    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Doug's garage is actually the real garage of car buff Jay Leno, who appears in the scene as a mechanic.
    • Goofs
      Doug O'Brien tells Tim his hot rod has a great looking short block. The show's writers seem to have a penchant for the term "short block" in comments about car engines. A short block is the part of an engine above the pan and below the head gaskets. It is not very easily seen when the engine is installed in the car and its appearance would not likely be commented on in real life.
    • Quotes

      Tim: [Presents classic car] Kids, say hello to your new kid sister.

      Randy: It looks old enough to be our grandmother.
