"It ain't right."

It was on a driveway/lot to the right of an old stucco building. That was the same driveway/lot that Jack drove out off the very next summer when he came looking for that job again.

That is what really gets me!! It's an entirely different parking lot all together and not the butchers shop building where he originally pulls in to. *shrugs* Guess we aren't supposed to know how he ended up there :)

There is nearly a whole day between the time we see Jack parking the car, and the next morning when they are trucked up to the jump-off point. So Jack could possibly have moved the car later that day. Perhaps Ennis helped him try to fix it. Or perhaps he took Ennis for a trip to see the sights of Signal. :D

I am with Mikaela on this one. Obviously Jack drove his truck between the time he first parked it the morning of the meeting with Aguirre, and the next morning when they were trucked up to the jump-off spot. Hell he mighta parked it facin out just in case it wouldn't start two or three months down the road and he needed a boost or a tow. That Twist he's a real thinker, y'know!
Now here is one that I have been waiting for someone to bring up for three months now, and I have never seen it mentioned yet.... Jack summons Ennis to the tent, and Ennis crawls in to the tent and crashes right away. We never see him tie the little ties on the tent flap, but shortly after when he and Jack get frisky, the tent ties are neatly tied!! :o Hmmmmm! how unusual! ??? how insignificant!!! hahahaha. I guess taken in context with what is happenin in the scene, this has hardly been worth mentioning, up until now, that is! ;D ;D

Ennis's little snow dance bugs me. It looks goofy (and it's the only time in the entire movie that Ennis looks goofy), and it doesn't seem to fit with Ennis's stoic character. Jack, now, I could see doing a goofy snow dance... at least, if Ennis was nearby and Jack thought he could tease out that smile of Ennis's. But Ennis? No way.

Ennis' little snow dance...
OK, I'll never look at that scene the same way again! :) Being from the land of ice and snow I guess I just accepted it as him waking up freezing and just moving around to warm up a little, but I like "snow dance" better. :D
Hey, Jake - Why would Jack obviously have moved the truck? They were pretty busy drinking, and since both of them had just ridden/driven quite a ways (Ennis , anyway - looks like he started off in the night to get where he was going) I'm not sure they would have gone driving around town. Clearly somebody moved it, if it isn't even in the same parking lot (which I hadn't noticed), but why do you think it was obvious that they did? Just curious. ;)

Hi tamarack,
The reason I said obviously they moved it, is because it was moved. It was moved, right? ;D
