Automotive Testing Expo 2019 – Good Memories

We’re remembering fondly a bit of friendly competition and interesting discussion at our Hospitality Suite at Automotive Testing Expo in Novi, Michigan last year. Our Halloween theme included questions that were thought provoking, discussion generating and just plain fun. Many/most had no correct answer. Instead we learned something about our industry and each of you.

Here’s a couple of questions with the most popular answers. Note – participants voted with plastic eyeballs, black and orange spiders, and other spooky stuff!
