About This Quiz

Let's flash back to when you were a kid and it's your birthday, one of the most magical times of the year. You've been waiting for what feels like forever for this day to arrive, wondering what on Earth is in the gaily wrapped gifts sitting on the decorated table were, and you're looking forward to seeing your friends and family. But there is always that one relative who you look forward to seeing the most, where the roar of an engine and a flash of color announces their presence. In essence, the ride that gets that relative to your event is an extension of themselves. 

Just like that relative, movies, television and even cartoons use vehicles to help audiences recognize their favorite characters. A perfect example of how this is achieved is with our favorite secret agent, James Bond. When it came to driving in the early movies, Bond was usually seen tooling around the world in an Aston Martin. Why that car? Aside from being expensive, it's exotic, and it just oozes class and sophistication. In the world of television, "Supernatural" actually had an entire episode featured from the viewpoint of the 1967 Impala that the main characters drive as they bust demons.

Grab some sugary snacks and some soda and let's see if you can pair the vehicle to its cartoon!
