On January 7, 1980 the North Stars ended what team's 35 game unbeaten streak, with a 7-1 victory at Met Center?
You can just make some up! 😎Zwak is on vacation this week so I’m covering the trivia questions.
The questions have not shown up in my email yet so I suspect they are no sending due to the holiday but I will post if they are sent.
This sounds suspiciously close to effort.

Im guessing Philly or NYI.

In the Dukes Of Hazzard TV series, what was the original color of the car that was transformed into the General Lee (bonus: why was the General painted orange)?

Confederate Gray, and the orange was result of the every color the studio had being mixed together.
I have a feeling we both watch John Schneider’s YouTube channel. 😂

Incorrect. (And I didn't even know Schneider had a YouTube channel).

I mean he was there, so I suppose I’m not sure who to believe then.

I just watched the episode today.
The answer is black for original color, and orange because that is the only paint that Cooter had in his shop. The car was a seized car from a robbery.

I thought you were asking a different question, as in the actual story outside show (prior to shooting) and not what the show itself gives us. Whoops.
IIRC, Jesse even drives 2 different trucks in the series, although very similar. My brother noticed it, because of the different number of lugnuts on the tires.

Indeed. I think there might actually be three. You only see it a couple times really briefly in the first few episodes, but it’s a step side from the 60s. After that it is a 73 F100 (6 lugs) then eventually later on it’s an F250 (8 lugs)
I think they randomly throw F150s in there for some scenes too. They had a lot of backups for everyone’s vehicle.
Also, I think it's in the first ep, during one of the car chases in town, you can see another Gen Lee parked on the street in the background.

Thats actually a good guess. Figuring it might be a trick question since UCLA joined the BIG. Though it’s actually Michigan in 1989.
