132	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Even compared to the other drivers of the Sky Highway, and that's just the way they like it.

135	* KarmaHoudini: They're not actually punished for stealing Casey's car, the Turtles just end up letting them go after they become human again and they blame their actions on their Mutato-Head personalities. Once the Turtles are gone, the former Mutato-Heads decide to head back to the Sky Highway and continue wreaking havoc there rather than remain on Earth as normal humans.
136	* ShoutOut: The Mutato-Heads, along with every other driver on the Sky Highway, are based on the works of cartoonist and custom car designer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.
