Got that - guess I thought 'clues' were to be sequential wherein the 2nd clue adds to the first etc . . . . . Never mind, I'm just depressed I didn't win the Big Prize

OK...time for round 2. Again....no peeking at your car!

Hands on your buzzers:

What is this and where is it on a Vette?

it looks like a sticker that would be where you jump start your car saying "don't walk in front of car while jumping car"? Under hood sticker?

I'll say I'm impressed that you're that close. But to be fair, I'll need a specific location or device to call this a correct guess!

Don't want to pi$$ you off, but might as well make the game a bit more challenging for all! There's a lot of stuff under the hood.

I'm happy being close I know i've seen that image before and recognize it as don't walk in front of car i think but that's as far as i can remember. If I had to guess an exact location i would say on top of breaker cover in the engine bay where you jumpstart the car, but i'm pretty sure i'm wrong...

And that's where I thought you were implying....and that's not where that image is.

Well...no guesses, so I'll give the win to vig1116 for what was a very close to right answer:





If anybody would be interested in another round or two, I'll be happy to post a few more up!

Why is that on the battery? Like what is it supposed to mean?

Heck if I know. I'm from Southern California, and the only other place I've seen anything like that is near an immigration checkpoint (I guess it's a warning that somebody may jump out of their car and run across the road with their kids. ). We could post it in the PR&C discussion group and I bet there'd be some interesting answers!

I get the "don't stand in front of the car while jump starting"....but I don't see how that icon communicates that message.

From this page: http://www.komanual.com/ocont-750.html

"C. Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish."

Still looks like "don't play tag with your kids!" to me!

I have no life, and so I looked it up also. Got "Keep away from Children"

Don't play tag is a good one though. Another one I came across was "The child will lead you to safety, Do not let him" LOL
