Burnt Autos: guess the burnt-out car

Wheel studs: 4 on many small Japanese cars, 5 on most European and larger cars, 6 on trucks and big SUVs.

C-pillar: the shape behind the rear door is often a signature (BMW's Hofmeister kink).

Light housings: even melted, the shape, size and position of the rear lights give a lot away.

Proportions: wheelbase, overhangs and ride height narrow it down fast.

Details: mirror mounts, door handles, fuel filler side and exhaust tips.
