, Ford and American Bantam which had initiated the original Jeep body design.[citation needed] 8,598 units were produced that year, and 359,851 units were produced before the end of World War II. In total, 653,568 military Jeeps were eventually manufactured. The origin of the name "Jeep" has been debated for many years. Some people believe "Jeep" is a phonetic pronunciation of the abbreviation GP, from "General Purpose", that was used as part of the official Army nomenclature. The first documented use of the word "Jeep" was the name of a character Eugene the Jeep in the Popeye comic strip, known for his supernatural abilities (e.g., walking through walls). It was also the name of a small tractor made by Minneapolis Moline[citation needed] before WW2. Whatever the source, the name stuck and, after the war, Willys filed a successful trademark claim for the name"

I barely passed with a D (D is passing? Didn't know that!), but at least I got the GP/Jeep answer correct! Booyah!!

98% - the Launch year of the Ford Mustang one I got wrong. I only used the first clue for each question though.
