Corrections

At the beginning of the movie, during the song, a train is coming when the bandit slams on his brakes. But he doesn't hit the brakes, instead he stepped on the gas. [Big rigs of that era had brake pedals that were shaped just like the accelerator (unlike a typical car's), so it can be a bit confusing to an untrained eye as to which is which.]

When Bandit drops Frog off at the Choke and Puke, he parks in the third spot to the right of the entrance. After his scene with Sheriff Justice, Bandit runs out to the Trans Am driven by Frog, then Sheriff Justice exits and walks to his cruiser blocking the now empty spot. I didn't know the '77 Trans Am had flight capabilities. [Frog has obviously moved the Trans Am before the Sheriff got there, therefore, the Trans Am was not blocked in. Otherwise, the Sheriff would have seen the car and Frog sitting in the parking lot.]
