[Mad Max: Fury Road] How does Max have his V8 Interceptor in the film? It was destroyed in Fury Road as well as in The Road Warrior, and it was also the last of the V8s.

Max's interceptor is said in both *Mad Max* and *The Road Warrior* to be "the last of the V8s", meaning there are no other supercharged V8 interceptors besides the one he drives. We see in *The Road Warrior* that Max's interceptor is destroyed by Humongous's gang running Max off the road, and Max's failsafe blowing up the remains of the car.

However, in *Fury Road* Max still has his interceptor. *Fury Road* cannot possibly take place before *The Road Warrior* because Max's interceptor is again destroyed in the chase back to Joe's stronghold, and *Fury Road* cannot take place after *The Road Warrior* because, again, Max's interceptor is intact. 

And **DO NOT** tell me he salvaged it after the events of *Fury Road*, because we all saw that shit explode.

For me, the most satisfying explanation is that Mad Max is a legend of the wasteland, who exists in the stories of its inhabitants – elders tell tales of him to the little engineheads, to give them a little bit of hope, a little bit of wonder, that someone like Max walks the sands.

So each of the Mad Max films are just different stories being told around a greasefire. That’s why Max looks different, or doesn’t seem to get older, or how his V8 gets proper trashed but then reappears full chrome – it’s someone else telling the story.
