Model Modification 4
Have you ever been stuck in traffic, staring at the vehicle ahead of you?
Did you notice the make and model? Now you can use that to your advantage.
Each clue below takes the model name of a vehicle and modifies it to form a normal English word.
Any letters in quotes must be added to the model name (either before, after, or inside).
See how many you can figure out.
Example: Don't be greedy! Inserting "PERABU" into this Plymouth model is just too much.
Answer: SU-PERABU-NDANCE, a modified Plymouth SUNDANCE. A "superabundance" is an excessive amount.
1. You may get a hole in one of these Volkswagen models, but you will be beaten backwards.
2. Insert "AT" into this Ford model to establish the validity of your will.
3. You must insert an "ITIM" in this Subaru model to be in compliance with the law.
4. This Mitsubishi model is a summary, but it needs an "E" to be strictly correct.
5. Following this Toyota model with "RY" will lead you to a conclusion.
6. Adding "BLE" to this Oldsmobile model is something we can definitely do.
7. Inserting a "C" into this Honda model will make it impossible to occur.
