Trivia: When Crazy Dave is putting the chain on Herbie at his yard, Herbie squirts oil all over his foot. This is a reference to the 1968 film "The Love Bug", in which Herbie did exactly the same thing to Thorndyke (David Tomlinson).
Trivia: In the first test screenings of this movie, parents believed the Lindsay Lohan was too 'busty' for a Disney movie. Disney then went back and digitally raised her neckline, and decreased the size of her breasts by two cups.
Continuity mistake: When Maggie goes to look at the green Nissan 200SX, it has a set of standard Nissan alloy wheels. When the shot cuts to Herbie being lifted above the Nissan, the wheels have now changed to standard steel wheels.
Maggie Peyton: You don't understand. That's my car out there.
Jimmy D.: Well, now, you parked it in the wrong place.
Question: How is Herbie able to come to life on his own? I haven't seen the other movies.
Answer: In the original "Love Bug" movie, made in the 1960's, the Hippie Era, Tennessee explained all things have a soul. Whether it be animal, vegetable or mineral and someday all these things will achieve self awareness.
Answer: It is explained in the 1997 version of "the love bug". When a scientist was building Herbie, a picture of the scientist's deceased wife who he loved very much fell into the container of molten metal. This accidental action caused Herbie to have love for any owner he has.
