Herbie is thrilled with his reception: "After five years inside, that's the way to be met.  A big cigar, beautiful car....aw, thanks, Marty!"

But soon we see the beautiful car slow down....

....and come to a halt.  They're out of gas, and Marty admits that he has no money to buy any more (he stole the car.)
