One scene shows the Pontiac loaded on the back of a car carrier driving into the night because the father and the Indian had too much to drink. The number of miles they rode on this truck would have thrown off their precise measure in getting the odometer to read the exact distance to the moon.
It was a good movie, but would have been better if it wasn't made out to be a comedy. The seriousness if the family history should have lead to a serious story instead of poor attempts at humor thrown in along the way. They didn't really utilize the powerful engine installed in the car, and that whole part of the plot bringing in stalling of the car, replacing the engine and bringing the police was more of a distraction than an addition to the plot.
