Visible crew/equipment: When Bobby returns to find his car totally taken apart at the front, when he says "how much?", you can see the head of a crew-member reflected in the windsheild.
Continuity: When Bobby is in the diner, he is given his bottle of beer. In the two shots before the Sheriff drops the pot of coffee between the shots Bobby's bottle of beer moves it's location on the diner bar.
