Corrected entry: If Rudy and the gang think they will lose because they are short the one car Jeff is driving, then why not just use one of their own cars as a substitute, or flag down a passing driver to pull into the lot for a few minutes? The judge is just checking the length of the cars, so he wouldn't know either way if the one car wasn't already owned by someone else.

Correction: The judge is checking to verify that they have a mile of cars for sale. He would require proof that not only are they long enough, but also currently available for sale.

Corrected entry: Rudy and the gang plan to jam a Presidential address and substitute their commercial. Rudy informs them that the address will occur at 9PM their time. However that would require the President to begin his talk at 11PM Eastern Time.

Correction: And why couldn't the president have an address at 11:00pm? There's no law that presidents have to have an address in prime time.

Plot hole: When the gang goes to retrieve all the cars from the guy living in the desert they determine they have enough cars for a a one car safety limit. As they discuss this Jim is measuring the length of the blue car Jeff will be driving but the license plate of that car is never taken into account when being measured, so they should have already known that even with enough cars in their possession they didn't have enough cars to make a mile.

Suggested correction: They had a one car 'cushion", but it wasn't the blue Mercury, it was the car on the trailer the Jeep was towing. They had just enough with the Mercury, but he crashed it coming into the parking lot which shortened it ; the plate falling down added the extra inches.

Jeff: Rudy, what the fuck is this? Rudy, this is a red car. Holy shit! A red chariot to take my ass straight to hell.
