I just learned that the California Automobile Museum has a monthly event where they will take you for a ride in one of the cars from their collection (I’m not sure if they’ll let you pick literally any car in their collection, but for purposes of this poll let’s assume they will). Since they have more then 50 cars I can’t list all of them in a poll, but I’m gonna try to pick a few cars from each decade and a mix of different types of vehicles. ETA: I also omitted most of the race cars, because most of them don’t appear to have passenger seats, so I assumed those were not options.

Which car do you want to go for a ride in?

You’re in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a major road in the right-side lane. Stop and go. There’s a line of cars on an upcoming side street at an uncontrolled intersection waiting to turn right onto the main road. You’re coming up to that intersection.

How many cars, if any, do you “let in”?
  • Zero. This is not your spot!
  • One. One is fair. You can go, but the driver behind you has to wait.
  • Two, because I’m nice.
  • More than two.
  • I don’t drive/I have no opinion.
