Truth. :lol:

You had the right year the first time, so I just looked for the 16 instead of 1. But either way, you still won it. :lol:

Compared to justin, I got 8 and 16 wrong... do you have sources for those? I want to know where I messed up.

#16: http://world.honda.com/history/limitlessdreams/doyouremember/text01/index.html

Yet, on this day fifty years earlier, the Honda Motor Co., Ltd., came into being.
