Apparently, Bulgy got stuck under a bridge a few years back, and since then he’s been relegated to being a henhouse, sitting in a field all day as a home for chickens. This normally wouldn’t be disturbing, except for the fact that Bulgy, like all the other vehicles on the island, is a sentient being, aware of his surroundings and capable of thought and emotion. Imagine if you had a small fender bender, and as punishment you were forced to sit in a field for several years with only the clucking of some egg-laying hens to console you.

Further adding to the insult, consider that Bulgy has a driver. Does he share no responsibility for this? If not, then why does Bulgy even need a driver?

Too many questions. I think I need to hide the Thomas DVD and cue up The Incredibles for the 73rd time.
