Trivia:

Richard Brooks' character in Drive was named Detective Ehrle, pronounced like Early, His character name in "Firefly: Objects in Space (#1.10)" (2002) was named Jubal Early. Tim Minear, one of the creators of Drive also had writing, directing and producing credits for the series Firefly, both of which also starred Nathan Fillion as a lead character.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Alex Tulley's Landscaping Truck has a license plate is 327 FAR. His character is from Hastings, Nebraska in Adams County. With the exception of cars from Omaha and Lincoln, all Nebraska license plates start with the county number (Adams County being 14) followed by the rest. So it should be 14 - A###

The Best

This TV series is one of the best ever made. It has unusual scenario lines. There is no other show like this. It is unique. Main topic of show is race. It's illegal, country wide, deadly, impossible to win and fast. The prize is 32'000'000$. But each driver has his reason do race. The details of reasons why they race, will be revealed during the show. Also I really liked this show because of dynamic action scenes, the work of producer is just wonderful. Thought there almost is no spec. effects, but still it has very beautifully filmed racing scenes, including car accidents in the road. The atmosphere in this series is very unstable, once you get revealed that everything is OK, and moment later you knowing the details notice that situation is even worse than it was before.
