Posted by froggygg06/11/05
Now that is what I call a creative teaser! I really enjoyed trying to figure them all out. Got almost all of them but got stuck on #5-Toyota (and I drive a Camry!) and #12 Chrysler. I figured out the cry portion but not the slurr. Oh well, 10 out of 12 isn't too, bad. I really like your play on words and would love to see more of these! The are fun! Good job! :D :D :D

:roll: I only got Saturn, Lincoln, & Mercury. Oh well. Good one though, keep em coming!!! :D :D :D

Posted by victort2107/18/05
I missed #5--thought of all the Star Wars cast, except Yoda! And I have all the first 3 films and 2 of the prequels ! Number 6 threw me. I wasn't thinking about the fact you said MAKE of car, not model. I thought of NOMAD, an old Chevy station wagon from the 50s. And for number 9, which is DODGE, I was thinking of a Ford Escape. DUH!! LOL Oh well. I got most of them. Gimme more!!! 8) :D :o :)

Posted by Question_Mark07/18/05
Toyota (toy yoda, HA HA) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Posted by 94_807/18/05

Posted by Ohtar200007/18/05
:lol: :lol: :lol: My last name is "Ohta" and I've driven Toyota's most of my life. One of my nicknames (for a while, was Yoda".. so.. I got ToYoda.. actually.. it was one of the FEW that I got! :lol:

Posted by kgripp07/18/05
I thought #6 was explorer. :oops:

Posted by angeleyes_707/18/05

Posted by tisa_199407/18/05
Name the automobile makes was a pretty cool brain teaserto me!!!! 8) :D 8)

Posted by cyclergal07/18/05
I liked "Nomad" for #6.

Posted by thimblenoggin07/19/05
I HADE #6 AS AN EXPLORER AND #9 AS A (DODGE) DART. YODA HAD ME CONFUSED AND IT MIGHT BE THE MOST OBVIOUS . I WAS STUCK ON SKYLARK. NICE 1.

Posted by thimblenoggin07/19/05
SORRY ABOUT THE CAPITALS

Posted by Sunrose09/24/05
Clever Ideal, Good teaser, it was fun to do. Good Job :D

Posted by smarty_blondy10/02/05
Now this was my kind of teaser. Where do i start? Crerative, clever, fun, inventive, it has them all. Very well done, give me more! :D

Posted by common-sensei07/19/06
Actually to be specific. Ford is the make. Explorer is a model of the make. I guess the clue "closed mouth singer" would be a Hummer. An army engineer war veteran would be a Corp-vet ( Corvette ). :lol: :wink: :roll:

Posted by c_rae07/19/06
I LOVE cars, so this one was great in my books!!! :D Keep 'em coming! Can't wait for version 2! :D

Posted by FeaerFactorY66607/19/06
Hahah! I got some of em but not so mcuh others! Loved it tho! :D

Posted by bradon18200107/19/06
Not sure what I think about this one. It was easy and hard all at the same time. :o

Posted by coachpisco07/19/06
Terrific. I even liked Toyota. :D

Posted by jessmr07/19/06
LOVED IT!!! :lol: especially toyota, LOL :lol: keep ones like this coming, cant get enough good riddles!!! :D

Posted by Pizzazz2u07/19/06
Very imaginative! This one stumped me on #12, and on #5, I used Ranger. :P OMG! you can't be right ALL of the time...lol Keep up the good work.

Posted by kcheer249307/19/06
More Please! Definitly have to email this to all my friends. Creative. Great Work

Posted by Musikman21207/19/06
The best teaser of it's kind that I've seen in a while.

Posted by BunnyCup07/19/06
Great teaser! I also guessed "Explorer", but knew it had to be wrong because it was a make, not a model. Making the same mistake twice, I guessed "Element" for "heavy metal". And, instead of getting the very clever "Toy Yoda", I kept thinking "Han Doll", aka "Honda" :) (By the way, if anyone else really likes car related teasers, Car Talk (NPR) has a great puzzler section.)

Posted by iteachkids07/19/06
:lol: Whattastitch!!! :lol: L:lol:VED it!!! Pssst ... Everyone click "This is offensive" on Boakley2's comment. :evil: (If you think it is offensive.) It will go away.

Posted by Stuff107/19/06
Good teaser! MIssed a few but, would like more.

Posted by sagittarius195107/19/06
I thought they were cute, but way too easy. :roll:

Posted by excrash07/19/06

Posted by tonjawithaj07/19/06

Posted by zaya07/19/06
That was fun. Toyota was great, only one I didn't get. :D

Posted by scallio07/19/06
Too tough for this chick that drives a (Star Wars action figure) mini-van! Thanks for a great tease! :lol:

Posted by syracuse94507/19/06
hey, rili nys... 'speciali lykd ur cmmnt on 5's answr... qte... haha... :wink:

Posted by patm07/19/06
I loved these--but I had NOMAD for #6, and ION (thought of Iron) instead of Mercury. I thought the Star Wars one was JETTA (from Jedi), but toy Yoda was very cute! Chrysler was an easy one. I get confused when thinking of MAKES and MODELS of cars--even after the onslaught of commercials! Thanks for the fun! :)

Posted by Neek07/19/06
Very clever, good job!

Posted by tdbrsun07/19/06

I am glad I'm a car freak.

Posted by Diore07/19/06
Yeah, this one was a lot of fun & it wasn't too easy nor too hard. Really good job!!! :lol:

Posted by foreverfree07/19/06
HAHA! loved it! that was the best teaser i've seen in a VERY long time. it wasn't too easy, but wasn't too hard. it's really hard to find that fine line, either it's way easy and i get it right away, or it's beyond me and i don't even try. i can't wait for number 2! i got like the first 4, but didn't work hard enough for the rest. loved the toyota one, i kept trying to figure that one out, i actually thought it might be toyota from the toy part but i didn't figure the rest out. awesome teaser, keep em coming! :)

Posted by somnambulist07/19/06
I really enjoyed this one, good job! I got Trooper for the Star Wars figure, and Explorer for the world traveler, but I couldn't figure out diminutive= Mini for the life of me! :lol:

Posted by utnative07/20/06
i really enjoyed this one and i got half right. ask my two teenage granddaughters for help one got toyota but said no duh .they said they don't really look at cars unless a cute boy is driving it. :lol: :D really good teaser, keep up the good work :lol: :( :wink: :wink:

Posted by utnative07/20/06
sorry my granddaughter said toyata AND I SAID NO not her duh :( :( :oops: :cry: :cry: :wink: :wink:

Posted by monkeygrl9907/20/06

Posted by tintiniscool06/07/07
This teaser is awesome! :D :D :D

Posted by builder07/19/09
great teaser, however it was great a few years ago when I rated it . I haven't been able to rate a rerun teaser in over a week. Any new ones, please?

Posted by doehead07/19/09
Another oldie makes the list!!! :-? :-? :-?

Posted by auntiesis07/19/09
New to me. I didn't get #5 or 12, otherwise I did pretty good. Fun teaser. :D :D :D

Posted by Barticus07/20/09
I missed Land Rover and Toy Yoda. I got most of them immediately, but Sob and Cryslur took some thinking. Good Teaser. :D

Posted by Babe07/19/12
I got some, others not! There was more than one that was a stretch. I do not like cutsey ones that the creator thinks up in their head and thinks we all should figure out what is going on up there. Glad you all liked it. I am entitled to my opinion though. :(

Posted by dsjt07/19/12
For #5 I was coming up with the Corvair. I was thinking Darth Vader which sounds a lot like Ralph Nader. {You younger kids can Google Ralph Nader Corvair.} And on #4 I could only come up with Chevrolet. That's because mine always made me weep convulsively. Good teaser. Fun.

Posted by bestgirl07/19/12
To each his own, I guess. Not knowing cars, it did not interest me.

Posted by HABS293307/19/12
I agree with some others that some of the answers were more than a bit of a stretch. However, some of the proposed answers were no better in that regard also being a bit out there. While cars themselves do not interest me and my knowledge of cars is limited to 1) This pedal makes it go 2) this pedal makes it stop, and (3) The round thing in front of me aims it . .. I know NOTHING about cars at all. You throw a 34d pedal in the mix and I'd have to take a bus; I still enjoyed trying to figure out the models at which the clues pointed.

Posted by katamaster07/19/12
Possible additional answers - besides Range Rover how about Explorer? Also isn't there a car called Ocelot which is also a spotted cat?
