In what kind of car does Natasha pick up Steve?
an Aston Martin
a black Corvette
All the notable vehicles in "Winter Soldier" were by Chevrolet, who apparently had a promotion deal. It's not subtle -- watch for the scene where the bad guy's car pulls up next to Nick Fury's SUV, with the camera tight on the Chevy logo on both grills.

Whom does Pierce kill for seeing him talking to the Winter Soldier?
Maria Hill
the members of the World Security Council
his housekeeper, Renata
"Oh, Renata, I wish you would have knocked," Pierce says, and shoots her. Why is it that in movies filled with violence, small simple deaths like these always seem the most unfair?

Wilson tells Steve early on that his wingman, Riley, was shot down over there. Later, he reveals that they weren't pilots -- they flew with a jet pack and intricate folding wings. (It looks really fun, btw).

How, according to Steve's theorizing, did Bucky survive his fall into the crevice years ago?
the Nazis must have intercepted him before he hit the ground
Zola's previous experiments on him let him survive
Bucky and the other members of the 107th were held in a Hydra camp and experimented on by Zola. Apparently Zola was trying to create a super-soldier like Captain America, and Bucky was part of that experiment.
