I'm halfway... I gotta say, most of the questions are for really old movies way before my time... I'm kind of guessing my way through it.  :P

Got 34. All the James Bond questions were killers... only got 1 out of like 5 right. All of the old TV shows were killers too... I was fine with anything after like 1990 though...  :P

I managed to get 37/45.  Two or three were outright guesses while others were plainly obvious, especially those where the actor(s) was shown with the car.

37--Agreed James Bond questions were the hardest (too many movies), some were easy, some were guesses (most for shows not watched)

43 -  I got the 57 Bel Air (never watched the show) and the the 73 Impala (you don't see it often) wrong.

I got lucky on the black and white TV shows.  For most cars, you know the answer by just looking at the picture ... you don't even have to read the vehicle's description.

I gave up after 6 ( I guessed at all and got 4 correct)
The site was very slow
I wasn't in NA until I was a grown up so I didn't see the shows.

I got 41/45.

Most were dead simple.  I made a few good guesses.  And I got most of the "tricks" (e.g., the Bond DB5 which has been in several movies now).

45/45. :)

Yes, I watched WAY too much movies and tv. A couple of lucky guesses helped too.
