b a a b b d b b.

The last question was difficult. I hard a hard time picking just one. I think you should've put "H - All of the above" as an answer

 

A A A B D C D trickquestion

BTW, the wording on #3 is really poor... do you mean "Who is the largest supplier of turbochargers for the US market" or "What US company sells the most turbochargers" ? And are you only talking about cars/light trucks?

For #8, I'd have a pretty specific order for 90s cars... R34 GTR > FD RX7 > S15 > TME > S14 > all the rest.



Edit: I did poorly.

 

#3 edited. Hopefully it's worded better. The last question isn't really a question, it's more of a poll. Curious to see the outcome.

so 4 - B

and e_kobz had 6 right.

(Although, if you're talking early '90s, 8 would be F. )

 

I thought that too but I wasn't gonna say anything

 

Hit D instead of B. My monkeyass fingers can't type on an iPad all that well.
