Tow trucks can show up and hook up to your car behind your back within less than a minute without one noticing or hearing.
Stunt show announcers will not have a problem with just anyone driving through their show from off the street. Also, he will immediatly recogize and know the driver of the Trans Am as "The Bandit", and not just any other guy driving the same car.
Buford gets to take his police car with him after he retires.
Buford keeps mentioning his wife, but doesn't take her with him when he retires to a Florida community.
Hidden ramps are spread all over the south and will never cause irrepairable damage to your car. Pontiac Trans Ams are impervious to all abuse. Police cars not so much, but will keep running despite.

If you stand too close to an orgy there is a risk of "getting a herpes on you".
Cledus sleeps fully dressed. Boots included.
Cledus also keeps a set of clothes in the back of the Trans Am, in case a woman needs to change back there.
When someone says "Don't hit the eggs!" somebody is going to hit those eggs.
Use caution when proceeding into a steamy shower room. You may end up handcuffed to She-Hulk (not that I'd mind).

well, to be fair Colleen Camp did have a bag with her that presumably contained a change of clothes. God, she was so bad in this movie. SOOOOOO bad.... It would have been better for Reed to drive alone than pick that overacting zero up.

That he was. But I'll have to disagree with you about the dog. That thing had nuts. I would swear that to the God Almighty.
