I hate it when that happens - but I do like some reality, as in Bullit, where Steve McQueen comes back to the police station after his big chase with the Charger and asks for an unmarked police car because, as he explains; "My car is gonna be in the shop for awhile". Realistic. No cop cars are available, so Steve ends up driving his girlfriends little yellow VW Bug convert the rest of the movie. He also catches hell for the wild chase and the dead bad guys. Semi-realistic, at least.

In 'Christine' (a 1982 film based on the Stephen King book) at least the perfect red '58 Plymouth Fury repairs itself after being wrecked, burnt, etc.

I wish all cars could do that, but then, if they did, you would have to sell your soul to the devil or something so it probably wouldn't be worth it.
