* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: From Season 2 onwards the futuristic style of the series got lost somewhere. No more concept cars like in Season 1 and less fantastic inventions. This devolution in time setting was also mentioned in an interview with Jeff Kaake printed in the German DVD booklet where he says, that the future setting was dropped finally for Season 3. But the intro from Season 2-4 is still mentioning the (at that point not so far away) 21st century.

Exactly the same happens with another car fitted with a napalm bomb at the end of the same episode. But this time we even see the bomb car driving away from the explosion with only small scratches.
** This was subverted again in "Hidden Agenda". A Dodge Intrepid is loaded with bullets from a machine gun until every part of the car is damaged but still it doesnt explode. The car standing right next to it gets bullets from another impressive gun but it doesnt get a scratch. Only a small dent is seen from the firecracker hitting the car.

*** The car's designer is named '''Preston''' Baxley. In 1948, [[Film/TuckerTheManAndHisDream Preston Tucker]] had designed a new car way ahead of its time, before he was indicted for stock fraud. There's speculation that the Big Three automakers were afraid of him coming on strong on their old pre-WW2 designs, and are implied to have had a role in Tucker's demise. Similarly, Baxley's car was very economic for its time, having a high mileage of 60 mpg. An oil company executive, concerned about it, then managed to convince Baxley's backers that the car was unsafe, which killed Baxley Motors.
