We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.

Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.

See this thread for an example of how it goes: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/trivia/1454/page1/

First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari

Oh damn I'm wrong, it's not the T-Bird unless you have a custom one without the chrome "vent" above it. Ok, I retract that answer and will say it's a 55 Studebaker.

It's a friggin "anti roll" system with coolers and gallons of hydraulic fluid. A friggin sway bar isn't good enough anymore, you have a have 40 feet of hose and tubing and crap, geez I love my Rambler.

Guys this Range Rover, it was a $34k repair and still at only 42% of value! :eek:

We had to send it to another shop because the front frame members were damaged (aluminum), we aren't a certified Land Rover shop and they won't sell the parts to us.

GOOD RIDDENS what a looser that sucker was!

Hokey smokes my serious guess was hydraulic fluid for a self leveling side to side suspension. Because the cap is yellow. But I thought rain barrel might be it. But that would have a blue cap probably. Both features could be seriously useful on a safari. Picture a scenario like riding a mower in a ditch. Or camping in it overnight then waking to find yourself in the midst of a herd of water buffalo with empty canteen. Think like a bazillionaire.:pain:
