I came across this today at work and it was fun so I thought I'd post it to see who can get the highest score :)

My RX-7 got 184 points :D

can anyone beat me?

Your typical '90 MIata should get 131 points.

If I took out the cupholder insert and put in the ashtray that came with Kate's car it would be bumped up to "fantasy garage"

Kate's car scores higher because it has exposed bondo (stupid used car lot)

Unless I lost count, Ed's TR6 got 215. Unless they actually expect the engine to be in one piece (and in the car). Welding the doors shut would push it over 300 and make the chassis more rigid. Hmm...

67, I guess I suck. lol Though I've gone through many vehicles that would peg the scale to get there.

The winner will be the moron in Texas who wrecked his Bugatti into a marsh when he dropped his cell phone...

My 05 Ford Focus ZX3 SES got 100 points. The only reason it got points is due to it having a Mazda engine, for everything else it was canceled out by all the cupholders in the car.
