Continuity

 * This episode's events occur simultaneously to those of "Sticks and Amy's Excellent Staycation".
 * Tails reminds Sonic and Knuckles of the time they formed Dude-itude to save the women of Hedgehog Village from a hypnotic spell and ended Justin Beaver's musical career, as seen in "Battle of the Boy Bands"; Salty also recognizes them from when their band was known as Dreamboat Express in that episode.
 * The pictures in the Dude-Mobile depict events from previous episodes:
 * UT translating from "Translate This".
 * Tails looking at his laptop from "Let's Play Musical Friends".
 * Zooey waving to Tails from "Tails' Crush".
 * Tails mentions Mutant Commando 3, a Tommy Thunder film mentioned back in "Tommy Thunder: Method Actor".

Trivia

 * Nine days before this episode aired on Boomerang, Bill Freiberger released the title card for this episode on Twitter as a teaser.
 * The title of this episode is a parody of the title for the 1987 comedy film Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
 * The decorations hanging from the rear view mirror in the Dude-Mobile are actually three Rings on a string.
 * The Comedy Chimp comic from "Closed Door Policy" and a simplified version of the cover of Sonic the Hedgehog #201 can be seen on a magazine rack during the scene where Sonic, Tails and Knuckles stop at a shop.
 * The cover of the Sonic comic-based magazine getting simplified is most likely due to it featuring pre-Super Genesis Wave characters such as Mina Mongoose. Due to Sega's mandates after the lawsuit with Ken Penders, no pre-Super Genesis Wave character was allowed to be used in any future Sonic the Hedgehog issue or media.
 * The recurring usage of the sentence "gotta go fast" in this episode is a reference to the theme song for Sonic X, which has since gone on to become an iconic Sonic catchphrase.
 * However, the "Gotta Go Fast" montage was Alan and Greg's love letter to 1980 movie montages.

 * Even the "World's Oldest Rock" that Tails mentioned at the end of the episode is a real-life location that Alan visited during a college road trip.
