** Furthermore, in ''The Shining'', it's explained by Hallorann that in the same way humans can Shine, so can buildings like the Overlook Hotel. By that logic, it's very likely that Christine is a ''car'' that can Shine. A mobile engine of death and rage that can ''steal souls'' is not a promising prospect.

* The death of Darnell in the film may seem weird in regard to the song used, "Bony Moronie" by Larry E. Williams as Christine is crushing him. It's Fridge Horror in two regards: 1. she's pretty much letting him know that she's going to crush him to death before she's does it. 2. during the crushing, she's mocking him for being a fat bastard.
* Why does Dennis "hear" Christine for a little bit, given that he already has a car? We see Christine try and kill Leigh by making her choke on hamburger while in the car. Christine was trying to influence Dennis to ride in her so she could kill him later.

* Why does Dennis "hear" Christine for a little bit, given that he already has a car? Well, remember that George [=LeBay=] floats the idea that Christine killed not only Rita, but Veronica, because the latter had almost no knowledge of cars and was thus incredibly unlikely to commit suicide the way she did. Christine was trying to influence Dennis to ride in her so she could kill him later.

* In the movie the car is shown to be evil from creation; in the book it is eluded that the previous owner's ghost drives the power of the car. Being based on Stephen King logic, it is safe to assume the car WAS created already infused with the dark spirit that seeks love and rage...lots and LOTS of rage apparently. This kind of explains why it kills the first person to ever sit in her after being offended by his cigar.

* Something a lot simpler then the supernatural car. Why Moochie didn't simply leap over Christine's hood when she jammed herself into the narrow loading dock, instead of just stand there and get slowly cut in half?
** For that matter, why does the second guy try to outrun the car on foot down a straight, paved highway instead of maybe trying some offroad slopes?
*** Not that that would help at all - not with ''this'' car.
