Corrected entry: Why is it that Rhonda, Val and the others are safe when in their cars? Earlier in the film we see a graboid drag a large station wagon completely underground in order to get at the occupants. If they can do that then, why can't they do so with the cars used by our heroes to escape their clutches?

Corrected entry: When Val and Earl are pumping out a septic tank, the hose springs a leak and sewage jets out all over them. In real life, these hoses suck (negative pressure, like a vacuum cleaner), so if the hose had a hole, it would just suck air through the hole, not shoot out liquid.

Correction: They are only safe when the cars are moving. The graboids aren't fast enough to catch the cars and they don't know what they are at first. Once they realize they are something their prey can use to escape they destroy them first.
