I'll make the rules as easy as possible this time.
This chain won't be unlimited but it will last for a short period.
I'll start with a car (A).
The following car (B) can be connected with this form only: car B is more (or less) _____ than car A.
The next one (C): car C is more (or less) ____ than car B.
and so on.
You can extend the link to the manufacturer (manufacturer A has been active longer than manufacturer B), to a component of the car (tires of car A are wider than B's), to a person connected to that car (pilot driving car A is younger than car B's pilot) etc, etc.
Only objective comparisons. (faster, slower, higher, lower, expensive, reliable...etc)
You can't use twice the same adjective.
1 or more points for the final car, according to the originality of the connection.
As usual the firsts rounds are the easy ones so...hurry up!
