Incorrect Car Image
The image used in this article is of a 2001 Ferrari, manufactured 20 years after the song was written. The correct car is a 1948-1950 Ferrari 166MM. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparkssc (talk • contribs) 08:30, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

One lane bridge, two lane wide air car, why is this a problem?
Being an air car, could it not presumably float over the bridge as it is floating over the ground? Or is it a ground effect car that would topple without a suitable surface to hover over?

I always assumed the aircars to be some kind of officers, and it made them lose jurisdiction (especially because of the talk of the "motor law"). That said, I did not know about the short-story it was based on. In any event I don't think the song really makes it clear enough what an "air car" is to know one way or the other.199.103.2.101 (talk) 01:41, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

I recently saw the 2009 Star Trek. There is an early scene where young James Kirk eludes "air-bike" policeman while driving a red sports car. I wonder if that scene was at all influenced by this Red barchetta song? I immediately thought of it while watching the scene unfold. Barrydalmi (talk) 16:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
