Where the panel of doctors explain his injuries, they tell him he had a Le Fort III fracture which means broken facial bones on both sides of his face. But the left side of his face looks undamaged. [I had a friend who fell and smashed her face; she looked completely fine and still had 3 fractures.]

When David and his friend are in the car and have just parked in front of David's building, David is just getting out of his car, and an employee of his is coming to talk to him, it is on a busy street with cars parked along the curb in front of the Mustang and behind it. The next shot, a long shot, the street and the curb is empty except for the Mustang. [There is no mistake in this scene. It's the same traffic. If you look carefully, when David opens the car, you can see a red bike and a Mercedes coming. When the shot changes to show the side of the car, the bike and the Mercedes passes.]

The inspection sticker on Tom Cruise's car reads "2/30/01." February only has 28 or 29 days. You can see the sticker clearly in the opening scene in Times Square, and right before he gets into the car with Cameron Diaz. [Vanilla Sky has a lot of symbolism and hidden meanings. I'm sure that Cameron Crowe realized that there are not 30 days in the month of Feb. The tone of the movie suggests that it is all a dream and this is just an indicator of that very idea.]
