Number 1: What slang term did the Duesenberg inspire that's still used today?
Answer: That's a doozy
"the Duesenberg Automobiles and Motors Company released world-renowned cars in the early 1900s. These cars called Duesies added more meaning to the phrase at hand. Some of the cars released by the company were worth millions in today's currency (USD). Now, a connotation concerning a large sacrifice or shelling out is added to the definition."
Number 2: What state has the most vehicle miles traveled?
Answer: "You’re right if you guessed the “one big freeway” state of California, which swamped the competition with 324 billion in 2009. Next up, Texas, at 230 billion. This is why California needs its own emission standards. The state with the fewest miles traveled was Delaware (3 billion), followed by Alaska (4.9 billion). That’s funny, the biggest state (with a whole mess o’ wilderness), and one of the smallest."
Number 3: How much time do you spend waiting at traffic lights in your lifetime?
Answer: 2 Weeks
Number 4: what's the record for pulling an engine out of a car? Bonus points if you name the car.
Answer: 42 seconds and that's actually pulled AND replaced. In a Ford Escort in 1985
Number 5: What was the first Japanese car produced in the USA? That's make and model
Answer: 1982 Honda Accord
Number 6: How many cars does Ferrari produce a day?
Answer: 14.
Number 7: How much gas does it take to just start the average car?
Answer: Half an ounce is used to start the average automobile.
Number 8: What is the city with the most Rolls Royce's per capital?
Answer: Hong Kong
Number 9: What year was the first speeding ticket issued?
Answer: 1902
NO CHEATING USING THE INTERNET. You either know it or you'll learn the answer tomorrow :)

I am thinking Texas. Biggest in the lower 48, major urban centers are hundreds of miles from one another with nothing much in between, suburban areas are very spread out due to land being cheap, and not much for public transit in the major cities (no BART/subway systems). All makes for a lot of driving.

well since they make everything by hand and sometimes made to order i'm guessing around maybe 40 to 60 cars a day.
