Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 13 updates in 3 topics

Pete <pagrsg@wowway.com>: May 28 09:05PM

This quiz is about automobiles of many sorts.
 
The usual rules apply. Include the questions in your reply and add your
answers after each one. I will score the quiz on June 5 and post answers
on June 6.
 
Scoring will be as follows: most questions will require at least the Make
(manufacturer) of the automobile(s), scoring 1 point each. For those
questions requiring the Model of the automobile, an additional 2 points
will be awarded for a correct answer. This quiz has a maximum of 27 points
available. Some answers may repeat.
 
1. Which manufacturer (make) has won the most NASCAR Manufacturer's
Championships, with 38?
2. After emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009 and the closing of
several brands, General Motors is left with 4 Divisions (makes) in the USA.
Name them for 1 point each.
3. What is the longest continuously made car in the world, first made in
1934 and still in production today (make and model)?
4. What is the highest selling vehicle (make and model) in the USA, with 34
million sold since 1948?
5. The Aston Martin DB5 is the most famous car used in the James Bond
movies, but it was not the first. What is the first car (make and model)
driven by James Bond (in "Dr. No")?
6. Before finally settling on a name, choices for this famous car's name
(make and model) included Cougar, Torino, Bronco, Puma, Cheetah, and Colt.
Name it.
7. What is the highest selling vehicle in the world (make and model), with
over 40 million sold since 1966?
8. Which manufacturer (make) has won the most Formula 1 World Constructor's
Championships, with 16?
9. What is the highest selling all-electric vehicle (make and model) in the
world, with approximately 158,000 sold since 2010?
10. This 1964 car (make and model) is generally considered to be the first
"muscle car" and started the trend of all 4 automakers (Ford, Chrysler,
General Motors, American Motors) offering competing models.

Well, then I guess I'm safe from winning. Just as well, I would not
have been able to run RQ 184 anyway, due to being off-net at that time.

Two contestants with this answer. Not that I know which is the correct
answer, but that much I know about Canada, that I can say that Nunavut is
an impossible answer. (Unless there been some status changes recently
that I have missed.)
