Sam asked Rick Riordan:

How often do you reference pop culture in your works, outside of conversations between characters? (I remember you mentioning a 1967 Chevy Impala and was freaking out because it's a direct tie to Supernatural, the TV show, and didn't know if instances like that are on purpose or mostly coincedental).

Rick Riordan Actually the 67 Chevy thing was a TOTAL coincidence. I have never watched Supernatural. No one believes me though, and this has been pointed out to me about 1,568,321 times. Writers consume pop culture too! I watch TV, listen to music, etc.
