Little Mo drives out of town and comes to pass a sign that says Houston is 24 miles away. Behind this sign there are mountains. But there are NO mountains that are 24 miles close to Houston. In fact the closest mountains Houston are in western Texas, beyond San Antonio, which the sign also says is 220 miles away. So, the closet mountains to Houston are well beyond 220 miles.
Michael reports the car as being stolen before knowing that it has been "taken care of".
