Logged in to my yahoo mail account this morning and got this message.

 

Yahoo! is changing the way you can recover your account in case you forget your password. We recommend that you provide an email address, but you must select two secret questions and answers in order to continue.  

 

So I was OK with the first secret question and answer, then …

 

What was the make of your first car?

Non connoisseur's and techies will probably change their two and three letter brand cars for something with a longer alphanumeric name.  Could be a whole new marketing angle for those in the trade, while the values of the brands with shorter names plummet.
