Question: Where does Vanessa's family live? It must be pretty far south if Bob Wolverton is going up to Los Angeles.
Answer: Not stated, but a bit confusing. Vanessa's car breaks down in Sylmar (just north of Los Angeles), but Bob says he's only heading to LA (indicating somewhere South of LA). This is lead to being more like a mistake but leaving as an answer.
Question: Why does Bob Wolverton have a psychology manual in his car when he's a children's psychiatrist?
