Birthday Contest

OK, I have a birthday coming up and I've decided I'm going to have a little give-away to celebrate. Here's how it's gonna go down:

It's a birthday trivia contest for you guys to learn a bit about me. One guess per person, per day. We'll do a point system. First person to reach 5 points gets the prize. I haven't decided yet whether or not I'm going to do a runner's up prize. However, I can tell you that there will be an Opus X included in the first place prize. I'll have more details as to prizes soon.

Update: The Opus X will be the Belicoso xXx, aka Power Ranger. I'll also be including a Perdomo Cameroon Reserve Robusto, a Camacho San Luis y Martinez No. 4, and more to come.

rusirius - 5 points - Winner
sane - 3 points
joz3r - 3 points
dutyje - 1 point
Urbi - 1 point
Garen - 1 point

Ok, I'll go with Andrew Wood from Mother Love Bone and Malfunkshun.

Bummer on the metal singer...I thought to go with Opeth and thought that may have been too obvious, so I went with At The Gates.

Both good guesses, but Andy Wood is not it. However, Hint Hint this singer did write a song dedicated to Andy Wood that later became one of the band's hits.

Ok, Kevin Martin of Candlebox, the song in question being Far Behind.

Doh! Google seems to agree

Luko

I'm telling ya, Wooden Jesus was a tribute to Andy Wood. Wooden Jesus where are you from, Korea, Canada or maybe Taiwan?

Rob1110

You're right Luko, actually the temple of the dog project in a whole was a bit of a tribute to Andy Wood. However the correct answer was Kevin Martin of Candlebox, so Joz3r gets the point for that one.

Interesting fact Luko. Cloe Dancer is a great song and Cloe is a cute name. Mother Love Bone was a great band all around, though I'm always impressed when people have heard of them.

OK, here's the next question.

What kind of car do I drive?

Hint: It was only in production for two years.

dutyje

Saab 9-2X

rusirius

Well... Generally when I think of cars that have only seen production runs of 2 years I think of Ferrari and Lamborgini... I hate to stereotype, but considering your taste in music I'm thinking it's neither of these... Anyone with enough sense to listen to great bands would have better sense than to waste money on one of those pits! LOL... (brownie points?!? Stick out tongue [:P]

The Ford GT also comes to mind, but I'm still thinking that's a long shot...

So that leads me to a more down to earth choice... And the one that I'm positive is your ride of choice...

The BMW M3 Sedan...

Rob1110

Not the Saab or the BMW. Think cheaper. I'll give another hint tomorrow morning if nobody has gotten it yet.

sane

Honda CRX, I'd guess a 1991

Not the CRX. And those have been in production much longer than 2 years.

Your right I always think of the 90 and 91 I forget they were back in the 80's.

urbino

Yugo.

Rob1110

damn, urbi. I liked the first answers better. A Yugo? Really? The car that was in Time magazine for one of the top 50 WORST cars of all time.

urbino

Well, you said cheap.

BigDan.

hahahaha thats funny......... ummm a nova?

Rob1110

urbino:
Well, you said cheap.

I said "cheaper" not "cheap." It's not quite on par with BMW but closer to the Saab in price.

And Dan, only one guess per person, per day (unless more than one question is asked in one day).

Which makes the unit of measure the man-question-day, if I'm not mistaken. Sort of like a man-bear-pig.

Exactly.

dutyje

Mercury Marauder

Rob1110

Nothing yet? Ok, here's the next hint:

It's the 4 cylinder, turbo charged, all wheel drive, limited edition counterpart to a car that's currently still in production.

dutyje

Is it one guess per day, or one per 24-hr period? (in other words, can I guess now, or do I have to wait another 10 hrs?)

Rob1110

dutyje:

Per day, beginning at midnight, so you're clear to go again.

dutyje

Great, now I just need to figure out what it might be

rwheelwright

Mitsubishi Evo?

Rob1110

rwheelwright:
Mitsubishi Evo?

Those have been in production for years. Great car though. I did consider those before I bought what I have now.

rusirius

Alright... based on the last clue I'm going to have to go with an Audi RS2 Avant...

sane

I am going to guess some version of the Subaru Impreza, but I really have no idea.
