Old cars, armor on the outside, new cars, armor in the inside. Tesla's, freakin tanks heavy as a F350 just daring someone to get in their way and find out
To check if a car is following you, just drive around the block. Make four left turns or four right turns. If they make all the same turns, you know you're being tailed. It also tells your pursuer that their cover is blown, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on the situation.

Vince Gilligan has confirmed that this scene took place in the future!
Mike and his silver inflatables, remember he used a balloon to mess up power lines once
The faces Mike pulls during this scene is epic.
Finally about time someone uploaded this scene to UA-cam!
More like "Lalo narrowly dodges appointment with his maker"
This was hard to watch. That drink wasn't in the game.
What a goddamn show with so much goddamn talent from every cast member.
Everybody: uses a trusty gun
Mike: uses his trusty *gum*
As much as I love this scene, I can't help but think the machine wouldn't accept another ticket while the gate was open. Still fantastic nonetheless.
Probably set up that way to be able to let people out quicker (can make a major difference when everyone's shift ends at the same time).
Showing the inside of the machine as the gum went through was a nice touch.
The details are what truly make a good series.
Seeing Mike outsmarting Lalo was very satisfying..
Mike deserves his own show.
40% of the show of one show and 7% of another is good enough
2:26 well that's a nice 2017 Tacoma TRD in the year 2003
Its unbelievable how much this show does with soo little.

Mike's police knowledge of criminal tactics reminds me of Rambo's military knowledge of how guerillas work.
They served Both in Vietnam!
3:25 Completely takes out a guy's rear bumper, and his own car is absolutely fine with barely a scratch. Can someone give me Lalo's mechanic's number?
(666)-666-6666
To be fair lalos driving an old chevy monte carlo, and bumpers on cars from those days have solid metal bumpers. The other dude seems to be in a 90's oldsmobile or something and cars from that time and today just have plastic shell bumpers
The writers and characters are so insanely good. Neither of the main characters said a word to each other or interacted, only the extra character and it’s still impossible to look away.
lalo never should have challenged him in a parking lot, this is mike’s domain
Stay out of Mike territory
Would have been unfortunate for Mike if Lalo just got out of the car at 2:36
Mike had a gun in the glove compartment
