About This Quiz

Cars appeal to people in all age groups. Just look at some of the famous car movies that have been produced targeting everyone from the classroom to the retirement home.

On the younger side of things, the crown jewel of vehicles in cinema is the "Cars" series produced by Pixar. The fantasy tale of a world full of talking cars was a smash hit, raking in over $462 million in ticket sales around the world when it was released in 2006. The movie spawned two sequels with similar nine-figure profits at the box office.

The elderly enjoy their cars just as much as young people. One of the most famous car enthusiasts is Walt Kowalski, the character played by Clint Eastwood in the movie he also directed and produced in 2008, "Gran Torino." The curmudgeonly old war veteran Walt ends up befriending a young man who attempts to steal his beloved Ford Gran Torino, learning about race and himself in the process.

Based on the different preferences people have about their vehicle color, seating material, shape and size, it's easy to infer who they are. Answer some questions about your dream car and how you would use it and see what age your taste in cars lines up with!
