Guesses for new set: 71. German 72. dunno 73. Probably a Bronco. We had a 1987 Bronco, and good Lord we loved that vehicle. We purchased it almost brand new and kept it forever, until if officially became a clunker, and turned it in under Obama's Cash for Clunkers program to get older vehicles off the road. At least one of us cried on the way home after turning it in and accepting that big check. 74. lighthouse 75. dunno 76. my brother 77. predator - is this a trick question? (I always ask that when the questions seem like gimmes. Sometimes I am surprised.) 78. beverage, liquid, drink 79. dunno 80. Plastics . . .
