I had to manually tally my score -- out of 77 total, I only got 52...I did blank on 4-5 obvious ones I already knew, about 5 of them were kind of ambiguous, and the rest weren't on my pop culture radar...
So how many can YOU get??

(55,445 posts)1. The Spy Who Loved Me -- My brain went on vacation for a split second, because no way should I have ever missed that one...I must not have looked at it long enough, because at first glance I didn't recognize it at all...
2. Gone in 60 Seconds -- For some reason I envisioned that car as a different color
3. Speed -- I was thinking that bus was too old a model to be used in a 1994 movie...I actually had to look up some movie stills to compare -- And yes, it was accurate...
If I could have seen a larger picture, I get those right easily...Although the small resolution is part of the challenge...
The infuriatingly ambiguous ones:
1. Breaking Bad -- Never seen an episode, so my answer was "About Schmidt"
2. Supernatural -- Never seen an episode, so my answer was "Hawaii 5-0"
3. The Matrix -- Seriously? The 1961-64 triple-black Lincoln Continental has been in dozens of movies/shows, along with the late-60s versions as well...My answer was "Animal House", which still could have been technically correct...

(12,132 posts)well, for the real-life cars anyway - Although I have seen a real Speed Racer Mach 5 at a comic-con.
That was a terrible depiction of a DeLorean and yeah - there were a lot of pictures that just could be anything.
And what kind of poll makes you count your own score? They need to learn to poll.
