I’m sitting on my back patio right now. I live on a corner lot (bleh!), so there’s another street with lots of vehicles parked on it. From where I’m sitting I can see all or parts of 12 vehicles. They break down the following ways:

-5 pickup trucks (4 crew cabs, 1 extended cab)

-3 SUVs (2 body on frame, 1 unibody)

-3 cars (2 unibody, 1 body on frame)

-1 minivan

-5 GM (2 GMC, 2 Buick, 1 Chevy)

-3 Ford

-3 Mopar (2 Dodge, 1 Jeep)

-1 Honda

My question to you: What are they? Makes and models only, but bonus points if you get the generations right.

EDIT: For clarity, guess what vehicles I can see here at my place. Feel free to also share what you can see from wherever you are too.

Here’s a start.

I wish you’d asked me this a few hours ago when my nextdoor neighbors were having their delicious waffle breakfast party. I’ll re-answer when I get to my party tonight, but right now, from my house, I can see the following:

2004-ish Toyota Camry

2008-ish Ford Explorer

Lexus CT200h F-Sport

2015-ish Cadillac Escalade ESV

What looks to be a 2009-ish Acura MDX from the roofline.

I’ll take the low hanging fruit: 1 GMC double cab pickup and one Buick Roadmaster.

Parents’ 2014 Sequoia

My 2015 Ram 1500

Ok, but what’s parked in front of MY house? :)

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > shop-teacher 07/04/2016 at 17:20

There is a good chance one of the unibody cats is either a W body Impalla or a 7th gen Camry.

I edited for clarity. What do you think the vehicles are that I can see?

Solid guesses, but no.

I edited for clarity, guess what the makes and models of the vehicles in my view are?

A dozen Ford Escorts.

Oh yeah you Sid there isn’t a a Toyota in the bunch.

Zero Escorts. Rust has made them downright rare in these parts.

Pretty solitary out here.

Just how I like it.

How is that truck so clean?

shop-teacher > Birddog 07/04/2016 at 17:47

Well, there’s no dirt or gravel roads around here, but silver does hide a lot. It’s covered in tree sap, with a sprinkling of bird crap here and there.

By low hanging fruit, I meant the fruit that had been harvested from a tree, peeled, cleaned, evenly cut, doused in sugar, cannned, labeled, shipped, delivered, and purchased at the grocery store.

My ass is parked in the back yard. All I can see with wheels is my Webber charcoal grill, a metal wagon for yard work, and a power wheels Jeep

There’s still plenty of salt though. I looked at three of that gen Jimmy today the rockers and rear wheel arches were all toast. The rest of the truck was like new.

I can’t see your house.

shop-teacher > Birddog 07/04/2016 at 22:27

Yeah, we do have plenty of salt. There’s a little bit of rust starting to pop on the driver’s side rocker, and the inside bottom of the driver's door is looking pretty ugly.

That wouldn't be much of a game if you could see it :/

Pretty much yeah.

Well there’s three newer porsches hear and that’s all the more interesting we've got

I’ll guess, a few days late:

-5 pickup trucks (4 crew cabs, 1 extended cab)

two GMC, one Chevy, and two Fords

-3 SUVs (2 body on frame, 1 unibody)

a Durango, an old Explorer, and a Cherokee

-3 cars (2 unibody, 1 body on frame)

Accord, Buick Regal, Roadmaster

-1 minivan

Dodge Grand Caravan

-5 GM (2 GMC, 2 Buick, 1 Chevy)

aforementioned trucks, Regal + Roadmaster

-3 Ford

two trucks, the aforementioned Explorer

-3 Mopar (2 Dodge, 1 Jeep)

Grand Caravan, Durango, Cherokee

-1 Honda

Accord

That’s like a puzzle! Fun to figure out, although I’m probably wrong for most/all ;)

I thought it would be a fun puzzle, but you were the only one who played along. A thousand internets for you!

Trucks: You got ‘em!

SUVs: A first gen Grand Cherokee, a first gen Expedition, and a new Yukon XL

Cars: You were really close here. The Toadmaster, an Accord, and a Buick LaCrosse (stereo typical elderly lady owner)

Minivan: Yep, Grand Caravan indeed.

Awesome! I'll try to do this myself when I get home because it seems like a fun idea.

Cool! I look forward to playing :)
