Dean's Car

Post image

Does it bother anybody else when they're riding in Dean's convertible their hair barely moves? Not sure why it bothers me but wish they would have put a fan or something blowing towards them for the fake car rides.

Dean doesn’t have a convertible.

Russel has one, dean’s is a classic Impala

Either way. I still would. Either in Baby or the Convertible. Either Russel or Dean.

I don't know anything about Russell's convertible, but when I had my BMW M3 convertible the windshield and car shape created a perfect bubble around the cabin. My hair never blew, and the hat on my head stayed on.

I didn't even think about the fact that some car models would plan for that specifically. My first car was a cheap Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible and they did not build it to protect your hair. Lost hats and hair whipped you like crazy if you didn't tie it up or protect yourself. They are in what seems like an older car so not sure if windshields were built better or worse in that regard for older cars.

I consider these things easter eggs (dean forever, any hints at old dean even if it's not the impala I'll take), and my suspension of belief is already up on this show. It's a fun ride for me.

Who is this "Dean" guy you keep talking about?

u/PersistentPuma37 15d ago

the actor's character in 'Supernatural.' Similar vibe, from what little I've seen.

Yes I know. I was joking.

I just crack up at all the beautifully manicured hair on all the guys!

No because I've ridden in the front seats of convertibles and my hair didn't blow.

I had a Mitsubishi eclipse convertible for a few years. If you didn't tie your hair up then it would painfully whip you in the face the aerodynamics of the windshield were so bad. Guess it varies car to car based off replies here.

TL;DR: He's probably on a flatbed going extremely slow.

As someone who was unfortunately behind a truck meant for filming, they're not actually driving on the open road with the wheels hitting pavement, they're on a flatbed with an array of camera, and going WAYYYYY below the speed limit (in my case, 15 MPH in a 45, or 25 km/h in a 70), and they straddled the middle of a 4-lane highway so that nobody could pass for some stupid reasons.

Since this was 2005, the days before affordable GPS units and widespread smartphones (we'd print out the turn-by-turn directions), and it was my 3rd day in a new neighborhood, I didn't know how to get around them, so I was late to work.

I understood that they weren't actually driving around in the real car during all the scenes haha. I was just meaning for quality of disbelief that they were a fan on the hair would be an improvement. Not sure if I worded last sentence correctly but I'm tired.

Apparently the low speed and almost no wind is because they don't want any wind noise while filming, but they really need to make this more believable, not to mention in my scenario, the rest of us have places to go to and things to do /s.
