In the show, before they try to drive 88, Virgina mentioned the engine did not sound like it was running right. During the process to get to 88, the car appears to be having major issues around 75mph, and Virginia screams that they are going to fly apart. Then at the failed attempt to reach 88mph, the car appears to be overheating/smoking.....from the FRONT GRILL when they stop. :( Most of this I can accept as creative writing for humor, etc. But at least have the car cleaned!!!
