Checking out the car, I think KJ-52 sang about this one, “your car is a piece of junk”.

“Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?”
