About This Quiz

A truck says a lot about the owner. It speaks to the truck owner's financial means, his or her profession, how he or she spends their spare time, and something about how they see themselves. Truck makers are pretty hip to customizing trucks at the factory these days, but most truck owners will also make some changes once they own their rig, adding decals, making mechanical mods, etc. Trucks are deeply personal to their owners.

Then there are cars. While most trucks are, at worst, "perfectly OK," some cars truly are horrific. Some cars are so awful, you wonder what sort of brain damage leads someone to buy them. Some cars have nothing to recommend them. Not their interiors, not their electronics, not their engines, transmissions or anything else built by engineers. Then, of course, some cars somehow manage to be less than the sums of their parts. Some cars with perfectly good transmissions and suspension still manage to make everyone carsick. Some cars manage to be as long as an ocean liner and still lack any interior room.

Your task is to divide up which cars belong in Heaven or Hell. Once you've done that, we'll run your choices by our list of trucks and determine what truck you own!
