While you are thinking about #3, let's proceed:

Question#4
When you hear the word "Crapo", what auto manufacturer comes to mind?
(I can think of several, he..he..he...)

GM founder William Crapo Durant

Rightee Oh, Carey.

Good old "Crapo" started GM with a $2,000 investment and in 12 days had sold stock worth $12,000,000. With the cash he bought Buick and in six weeks also acquired Olds. He then purchased the Oakland Motor Company in Pontiac Michigan and renamed it........can you guess? No, Alexis, not Mazda.

Here's a pic of ol' Willy.

Could it be Pontiac?

309...ish.

But, some of those might have been '68's and 70's made to look like the '69. Also, I think the new movie used about 30ish.

Ok, how about this question:

Where is the best place to find the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle (other than your owners manual)?

[Sanbient]

Driver side door. Just a little bit above your sill plate.

Where is the "cubby hole" located in which Mini tells you to place your keys if you ever need to go jogging, hiking, or terrorizing crazy people on the side of the street...Yeah, you know the ones I'm talking about.

Ok... speaking of 1969 Chargers,,, The Dodge Daytona ( AKA Superbird )had the largest wing ever put on a factory auto. What was the purpose of such a large wing?

Well, they made the Daytona so they could enter NASCAR, and the purpose of the wing was the same as all wings, to create a down-force to keep the rear-end on the ground when driving fast.

The reason they made it so tall was so that the trunk could be open without hitting the bottom of the wing.
