They end up driving down the interstate in the wrong direction. A car, across the median, sees them and starts shouting "Hey, you're going the wrong way!" Del wakes up and hears them, then turns to Neal and says "they say we're going the wrong way?" Neal replies "how the hell do they know where we're going?"

"Ya, how would they know that?"

Seconds later they're looking at the oncoming headlights of two semi trucks. Sparks fly, Neal sees Del as the devil and then they both, briefly, turn into skeletons.
This is totally my favourite scene, I was going to list it but I will just quote your post instead.

It was on HBO here a few weeks ago and I made my kids watch it. They failed to see the humour.
