Yeah. Just about any low budget movie and almost all tv shows will use a 5.0 liter exhaust sound for ALL the cars. I remember watching "Meet the Parents" and "Greg's" Taurus sounded like a Mustang.

Also, you can almost guarantee that if you put your coffee down on a desk, it will move by itself to the other end of the desk, and you will know to pick it up from it's new spot.

It's kind of a hobby for me, looking for continuity errors in movies.

Oh, here's another one. That person in black riding leathers, black helmet with a blacked out visor, getting off a black crotch rocket is ALWAYS a hot chick.

How about:

* You don't need an auto body shop. Dents fix themselves -- while DRIVING!
* The General Lee can fly. Hit a curb and clear a barn (2 stories that is).
* When 2 cars hit head-on one will fly up in the air and flip over to land on its roof
* All cars can drive an unlimited distance with the auto tranny shift lever in Park.

Hubcaps somehow magically reattach to the car upon ramping it and them flying off

Nope. It was Steven Spielberg's first movies. From a script by Richard Matheson.
