The expression “follow that car” is one that has been used time and again in films and, to a somewhat lesser extent, in books and, to an even lesser extent, in real life during situations in which the players discover a vehicle that is in some way alluring. The practice is simpler in theory than in reality, especially when “that car” is a few miles ahead of the followers and several layers of space and traffic lie between them. In this case, it was also made difficult by the fact that neither driver nor passenger knew exactly where “that car” was going. There was therefore about ten extra minutes of trying to make illegal U-turns, discovering that said U-turns were illegal and changing directions mid-U-turn, along with the accompanied backseat driving and requests that there be no backseat driving. However, they managed to drive in and out of two or three restaurant parking lots without murdering any ducklings, nuns, or mothers with perambulators before Gillian pointed in the direction of an El Torito restaurant and shrieked, “Lookit!”
