Theme Week, Part Templeton

Lessons From "The A Team" Week! Cars explode a minimum of 3 times


Okay, seriously? Part "Templeton"? Who names their kid Templeton?


Mrs. Peck, I assume...as well as the parents of 2212 other people in the US, if the Internets are to be believed.


So today's Lesson from The A Team seems to be an important safety tip for would-be crime syndicate leaders.


Not just the leaders, mind you...it may actually apply more directly to the hired goons. After all, they're the ones who are going to be in the firefight at the end of the episode than the bosses.

It's very important to know that if you're driving into battle against The A Team, that your car is basically cannon fodder. By the end of it, it's going to have a radiator leak due to a bullet, or flat tires at the very least. More often, it will be crushed by some kind of heavy equipment, flipped onto its roof (don't worry, you'll be perfectly safe inside if this happens), or blown up. The interesting part of the car blowing up is that your car will very quickly succumb to a fiery ball of explosion that will actually leave the car almost entirely intact, except for the flames. Here's where the trick is...because you may think that the car is still serviceable and want to move back towards it, but you really shouldn't. There are at least two more fiery explosions waiting for it. That can get dangerous, so stay away and concentrate on the upcoming hand to hand combat.

If you don't believe me, watch any episode of The A Team where a car explodes. (That would be most of them) Three explosions, minimum!
