Law student Clara Lee won Thursday's DailyNews contest and the prize of a stainless steel water bottle provided by the Alumni Office.
Her name was drawn from the many entrants who correctly identified a Boston cooler as a Vernor’s float, a Coney dog as a Detroit-style chili dog, Detroit Iron as muscle cars, a Michigan left as a specialized traffic manoeuvre and the Motor City Madman as singer Ted Nugent.
She researched several answers, Lee says: “I learned a lot.” Watch for another Detroit-based trivia contest next week.
