I thought it was going to be a quiz where it showed pictures of cars with the manufacturers tags taken off, and you would have to guess the make.
 
I got a 92/100 on the car parts quiz, and a 15/20 on the brand recognition one (all the dumb slogans threw me off).

Except no common FWD only transmission has it's axle ports perpendicular to the input shaft, nor does any common FWD setup use a longitudinal mount transmission... seriously wtf kind of FWD transmission is that?

And I missed the 4WD one because, although I thought at first that bit at the rear was a drive shaft flange, the pic was too tiny to tell and there didn't appear to be any semblance of a tail shaft housing or case webbing leading up to it, it looked out of place.

I missed both of these, because FWD transmissions have a differential unit on the backside where the half-shafts connect to put power to the wheels... that's one weird-ass FWD transmission. Looks like something that was kludged together to make a RWD car FWD w/out having to re-jigger the frame and suspension.

The 4WD transmission threw me off too, because it looks like a Corvette-style transaxle.

I also missed the short block/long block question. 😳
 
16/20 and 76/100. I have barely watched TV in years, have never installed any of those parts, and have never even seen over half of them. Only one I feel bad about missing is mixing up the camshaft and crankshaft. Got the second of those two right...when it came up I realized my earlier mistake and wished I could do-over.

Audi and Subaru use a longitudinally mounted engine/FWD configuration.
 
16/20. Got the Oldsmobile logo wrong ("nothing"), missed two catch-phrases, and the one about the most successful car model (guessed VW Beetle).

EDIT: 43/100 on the car parts one. :awe:
