I looked #1 up after I answered - Pennsylvania is correct. So, if Piggly Wiggly is correct, I knew the answers to all five questions today. I think that's the first time that's ever happened (for me, anyway).

4.  Corsica (Awful car!)

5. The Admiral 

I loved the Corsica! That car lasted through anything. Sold my first one to my brother when I got a new one, and when he got his truck, he sold Corsica1 to a buddy of his. Last we heard (obv this was decades ago), Corsica1 had topped 300K miles. 

 

When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

They lacked sex appeal, but they were actually pretty zippy for the time if you got a four speed auto, even more so if you managed to snag a 5 speed manual. Sub 10 second 0-60 was quick in the late 80s - early 90s, only really found on cars more than twice the price. They were also incredibly simple and easy to work on. 

GM raked in the $$$ on cars like that and the Beretta back then. 10 year model run + No significant updates = Profit.

I always think of the scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the fake Piggly Wiggly trucks. So ambiguous the government used them for covert operations 🤣

3. What 1963 film’s sequel, released on Showtime in 1994 and subtitled “Land’s End,” was described as an embarrassment by actor Tippi Hedren, who appeared in both the sequel and the original?
