I count one - the truck in the top left.

We've got some convertible, an American pick-up, Beetle, Impreza, some plane, MX5, 2002, a Citroen who's name I forgot.

Next row - a train, Lotus Cortina, Nissan something(?), something old, XR4i, F-Type, erm I dunno maybe a Mahindra, some space thing.

Or am I wrong?

Your "some plane" is an A-10. Not sure about the "some convertible" - maybe a Lotus Elan? Citroen is a DS, American pickup is I think a '59 Ranchero.

"Something old" is the Cugnot steam engine.

It does look like an Elan. Yes, think you're right

Looks pretty cool

Possibly discounted on uncertain quality of "car".

Top L to R: Lotus Elan, '66-67 El Camino, lunar rover, VW Beetle, last-gen Mitsu Evo, plane, Miata, BMW 2002, Citroen DS

Bottom L to R: high-speed train, Lotus Cortina, Mitsubishi Starion, old steam car, Merkur XR4Ti, Jaguar F-Type, 4-door Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, space thing.

So yes, only one purely American vehicle: The El Camino. Two Mitsubishis, 1.5 Euro Fords, 1.5 Lotuses, 2 German cars, 1 French car, and 2 more Japanese vehicles.

I don't have a header bar, AdBlocker maybe?

Mitsubishi Starion! That was bugging me. I reckon your Evo might be an Impreza purely because of the decal on the door

For your information, the something old is Cugnot's Fardier à Vapeur, the very first car (1769).

The Evo is actually a WRX STi in rally livery. And the lunar rover is the mars Curiosity rover

I don't think we've ever confirmed the identity of the suv. Its not the FJ45LV (the only 4 door J40) because its too short.

It could be an FJ55, but it didn't have a spare tire on the outside.

Im pretty sure its a G-wagen.

I had believed your "El Camino" to be a '59 Ranchero, though the A-pillar's not right. The 'Camino roof matches, the Ranchero's side relief is somewhat better - there are issues with both.

Could be a G-Wagen! Good guess.

Funny enough, the side relief thing bounded back around with the '72-'74 Ranchero, but the B-pillar's not right.

Me neither, and I don't have AdBlock or anything. I used to see the header bars for the first few weeks after they were introduced, but not anymore. Also, I see very few ads on any Gawker sites, and none at all on Jalopnik. Chrome, Firefox, or IE makes no difference.

You're in Ontario, right? I'm in BC. Maybe it's a Canadian thing.

I've been able to conclusively determine it's not a Holden/ Oz Falcon of any kind. Nor is it a Ford Mainline (also Oz), a Hillman, nor even a Chrysler/Dodge Valiant. I'm stumped.

Some convertible? Heathen. That's a Lotus Elan :)

I did get it but not until after someone pointed it out!

The plane is definitely an A-10 Attack Warthog

Proper name: Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II, yes. His phrasing of "vehicle" did leave that open (definitely an American vehicle), and almost all residents of Oppo should recognize it - we've even got two people on Oppo that have served on support crew.

Yeah, but the big 'J' looking thing is obviously turn 1 at a NASCAR track.
