Trivia
Since John Kennedy appears to be the current President, this episode takes place around 1962. With Max at 17 years old at the time, he was born around 1945 thus making this series take place in 2011.
The fact that Max used to be an astronaut was mentioned again in this episode, the first mention of it being in The Return. It is also mentioned once again how he was supposed to go to the moon with NASA but ended up leaving before he had the chance, though he eventually made it to the moon under different terms.
This episode features the least amount of alien changes for Ben with him only transforming once.
Many comparisons between Max and Kevin are made within this episode such as how Max was Kevin's age (17) when he met Verdona, and his general personality greatly reflected Kevin's. It is also mentioned that Max had built his car basically from scratch in a similar fashion to Kevin and his respective car. They also fell in love with anodites, Kevin being in love with Gwen and Max being in love with Verdona. (What was different was Kevin met Gwen when he was 11 and then met her again at age 16, which is when Kevin started to like Gwen). Max also called his old car 'his ride', similar to what Kevin calls his car. He also said one of Kevin's notable quote when the Synthroid drove a police car hit Max's car's back, "Hey watch the paintjob", a quote used by Kevin when someone does the samething to his car.
It appears Max and Verdona's Relationship show a striking resemblance towards Gwen and Kevin's.
This is the first time since The Con of Rath that only one alien form (Four Arms) is used in an episode.
This is second time we see Max young version.The first time is Don't Drink the Water.
Grandpa Max shouldn't of said Gwen could keep the bracelet, because then she wouldn't be able to use her Mana and it is also of great importance to Max.
A considerable amount of CGI was utilized during the car chase scene.
This is the second time Ben turned into Fourarms in the Rust Bucket. The first was in Kevin's debut, Kevin 11 (the third if you count the Ben 10: Protector of Earth video game).
This is the first time ben didnt use an alien from alien force.
Max's vehicle is based on the 1958 Chevy Corvette due to their similarities
