He also misstated the cost of the Bugatti Veyron, incorrectly stated that the hosts had to make their way across the Sahara desert when it was the Kalahari, misspelled the Opel Kadett, and identified the agents that Robert Mitchum was fleeing in Thunder Road as customs agents when they were revenue agents or "revenuers."
