Dialogue

Pt. 1

After completing End of the Road Your car just died right in front of this gas station! Perfect timing, huh? Hello, folks. Boy, that was quite a racket your car was making...until it suddenly went completely silent. Is that a bad sign? Not for me. I'm putting a new deck on my house. *grumble* Could be worse. You could be having a heart attack. I wish! Task: "Collect Mufflers" (x115). Task: "Make Homer Get His Car Checked Out". The job takes place at the Parking Lot Lot Lot, a Parking Lot, Shop, or the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. So how bad is it? Well, your transmission is shot, your suspension's collapsed, the brakes are worn down — do you want me to go on? Is the carburetor loose? Uh, no... I told you that wasn't the problem, Marge. ...'cause I couldn't find it. It must have fallen out a few miles back. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Gasso Station

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 I can't live without a car! I have to drive to work. And to Moe's when I'm pretending to take my car to get it serviced. I'm sorry, sir, but there's no way I can get this vehicle back on the road. Wait a second, Dad! I'm sure I can get his car working again — at least long enough for us to be able to charge him. Billy, we've been over this. You're not ready yet. Couldn't we at least let him try? Last week he connected an air intake hose to a water pump. ... And is that ba—? Yeah, it's bad. But at least he didn't connect a water intake hose to an air pump. Hush! Don't give him any ideas! Task: "Collect Mufflers" (x115). Task: "Make Homer Beg Mechanic to Let Billy Fix His Car". The job takes place at the Gasso Station, a Shop, or the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. I believe in you, Billy! And now your car is on fire. D'oh! It was an honest mistake! I was being very honest when I touched those wires together by mistake. Son, you just don't have the touch. Except when it comes to touching wires together! Hah! What are you laughing at? Your car is on fire. At least he didn't connect a water hose to the air pump. That might have put out the fire. D'oh! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Billy

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 What are we going to do now? I'll get a rental car while we go car shopping. Our insurance should cover it. Do you want me to give you a ride to the rental place? That's okay. I already called Lenny. He'll give me a ride. To the car rental place? Eventually. Task: "Collect Mufflers" (x115). Task: "Make Homer Make a "Pit Stop" at Moe's".

If you have Platinum Protection, I can rent you a 2022 sports car with satellite radio. *looks at card* Uh-oh. Is that a Platinum Protection uh-oh? No, sir. You have Aluminum Foil Protection. And what can I get with that? A 1974 hatchback with an eight-track player. Uh-oh. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Renter-Prise Dent-A-Car

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Time for some family car shopping! Aw, Dad, I thought we were getting frosty chocolate milkshakes! *suck suck* Maggie's right. Suck suck. Quit complaining. We're going to Kliff's Kar Chalet. Homer, I don't think we can afford anything here. Marge, the sticker price is for the rubes. Watch me wheel and deal the pants off this sales guy. Sir, you deserve a car that matches you in every way: Rugged, powerful, and hardworking. The Road Monster XXXL 550! Here, take my pants! Task: "Collect Mufflers" (x155).

Quest reward: 100 and 10 Road Monster XXXL 550

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 Homer, this is ridiculous. There's no way we can afford it! Relax, Marge. Watch and learn. So Kliff, you know how I became an astronaut and now every billionaire on earth wants to go into space, too? You give me one of these Road Monster XXXL 550s for free and you'll have to fight those space billionaire buyers off with a stick. I tell you what Homer, you pay full price for the Road Monster, and when the first billionaire buys one, I'll give you this Kliff's Kar Chalet travel mug. Ooooh, it keeps liquids both hot AND cold! You got yourself a deal. Maybe Maggie can use it as a sippy cup. *suck suck* Let me just run your credit and...oh...I've never seen a NEGATIVE number come up. Is that bad? It is for me. I was hoping to use this sale to put a new deck on my house. Aw! Isn't there something you can do for us? There is! I'm going to send you to a buddy of mine who I think can put you in something more in your price range. Can I have my pants back? Not with that credit rating. Task: "Collect Mufflers" (x195). Task: "Make Simpsons Follow Kliff's Directions" (x5). The jobs take place at Springfield Dump, a Brown House, or the Simpson House and take 4 hours. The Auto Yard? Homer, this is a junk yard!

My car broke down and Kliff sent us here to find one we could afford. Well, at least you got out of there with your pants. These are rentals. Quest reward: 200 and 20 Auto Yard
