TV Trivia Questions
Friday Dec 1
Q: Okay, here's the last question of this round. It's still anyone's game*!
Stay tuned Monday to find out the winner.
Today's question: What brand of car am I thinking of?
*He's lying
A: Okay, this one turned out to be a bit tougher than I expected. Here's what I was going for: In the original email, I said that, "It's still anyone's game", with a footnote saying, "He's lying". This was supposed to be a reference to the classic Joe Isuzu commercials, hence, Isuzu. Few people got it, but on the plus side, I got a lot of great answers, featuring such classic TV cars as Al Bundy's Dodge, The Batmobile, K.I.T.T., The A-Team Van, The General Lee, etc.
Here are some images and sounds of really cool cars that are not Isuzus.
