It is a blast for some reason. The film is literally built around car chases of all walks of life and gives little to no damn about the fact that there are any narrative rules that hold together the film as a medium. H.B. Halicki was doing it his way. And you have to respect that.
One of the more fascinating elements of the film is the list of hijacked cars. All of them have female names because of course cars have female names - they are beautiful et al. One of them - final "girl/boss/etc" Ford Mustang known as "Eleanor" is actually a character (though it is just a car) with a purpose and even attitude. It is even billed in the credits along with Mr. Halicki. (cue Sid "My Way").
If you look at the list of the names of the cars featured in the film outside context - you will get a fine little found poem made of female names. It can be anything you want. You can rearrange the list by the length of the names or by alphabet or randomize it.
