Wade's car tag starts with a "1". It isn't possible for Wade to have a car tag that would start with a "1" since he lives on the gulf coast. The state of Alabama uses numbers at the beginning of each car tag to indicate which county the resident lives in. In the case of tags starting with "1", the resident lives in Jefferson county, which is where Birmingham is located. Birmingham is approximately 250 miles from the gulf coast.
Wilson Bethel (Wade Kinsella) and Bonita Friedericy (Nut Allergy) would later appear in the TV show 'How to Get Away with Murder'. They played Charles Mahoney and Sandra Guthrie respectively.
