* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: If nothing else good can be said about the show, at least [[Music/TheWho John Entwistle]] composed some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUdmvetF8wA pretty kickin' songs]] for the soundtrack.
* IAmNotShazam: ''Van-Pires'' is the name of the villains, not the heroes. Although the Motor-Vators need fuel like the villains (thus making them Van-Pires as well) they don't refer to themselves as such outside of the first episode.
* SoBadItsGood: The bizarre premise, cheap effects, and neverending stream of bad puns certainly make it a treat to watch.
* SpecialEffectsFailure:
** The CGI generally looks cheap even by the standards of its time, but the real problem is that the producers seem unable to integrate CG elements into a live-action scene, leading to various... oddities.
** And the one time live actors and CGI appear onsceeen together ("The Swarm Storm"), we find out ''why'' that is normally avoided. Namely, the live actor is surrounded by a ''hideously'' obvious green-screen halo.
