*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Earl and Randy lose their father's Mustang in a race with a grown up, when they are only 10 years old. So Earl puts his father on the list, and gets his Mustang back from the guy he loses it to! Then his father lets him know that he actually got the car for him, so he really loses his own car. Which then give him and his father a chance to get close. When Earl goes back to the guy to ask for his father's car back, the guy challenges him to a race again. The guy is bald headed, ugly, and still lies that he has had sex with four girls in 40 years. He races the Mustang against Ealr's El Camino, they both run out of gas in the quarter mile. So their brother's push them across the finish line, and Earl wins. Pretty good episode.
