Since that time, college education has gotten so expensive that it isn't uncommon for people to take at least 5 years to work towards their degree.

* HarsherInHindsight: The characters' fears of the Callahan factory potentially shutting down and having Sandusky go down with it have gotten worse thanks to businesses implementing lay-offs due to the shaky global economy and causing economic downturns for cities, notably in Flint, MI, which we see Tommy and Richard pass through.

* FridgeLogic: When Tommy is being pulled over by the police, he comments that the police will never believe he wasn't drinking even though a simple breathalyzer test would prove he was sober. However, consumption of alcohol inside a motor vehicle is illegal in Ohio and can result in a 30 day jail sentence.
