But before you blast off on a vehicular adventure, there's that whole pesky detail of acquiring said vehicle. Fear not, intrepid adventurer/commuter/grocery getter, for this amazing quiz will separate the tire kickers from the true gearheads (metaphorically speaking, please don't actually kick tires, it's rude to the cars).
