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

I went to the "Sculpted in Steel" exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts - Houston. Fourteen cars from the 20s to the 40s including this one car I had never seen. Do you know what it is?
Dave is absolutely correct. That beauty is Edsel Ford 1934 Model 40 Ford Speedster. Nice to have a Dad in the car business eh?

Here's a nice article about the car and designer.

Nope! I know of one car with them, there are probably more, but I know of one late 60's car with them. And by the way, I forgot to mention, that is a photo of a 2016 Mercedes.

YEP! It's just like the "cocktail shaker" on a Camaro convertibles.





And in the rear.



The Mercedes is a convertible too! I was blown away when I called with the part number off the part to hear that they call it a "Vibration absorber." Mercedes is good for calling stuff mind blowing assinine names so was surprised when it was right on. By the way it's $505. :D It's your floor BB. Dave57210 had it in a PM first though. :D
