  • Why thugs want an old man's car!

    9.1
    By JPPT1974, Jan 31, 2008
    Speed, his younger brother Spritle, and pet Chim-Chim are off on a test run. As he runs into an old man and his grandpa. As the old man has a story to tell. Because he can't afford to feed his orphanage. And that they need the money or they will be forced to be kicked out. And then some thugs want the machine of his car for something bad. As Speed helps to defend this old man. Shows you the kind of heart that Speed has. And that we learn that Racer X is referred to as Rex for the first time. Funny to see that Spritle gets mad at his monkey for taking candy and ties him up as punishment. LOL Hillarious!moreless

  • QUOTES (2)

    • Spritle: Some car. It's a wonder it runs at all!
      Speed: That's a famous antique. It's called a Model T.
      Spritle: Who'd wanna drive an old junk heap like that?
      Granpa: It's not junk!
      Susie: That's it! Tell him, Granpa!
      Granpa: This car runs better than a clock.
      Spritle: And I'll bet it doesn't go any faster than a clock!

    • Light Fingers Clepto, Jr - He was bad. A first-class crook, but I loved him because he'd been such a good father.
