78) Huey - helicopter from which dangles Brock Vond (p375)

79) "an unusual sort of car, almost without compression, unable to get over
any but the easiest grades until at last it slowed to a halt and would
start no more." (p378)
Vond's Huey somehow morphed into this car.
(Reminds me of driving over that one pass in Tennessee, something about the
fuel injection or carburetion wasn't up to the altitude...or that one time,
cold sober, in broad daylight, in flatland country, a tire went flat and I
kept driving thinking it was engine trouble, hoping to get to an exit.
There was no weird sound or feeling of imbalance, it took ages (well a
couple miles, anyway) and me pushing down all the way on the gas pedal to
little avail. Weird. The tire was shredded by the time I pulled onto the
shoulder.)

80) the F350 Mil Amores (p379) reappears

81) Vomitones van (p385) reappears
