Stranger Things: 15 Stupid Mistakes You Completely Missed

5. The Car With Two Lives

Okay, so we're not quite done with Billy's seemingly supernatural car just yet.

The vehicle once again joined Billy in some of his most pivotal scenes early-on in Season 3... or at least it was going to until the Mind Flayer had his wicked way with him. That brings us to one of the season's most jarring moments.

At the conclusion of the season premiere, something collides with Billy's windshield, forcing him to crash into Brimborn Steelworks. Though the crash could have been much worse, the camaro is significantly damaged in the process. Following the collision, you can see smoke rising from the hood (accompanied by a hissing sound), the radio is having trouble making sounds that even remotely sound like music and, oh yeah, the car won't start.

Flash-forward to the beginning of the second episode and Billy, in a frightened haze, retreats from the warehouse and drives off like nothing ever happened (to the car, at least).

Considering Netflix encourages binge-watching, they had to know that a lot of people wouldn't take a break between episodes - and that makes this glitch all the more obvious.
