Production engine?
« on: April 23, 2020, 08:19:10 am »
I tried the Fiero trivia, last night, but got a wrong answer on one of the questions.  What were the available production engines?

Either the 2.5 L or the 2.8 L.  There were no Super Duty engines installed in a production car and there were no factory V8's, either.

Well, you'd have been in my boat.  The SD4 was the answer.

But the question was production engines correct? I agree that wasn't a production engine. Time to appeal the decision!

It was a production engine.  You could order it at the parts desk.

True, but I would consider a production engine being one that came installed at the factory.

Kind of a trick question.

Splitting hairs.  The trivia was fun.  I got to see new faces, and some old faces.

I did not argue.  I have discovered that arguing over this ensures it never happens again.  I like winning, but had no interest in the prizes--only the victory.  Winning this one point wouldn't have changed anything, and we were given a point I would not have awarded, had I been in charge.
