The personalized steering wheels. Because THOSE are what are important to the war boys at the Citadel, not the cars. You don\u2019t think the cars get wrecked and either repaired or replaced every two weeks? That\u2019s why the wheels are detachable: any war boy can drive any car with their own wheel. It\u2019s a part of them.<\/p>\n

But I really love the imagery of the scene after Max kills the Bullet Farmer. Look at where you\u2019ve seen that before, how Max returns covered in blood, dragging a bag of bits taken off the dead, and hands the wheel to Nux. He may as well have presented them with the Bullet Farmer\u2019s head. Because that\u2019s the sign that lets the others know all what he\u2019s done, that\u2019s the symbol of the Bullet Farmer\u2019s death, being separated from his wheel, because he wouldn\u2019t have given it up alive.<\/p>\n

And THATS why Nux reacts the way he does when Slit tries to take his wheel in the beginning. It\u2019s not about missing the thrill of the pursuit, or losing his car to someone else like when they took Max\u2019s car. It\u2019s because by taking Nux\u2019s wheel, Slit is declaring him already dead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Another detail I want to add to this: when Nux crashes the war rig and dies, the wheel they took from the Bullet Farmer flies out towards the screen. Again, losing the wheel means losing their life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
