* ExplainExplainOhCrap: At the end, after standing in the middle of the road and goading the car salesman's wife to run him over so Ray could catch up with another car from the lot and and T-bone her, Frasier [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee explains the "plan" to Ray]] and says he knew it would work because of how fast the acceleration is on the car Ray would've borrowed. Then Ray states he used a ''different'' car, immediately deflating Fraser's boast and making him upset.

If they can't get his car back soon, Lenny will be fired, which means he'll go back to jail for violating the terms of his parole (maintaining employment).

* ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree: Ray intentionally orders a pizza from far away to exploit this trope. Fraser finds the tactic disingenuous and argues with Ray over it, and then insists on paying for the pizza anyways when it inevitably arrives late.
