Some pre-written scripts that contain things such as automobile make or other generic common data like that?

I'm trying to avoid populating my db by hand. Any insight would be appreciated.

Is this for practice purposes? Why not use some of the sample DB's like Northwind, Pubs, Adventureworks etc?

No it's not for practice purposes. So those sample db's won't be of much help. I guess I'll just have to resort to parsing some html that contain drop downlists of car makes and models.

In the past we have Scrapped website's HTML for this information using "Public Information" sites.

The language that suited ME best for this type of activity was Perl. Not that I was very familiar with it, but it provided a very useful range of libraries out-of-the-(free)-box
