I don't see a point in doing that. and it's not like anyone really wants to play games all day, we want to talk about cars with other people who enjoy cars as much as we do.

yeah but you have to consider the fact that a game doesn't let you interact in the same way an actual discussion does. I'm not saying that they shouldn't add them really, I'm saying I don't see the point in it. it won't teach you anything.. just give you another reason to waste a day on the computer.

Some ideas on adding car quizzes and car related games with a high score system etc has been concidered, but it would cost custom coding that's beyond GearsGarage's budget currently.

I like it how it is =) I don't think we need games or quizes. I like your old fashioned "NAME THAT CAR QUIZ" that has been going on. I think that was a good idea. It tests your knowledge and is fun. so there you go. there's your game.

I think it's neat, it really tests your knowledge of the cars. and not everyone cheats. I think it's a good game for this site. and it doesn't require special codes or anything. not all games have to be quick and have flashing colors and lights and controls. there are games out there that are just as much, if not more, fun than these new games that rot your mind away. plus you actually use your mind for that game.. it's not just a drone of noise and special effects.

Some sort of quiz game regarding car knowledge or something like that where we can compare scores or something like that could be rather fun. I wouldn't want any other sort of game around though, I'm going to agree with Shelby in that I prefer the focus on talking cars with other people who like to talk about cars.

Boring? Slow? I just don't think you're "in the know"

I'm more "in the know" than you'll ever be. I would test you but it would be too easy for you to cheat and recieve help

You're more "in the know" than me? Can you handle a 400hp car? Probably not. Just because you can identify car parts doesn't make you "in the know"... we all can do that. Everyone eventually learns.. so the whole phrase "in the know" doesn't really apply here. C'mon, we're all car lovers, can't we just get along?
