{{TB|Is everything all right, Homie? You have that "I-ate-everything-in-the-fridge" sad look, but there's still food in the fridge.}}

{{TB|I've got those things Lisa plays on her sax.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|The blues?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No, the keys. Keys to the same sucky car I've been driving for 20 years.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Serious}}
{{TB|It doesn't even have a brand. There comes a time in a man's life when he wants to drive a brand-name car.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|We can't afford a new car, but maybe you can boost your mood by fixing up your old car. In some cultures, men express themselves by personalizing their cars.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|In my culture, men express themselves by not expressing themselves… then going nuts.}}

{{TB|Goodness, Homer, where did you find all those tubes?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Under the hood. There was a whole closet full of old junk in there.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Is it safe with all that stuff taken out?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sarcastic}}
{{TB|Safer than ever, since it doesn't go. Time to get a new car!}}

{{TB|Dad, I need your help.}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon}}
{{TB|If it's women trouble, there ain't nothing that can't be fixed with a Mexican divorce. Oaxaca's the fastest, Jalisco's the cheapest, and Acapulco'll throw in another wedding.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Serious}}
{{TB|No, I need your help picking out a car. All I know about them is how to hire people to drive you around in them using your phone.}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|You got it! Whatcha looking for -- pushrod V-8, Edelbrock cylinder heads, four-piston brakes?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Thoughtful}}
{{TB|Brakes, definitely. And a motor. And one of those cup-holders that can hold a big cup or a little cup. That's a must. Although I'd settle for big-cup-only.}}
{{Tapped Out Grampa Icon|Serious}}
{{TB|I'll take it from here, son.}}

{{TB|I wondered why someone from the year 500,000 was selling their car so cheap. Figured it was the rise of the robots or whatever.}}

{{TB|That's why we're going to fix it up. Okay, first we need to read the manual, then we need to make a checklist…}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Ugh! Working on a car should be manly, like binge-watching a TV show or eating a giant sandwich. This is like homework.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Did somebody say homework?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
