The limo spoiler!!!!!


After Argyle smashes into Theo in the ambulance, how in the Hell does the limo still drive? Argyle T-boned that van pretty hard.

reply

It is possible. I was once rear ended by an SUV. He plowed into me so hard he caved in the trunk and rear window and ended up with his front end in my back seat (I am not exaggerating this). After the police arrived and took all our information, he backed up and drove it away

Heh, go figure! That is some story paladin!

It just depends how much damage. The police car that Carl Winslow was driving that crashes into the ditch took some serious damage and that one broke.

To be fair, Al's car had landed sideways with all the wheels touching that concrete wall. It's hard to really drive it in that position. I don't think Argyle's car was damaged enough for it to not run.

reply

Exactly. Argyle's looked like it was still functional.

that but also how did that vehicle not get gunned down immediately by the coppers is beyond me.
THEY didn't know he was one of the "good" guys yet and John only told Al

reply

Police are trained not to open fire unless they or others are threatened. True Argyle came out through the grate but he stopped moving almost immediately. Ergo he wasn't seen as a threat. Although I imagine he wouldn't be able to leave the scene right away as they would still have quite a few questions for him.

Cars in the 80's weren't made of plastic and there was a lot more room under the hood.
