Take The Hardest Taillight-As-Sushi Identification Quiz Ever

Sushiquiz Top

I’m not going to lie to you. We’ve been through far, far too much together. I’m short-staffed today, the only editor, and it’s Friday. I’m riding the ragged edge here, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the best automotive content I can give you. But what is “best?” That’s a subjective term, isn’t it? Couldn’t “best” be, say, something goofy and fun and taken from a concept I did a few years ago back at the Old Site? Of course it can! Hell, I did that same thing just yesterday!

In this case, at this moment, with the time I have available, I’m happy to say that “best” is now a quiz where you try to figure out what taillight is being referenced in a hand-drawn bit of sushi. That’s right, everybody! It’s time for the Great Sushi Taillight Quiz, and this time, I think it’s the hardest one yet!

I did the first one of these back in 2019, and I hadn’t wanted to repeat myself. But then I realized, well, why should The Old Site be the only place for Taillight Sushi quizzes? They shouldn’t? I came up with them, and I want to bring taillight sushi joy to all of you Autopians, here on the site I helped create. And, just for more fun, I think this batch is even more challenging. So, who’s feeling like a big shot? Ready to identify some sushi taillights?

As always, each drawing depicts a piece (sometimes pieces) of sushi composed of seaweed, rice, salmon, and tuna. Each piece is designed to look like a specific taillight. Put your guesses in the comments, and I’ll have a link to the answers below all of the sushis:

1.Sushi1

2.

Sushi2

3.Sushi3 4.Sushi4

5.Sushi5

Okay! I feel like some of these are obvious, and some are deceptive, and one is likely pretty obscure. Here’s the answers! Make sure you put your guesses in the comments before checking the answers! Be honest, now!

You’re the best, JT! (heart emoji)

Only got the 504 Berline right. Owned one of those a few years ago before my Figaro, after dreaming about one since 1979. All those southern french holidays sure made their impact on me 🙂

I’ll just say that you should have saved this article idea until you could collaborate with a sushi chef and a photographer.

eh, 2 for 5, but i can feel OK about that… for US readers one was particularly obscure IMO

Word. I got the Fulvia and the 504, but the Brazilian Chevette could have been like 60% of all cars of the 1980s.

I’ve got nothing. It all looks like sushi to me. But I’ve been fed and entertained…so I’m satisfied.

Ummm. This looks suspiciously like the private lunch menu at Le Lumiere. What’s next, Torch? Will you be displaying our semaphore seafood and amber wine selections to the unilluminated?!! Is nothing SACRED?? Honestly, I’m crying in my beer-filled 59 Caddy stemware as we speak.

I was actually able to get #3, shockingly enough. Weirdly spent lots of time with those cars

I never realized how distinctive the 504’s taillights were until I recognized them in sushi.

Send out the emergency alert beacon to the folks at OHOAT – Autopians demand taillight sushi t-shirts!

I’d wear that. It’s low key brilliant. Caters to the car nerd ego perfectly. Says “we know what we got” without actually saying it. And only other car nerds would get it.
My graphic designer wife is on it..
No wait.. she’s ordering sushi…
Do they have crab rangoon?

I am tempted to make my own, but this is original artwork so I’d rather Jason/Autopian gets my nickel.

(screen printing squeegee in hand)“Stop.”
“No.. the ink is perfectly blended.”
“This silkscreen work is immaculate.”

“This isn’t our artwork.”

Only 3 out of 5. But to be fair, who was gonna get number 2 right?

For some reason it amuses me that the Old Site is a proper noun.

I guessed none correctly. I speculated that because of the amber lenses none were US domestic lights , but that’s as far as I got. I’m so ashamed … and hungry.

I’m so annoyed and exasperated by the insanity of the article and the obscurity of the answers that I can’t even be bothered to comment.

Looks delicious! But I’m clueless about the taillights. Still, yum…

taillight sushi joy

I love this phrase for reasons I do not yet fully understand.

It would be a fantastic name for a food truck, though.

I only got #5. I’m clearly not the taillight connoisseur that I thought I was.

You know what might be more fun? If once a week we have a contest where members upload photos of taillights for Torch to guess.

How about photos of real sushi that we bought, started to eat, and then stopped mid-bite as we realized it looks just like a taillight from an obscure Belgian-market-only Spijkstaal tow tractor.

I think there’s a solid 17% chance we could stump him with one of those.

I only got #s 1 and 5. To me at least they are much more distinctive and unusual. I could not place the others.

Thanks for the link. I actually got 4 out of 10 of those. Torch skunked me on this batch. Brazilian market Chevette? That’s not even fair….
