Chevrolet?

You got it!

I don't always have my next puzzle ready to go. Sometimes, I come up with an idea as I post, and in this case, I happened to have just watched a NASCAR race, so I went with that one, not so much to stump you guys, but mostly just to see how many guesses it would take for someone to figure it out.

Your turn, @f-22 "raptor" ace

(Also, Mo-o-o got to tell you, only incorrect guesses would decrease the number of guesses left. Unless something like this is officially established or agreed upon by others, you should stick to the conventional rules)

(Plus, there should be only 6 guesses in total at the start, which we have agreed upon a few weeks ago to make us think more about what letters we choose and not have it be too easy)

O?

Whoa, slow down there, you two! Let the rest of us have a chance to participate!

Plus, as stated, we're supposed to start with six wrong guesses permitted, so the count should be at five at this moment.

Anyway...

I?
