Pfft, of course I recognize those vehicles, those are all sports cars! 😏 ... Wait, what makes and models specifically? Yeah, on that note, I'm fucked. 🙃 I have a hard enough time remembering the makes and models of most modern cars as it is.

Oh shit, they were?? Yeah, I'd only be able to recognize KITT from Knight Rider, and only because of cultural osmosis. I still need to check out the show itself, I hear Peter Cullen voices the evil KITT clone known as KARR.

Being Jamie Lee @beingjamielee.bsky.social

Being over 35 I will only point out that the gold Firebird is a Firebird, not a Trans Am as the Alt text claims. Jim Rockford actually drove Formula 400 but they swapped the hood to make it look like a basic Firebird. Regardless, my '73 Bird was still way more badass.

I am older, so I recognize the cars themselves, well, 3 of them. 124 - Ford Torino, Pontiac Firebird and a Ferrari 308. The "Coyote" gives me the name, but I don't know recognize that car at all, never saw one or heard anyone talk about it

That'd explain it, not big on many shows from the 80s, and I was a bit too young to remember the non-kiddo ones

SouthernBabyBelle @lilbabybelle.bsky.social

The orange one is a Pontiac Firebird, no? It's not the cool black one with the gold eagle, but it's still a fun looking car. And I think the 4th one is a Ferrari, maybe? The other is for sure don't know lol.

Oh, I would have absolutely no idea based on shows. I just know the Pontiac cause it was one of my favorites growing up. If it helps, my 35 year old husband got 0-4 correct.
