Is any one else seeing car questions in just about every BT/CD game?!?!

There seemed to be at least one freaking car question in every game I played this weekend. The one about which 60's car had a spotlight on top of it--(Winnie Cooper or Mini Cooper, forget which it was), which car did Ringo Starr own, who invented the rear mounted engine, this color was available for Corvettes in 1959, which car of the 1930s was called the Queen of the Road, which car made its debut at an auto show in 1989...I mean, WTF! Those are just the one's I remember!

Where are all of those Wyatt Earp questions from a few years back when I need one?

Quit complaining - I lost a perfect on not knowing which old West figure died of natural causes - and IIRC you got the gold on that game even with a car question (I may have the games mixed up - I don't have that kind of timestamped memory) ;)

I lost a 10K game on the Whichever Cooper question. Bat Masterson I know.

Does the name of the VW in the Walt Disney movies count as a car question? Saw that one, too.

Doc Holliday? At least that was the first name that popped in my head.

Well of the options listed it was Bat Masterson, who apparently became a journalist/editor later. I of course had no fricking clue but got it on second guess for somehwere in 400s.

I saw that VW question a couple of weeks ago.

The last time I played (Thurday after SIX), I didn't see any car questions..but my most recent afternoon sessions did have one per game. Maybe it varies by time of day?

I'd rather have a car question than an extra more movie/music/tv question per game..or the so-called business questions. Also I prefer car questions to the inane "where would you find a nozzle?" sort of question, that we've been getting from time to time in the 10 question games

Although I get nearly every car question for full points, I agree that every game seems a little too often. Maybe one car question per hour or 90 minutes would be better.

Yes, there are a lot of car questions.

They're just 0s for me. I don't give a flying shit about cars, and am not wasting brain cells trying to remember who made what car when.

Agree, that time would be better spent learning all the Nobel Prize winners and their specialty :)

Tiefly, just go Citroen and you'll be fine (most of the time)...

To each his own. I would rather have car questions than pop music questions. I am not going to waste brain cells either on trying to remember "who did the 2003 cover of the 1989 no 1 hit?".

I went with Citroen when Mini Cooper was the correct answer...EGADS!!!

Didn't see as many car questions in the two hours I played (poorly) yesterday., but did have to guess at a Child Molester Allen movie question.

I'm with Frank on this one. Bring on more car questions! Screw the rap crap & Spears/Lohan type questions.

I do not play as much as you, so I seldom see car questions, but gd music questions are in every game I play.
