Thats right,a 1 year Premium Membership is up for grabs here.
All you have to do is take this 20 question "Mopar Trivia Quiz".The member who answers the most questions correctly will be the winner....Simple.

A few things first,before we get on with this :

1.)You must be a non-premium member in good standing to be declared the winner.Why would I give out a Premium Membership to someone who thinks it's cool to collect infractions in this forum,or to someone who is soon to get booted out of here.Your name will be submitted to Jordan or a Mod,to make sure you are a member in good standing.

2.) In case of a tie,there will be a "Quiz Off",5 more questions will be posted up. This will go on until we have just a lone member standing.

3.) You will only be allowed to respond to the questions one time.Once you post your answers,your done....no going back and editing.Kind of like being in school,once you hand in your test to the teacher,you can't go back up to them and ask for it back so you can redo your answers.I will post your scores on this page.

Maybe it was your intention, but regarding this part of the rules:

Maybe you should make it a PM so there won't be any answer stealing like there could be from posts.

Great idea , thank you TB.👍

I will post that up.
 
I'll have a go at this.
Thanks for giving us poor credit card-less peasants the chance to stand alongside the great premium... eh GTP gods??
Quiz seems very difficult though so it might be a few days until I've my answers ready and even then most will probably be wrong.
 
Can I still play if I only have a 1-month subscription?

Can you verify your 1 month subscription somehow ? I'm not sure how to check this. :dopey::dunce:

If so,then I would say yes,your ok to join in. 👍
 
^ Not for someone who really wants it, it isn't.
 
I really want it, but I really don't know about muscle cars more than I see in Gran Turismo 4 :lol:

EDIT: I will give it a try. At worst, I can get a little real info on cars other than what I get from the games.

I'm assuming you have to answer these from your head right, because if so I'm ashamed to call myself a Mopar fanatic when I have no idea what the answers to a lot of those are.

I'm going to look up the answers anyway, good things to know.
 
I searched for the answers. It isn't stated that we shouldn't, after all. Anyways, I feel like I have losed my chances of winning already. 10 out of 20 answers correct are the only things needed for me and RJ to lose. :/
 
I'm going to look up the answers anyway

No,I did not state that you could or could not look them up (I had to cut out some of pressure on this).Feel free to get the answers any way you wish. :sly:
 
I tried searching as hard as I could but I think cancer would be more helpful than google trying to find these answers.

There will always be more chances I guess.
 
Wow. I barely lasted one day. Or two. You should end the competition already. I doubt someone can beat that score :lol:
 
What a great idea! You are definitely getting your moneys worth here. :D

👍
 
You should end the competition already. I doubt someone can beat that score :lol:

To those who have not responded,don't give up the ship just yet.One never knows what can happen.You could possibly tie Greycap,maybe even edge him out by a point,possibly go all the way and get them all correct.I do realize Greycaps score is big,but look at it this way,use it as incentive to try to do better,pull out all of your resources,it can be done guys.

Good Luck
