#9: Where’s That Noise Coming From?
You never realize just how important your vehicle is until it no longer works. Whether the engine doesn’t turn over or you run out of gas halfway to your destination, the situation usually arises without warning. Unless you are on screen, of course, then the car lets you know you are about to be in big trouble.
In most scenes where a vehicle is about to stall out, the audience is given a heads-up with the loud “Clunk, clunk, clunk” sound. If that were to actually happen in real life, it would almost be comical enough to make you not want to beat your head against the window.
