Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Even though he worked as the attendant at the courthouse, it’d make sense as to why Chuck wouldn’t know who Mike is, despite his job. If I’m not wrong it was established that Mike had gotten that job mere months before the first episode whereas Chuck was long out of commission at that point, something you can’t say for other characters like Kim or Howard who both frequented the courthouse probably.

[@ptrix]

Why would someone like Chuck McGill drive himself to the courthouse, and park in the public garage like a common schlub like the rest of us? He wouldn't be able to have his personal chauffeur open his door for him outside the front door and roll out a red velvet carpet for his high and mighty self. (Speaking of which, it never seemed that he showed any discomfort in being in a car that I can ever recall, what with their huge batteries, alternators, window motors, headlamps, power locks, radios, A/C fans, key fobs, GPS navigation, interior lighting, turn and brake signals, etc etc etc....

[@TheAtkey]

@@ptrix Jimmy's car was very basic and GPS in cars weren't as ubiqudious in 2002 as it is today,(there was only a few phones available that had GPS) As far as the battery perhaps the car's firewall provides some insulation from electromagnetic interference and the other lights and AC(if Jimmy's car even had AC) could just be turned off. I'm not sure about Ernesto's car which was far nicer and newer and probably did have all the modern bells and whistles. Chuck could have had Ernie pull the fuses on all the non essential equipment.
