* MommyMobile: The Wagon Queen Family Truckster, a symbol of everything ugly and hideous about American station wagons in the '70s and early '80s. Even discounting its [[TheAllegedCar mechanical problems]], it symbolized Clark's status as a dull, boring suburban dad.

* ArtisticLicenseCars: After waking up and realizing he's behind the wheel of a runaway car, he slams on the breaks and jerks the wheel, causing the car to screech into a turn until it's barrelling backwards before doing it again and having the car briefly rolling forward until he hits the breaks. Suddenly ending up going backwards with a car in drive is not good for the vehicles transmission. To say nothing of the Truckster still being fully operational with just a few hours of repair after an engine-first nose landing,followed by the rest of car slamming down hard enough to blow out the tires and bend the axles.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: The police officer who pulls Clark over on the assumption he intentionally dragged a dog to death certainly thinks so.

* TranquilFury: Soon after leaving the campsite, the family finds themselves pulled over by a police officer on a motorcycle. The officer walks up to Clark's window with a disgusted expression, orders Clark out of the car and when Clark questions why he was pulled over, the officer calmly tells him to shut his mouth before threatening him and forcibly dragging Clark to the rear of car where we see the reason for the roadside stop and the officer's agression; [[spoiler: Clark left Dinky's leash attached to the rear bumper which lead to the animal accidentally being dragged to death behind the car]] and the officer thinks he did it on purpose.
-->'''Clark''': Hello officer, what's the problem?
-->'''Officer''': ''[removes sunglasses, revealing a DeathGlare before disapprovingly shaking his head]'' Get out of the car.
-->'''Clark''': ''[looks to Ellen and shrugs before exiting the car]'' I don't think I was speeding, was I weaving or something?
-->'''Officer''': Shut your mouth, sir. You know, if I wasn't in uniform I'd split your skull with the butt of this revolver faster than you could say "police brutality".
-->'''Clark''': ''[shaken]'' Well, officer, whatever it is I've done, I'm sure I can explain-
-->'''Officer''': ''[grabs Clark by the arm and forcibly pulls him over to the rear of the car where he holds up the tattered remains of Dinky's empty collar with the leash attached to the car's rear bumper]'' Explain this, you son of a bitch.
-->'''Clark''': ''[realizes both his mistake and what it looks like]'' Oh my God...
