Ooh I’m excited for today’s. I feel like there’s gonna be a pretty good spread between 5-year-old dream cars and cars with evocative names. I know I was forgetting a ton of lesser known cars with badass names for that second one.

No, I'm not targeting 20 points - I'm aiming to wolf overall by one point, which means "mostly" picking answers that plausibly could be used by someone else. And I will answer some questions straight as well as answers like I gave for Q11 that could be grouped with other vaguely similar answers

Question 13: The electric revolution is underway in a bigger way than ever before in 2021, and that means the end of the internal combustion engine might be fast approaching. This car will go down as the high-point of internal combustion in my opinion.








Question 14: Big wheels and low-profile tires are all the rage in cars, trucks and SUVs right now. Anything larger than this wheel diameter is just overkill, if you ask me.
