Top Gear (US) s03e06 Episode Script

1 Now on "Top Gear" Oh! Ha ha! We try to cross some of the toughest terrain in the country in rental cars.
Come on, baby! Will anyone make it? - Don't hit the Lincoln! - Oh, my God.
Fly! Fly! The American southwest in midsummer.
A remote, scorching, deadly wasteland.
Traveling across here requires 4 wheel drive, knobby tires, winches, lift kits, serious off-road vehicles.
Or does it? Our challenge was to drive as the crow flies, 130 miles from monument valley to Moab, Utah.
And to prove you don't need a 4 x 4, we decided to use 3 different categories of rental cars.
No rental company in their right mind would let us do this, so "Top Gear" bought us the cars and then made us promise to be very careful with them.
The winner would be whoever completed the journey with the least amount of damage.
Rut's ride was a subcompact, a $35-a-day Toyota Yaris.
This is not the most impressive car in the world, I know, and as far as rental cars go, it's about average.
But the thing is, is it's so small and so light, that I can kind of pick what part of the trail I want to be on.
These guys are really forced to go with the main Ruts.
I can just hop wherever I want.
My car was $120-a-day luxury class Lincoln town car.
I'm gonna be honest.
When I got the town car, I was thinking, I'm screwed.
Long, heavy.
But it's a v-8.
It's got a live rear axle.
Comfortable.
This could be an off-roading juggernaut.
Sure to annoy race boy, I was given something from the sport class The $70-a-day Ford Mustang.
I'm in pretty good shape.
I got the perfect balance Don't look at me like that.
I can do it.
Since none of us wanted to explain to anyone how we got stuck in the middle of a desert, we agreed we could make a few minor modifications.
Of course, they would have to be removed at the end of the journey.
Whew.
Adam and I added wheels and tires Which is what we said we were gonna do, right.
But someone said wheels and tires and lifted it.
It's a little wider.
- A little wider? - It's donked up a little bit.
You don't need to go back there.
- Did you see this? - What? It's a winch.
That winch is almost the size of my Yaris.
You cheated.
You lifted it.
You put a winch on it.
We are going into pioneer country.
We're going into some dangerous areas.
You've got some all-season radials and a skid plate? It's all I could get.
And you've got, still, a Yaris, so You know the one thing you're missing? Long pants.
Yeah, bro.
What's wrong with them? You look like Hillary Clinton with those calves.
That's funny.
- Get in your car.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
The first 20 miles of our journey was between the deep sands of the Navajo Desert.
We then have to make a steep, 20-mile climb thousands of feet to the mountainous Bear's Ear region.
From there, we'd drop down into the boulder-laden wasteland of the Lockhart Basin before finally entering Moab.
This was it the official start of our journey.
We wouldn't see another paved road for 3 days.
Ok.
Early predictions.
Adam is gonna get overconfident and start sliding it around, and wham, end up in a huge boulder.
Rut should be concerned because that Yaris has no power whatsoever.
I mean, it's the lightest one here, and that might work to advantage for a little while, but I don't think it's gonna work for that long.
Tanner's got that long wheel base, so his approach and departure angle are gonna be a problem.
And the thing weighs two tons.
The first obstacle for our rental cars was a 10-mile-long sand pit.
No problem for a 4-wheel drive, but for us to avoid sinking into the desert, we had to keep our speed up.
Oh, that's fun.
Ooh! (Bleep) Yeah! Ha ha ha ha! This stuff is really thick.
I just got to keep the RPMs up.
Keep digging through.
Oh, gets deep.
Gets deep.
Keep it together.
Keep it together, town car.
Don't slow down.
Adam! Come on, Yaris.
Don't quit on me now.
What happened to Rut? I think Rut got stuck.
"Why do you have a winch? I can't believe you brought a winch out.
" You'll thank me.
Look for a lonely lemon drop with a sad, bearded man sitting it.
I was reduced to using a storage pocket from the Yaris as a shovel, and the sight of me stuck and so helpless in this desert wilderness brought out a selfless, compassionate side of Tanner I hadn't seen before.
There is a small fee associated with this.
- A fee? - Yeah, I mean, this really was Adam's idea, but I'm stuck here because of you, Mr.
Brake Check.
Don't stuck because of me.
Who was in front of me? Captain Rally Pants.
- 50 bucks.
- 50 bucks.
Whatjust come on.
50 bucks.
This sand is so much hotter thank you can ow! imagine.
Mother.
All right, I'm hooked.
Just let it roll.
Don't give it any gas.
He should yank you harder than that for 50 bucks.
We were only 20 miles into the journey and Rut's subcompact was already struggling.
Ahead lay far more treacherous trails, snaking high up into the Elk Ridge Mountains and through the 8,500-foot Bear's Ears pass.
But before we began our climb, we discovered that our "as the crow flies" route was blocked.
Tanner, what's up there on the right? Uh, looks like irrigation gone bad.
It's like a big mud field.
Did the crow fly over the mud? Oh, I think certainly the crow flies over the mud.
We got to give it a shot.
We could've driven around it, but that's not what a 4 x 4 would do.
And besides, how much damage could mud do anyway? This doesn't smell like mud.
This is a lot bigger and deeper than it looked from the road.
Whew.
What do you think we should do? I think we should race through it.
- Ok.
- Drag race 3 side by side.
Let's start at the barrel way over there.
- Yeah.
- All the way through the mud - and then - That barrel.
Stop at that barrel down there.
Ok first one there wins.
All right.
3 wide into the mud.
I love some 3-wide drag racing.
Who doesn't? You know, the world looks different when you're in a rental car.
You see a big blotch of mud on the side of the road and you think, "I'm gonna blast through that.
" In a rental car.
That's something you don't think of in your own car.
I'm gonna just have to try to go flat out, wide open, until I hit the pit, and then, of course, I will just push back.
That way, if the air bag goes off, it won't blow up in my face.
And if the air bag goes off, I'm gonna have to cut it out and then put the steering wheel back together so that no one noticed.
All right, you boys ready? Let's do it! Let's do it.
Holy (Bleep) Let's do this.
Here we go.
321.
Go.
Come on, come on, come on.
There we go.
Come on Adam's out to a big lead! Stay back here.
Go, baby, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! Oh, this is gonna hurt.
Aah! Aah! Go! Here we go.
Come on, baby.
Come on.
You got it.
Windshield wipers.
Windshield wipers.
Ohh! Come on.
Yes! Go! Go! Mud tires! Do your thing! Yeeeah! Whoo! - Damn.
- Town car, baby! That's what I'm talking about! Oh, I am stuck.
Again.
Coming up That's (Bleep).
We're in (Bleep).
After Rut's done playing in the mud, we head deeper into the wilderness.
Adam finds a new way to go off road.
Here, we go, baby.
They laughed at the Wright brothers, too.
Oh, my God! "Top Gear" had sent us to the vast desert of the southwest to prove that you don't need an expensive custom 4 x 4 to conquer the toughest off-road trail in the country.
Yeah! And our route was as the crow flies.
Least damage would win.
So far, Rut's economy-class rental had gotten stuck once in the sand, and during a drag race through a mud bog, it happened again.
But this time, he had Adam's Mustang for company.
Oh, I am stuck.
Yeeeah! Oh, that oh, that is up to the doors.
Who needs a tow? 50 bucks? 50 bucks? 75 if you want to get towed out first.
Oh, God, that's not mud, that's (Bleep).
We're in (Bleep).
Yeah.
Son of a bitch.
75 bucks for the two.
No.
75 bucks for the two and I won't make fun of your pants anymore.
Sold.
I'm gonna throw you a line.
You come out and hook this up.
Yeah, I just I got a little Oh, (Bleep).
Go out the window.
- Oh, my gosh.
- That's it.
You'll be fine.
You're very graceful.
You're taking your shoes off? I have to.
What choice do I have? You're gonna go barefoot through this crap? I have no other choice.
You're gonna get, like, a flesh-eating bacteria or something.
Gosh, this is just not This is not how I saw the trip going.
Rutledge, if you could just hurry it up a little bit.
Here we we go.
Splash down.
Oh, oh, oh, gosh! Oh! Ahh! Is it between your toes? Is it gushing? It's inside me.
Hold on, I got to Look at that.
Look at that.
Good as new.
Good as new.
Oh, it smell You can't imagine how this smells.
Oh, (Bleep).
This I have hit a new low.
This is the worst day of my life.
Words cannot full express the anger I share towards both of you right now.
You want to do it through dance? Oh, gosh, this is so (Bleep) gross.
We were finally back on the road.
Our next task was to cross the 8,500-ft Bear's Ears Pass before nightfall.
The Yaris sucks.
I've got to be honest.
It's slow, it doesn't have very much ground clearance, and now I basically just have to keep up this lie the rest of the time so that I don't let these two think I've already given up, which I pretty much have.
How you doing back there, Rut? Wah-wah-wah- wah-wah All right, Tanner.
Hang a right.
The crow flew through the bear's ears.
Bear's Ears Pass is a narrow trail twisting through the rugged Elk Ridge Mountains.
Whoa! The road is pretty narrow.
Our rental cars faced an 8,500-foot climb, navigating narrow hairpin switchbacks with no guard rails.
One error in judgment could send you tumbling hundreds of feet over the edge.
Holy (Bleep).
We're high up.
This is intense.
Oh! Easy.
This is getting gnarly.
After white-knuckling it for an hour, we finally made it to the top of the mesa with our cars pretty much intact, which was more than could be said for our nerves.
That was really hairy getting up that.
That's one of those roads that if you kind of get off the lane, you are going to fall to your death.
Treacherous cliff, treacherous cliff, treacherous cliff, and top of the mesa.
Now that we'd made it to the top, we had 4 glorious miles of level road before we had to descend back down into the rocky furnace.
It was a rare opportunity to make up for some lost time.
Ah, there we go.
Good, Tanner, more dust.
I don't need to see.
This is where the Yaris shines.
Whoa! That cow fricking freaked out, didn't it? It's like it had never seen a town car up here before.
He's like, "someone's late for the airport.
I'm getting out of here.
" Moo-frigging-moo.
As we descended into the canyon, the grazing lands of Bear's Ears pass gave way to hah, rugged emptiness.
We'd been pushing our cars hard all day and had made it over 60 miles, but the sun was setting fast.
I think we're gonna have to stop and find a place to camp soon, you guys.
I think you're right.
So, you guys realize that virtually every predator in the desert is nocturnal.
Yeah.
And the real creepy ones are driving a Lincoln.
You gonna sleep in that thing? Uh, II have a plan.
What about you got a place to sleep? - I got a plan.
- What about you? I'm good to go.
I'm ready.
Ok.
I got to I got to get a couple of things.
- All right.
- Let's set up.
- See you guys.
I found the remenants of a mangled RV.
It wasn't exactly reassuring to see the evidence of a failed camping trip way out here.
That is a lot of bullet holes.
I need something Son of a Hello? Well, hell, I could use this door.
Ok.
What you doing, Rut? Just getting Getting set up here.
Would you mind just getting that end for me? Yeah, just a little bit there.
Yeah, just slide her on in.
Ok.
You're gonna sleep on the door.
Well, I can't I'm kind of a big fella in there.
This is where the genius of the plan comes in.
You're getting married.
Nope.
It's a mosquito net.
There aren't actually mosquitoes here this time of year, but Well, better safe than sorry.
I don't want to find out the hard way.
- All right, let's go check on Adam.
- Yeah.
An air mattress? Hey, fellas, do me a favor and get the bottom of that.
Where's are you putting it inside? No, it's going on the roof.
You're gonna put that on the roof of the car.
Yeah.
There you go.
Ok.
Good.
What the hell is that on the back of your tent? It's a mosquito net.
A mug-squito net? And you're giving me (Bleep) with that? I'm separating myself from bugs.
You look like you're setting up some sort of sacrificial altar.
Where are you sleeping? Gentlemen, let me show you what a good night's sleep looks like.
Yeah.
You're kidding.
Got my reading light.
Got my reading material.
Actually, turns out that it's about the perfect width for a slightly above-average- height human being like myself.
Short.
You're short.
You know what? You finally took advantage of your tininess.
Away from the weather.
Away from the bugs.
I got to hand it to you.
You This is the perfect car for you.
- Good job, my friend.
- Yeah, thanks.
- Oh! - Watch your legs.
- Good night, pal.
- Nice one.
Oww! Oh, God, I hate camping.
Oh, that's nice on your back.
It's like a lumbar roof.
After 8 hours of back-destroying misery, it was time for a gentle wake-up.
Good morning.
That looks comfy.
Yeah.
I feel hung over.
Really? You look lovely in lace.
I think it's gonna be pretty hardcore today.
This is the road that, like, drops into Moab, where all the hardest core off-roading in the world is.
It's like Mecca.
Yeah, because this has been the French Riviera so far.
We covered 60 miles, but the next 70 would be the real test for our cars.
A few miles ahead lay the axle-snapping boulders of the Lockhart basin, and the prospect of doing serious damage to our cars.
And it was here in the middle of nowhere that Tanner finally hit puberty.
You guys noticing the rocks are getting bigger and bigger? Yeah.
I'm becoming aware of that.
We were now in the jaws of the Lockhart basin.
Will you stop throwing rocks at me? Still got the bumper.
Bring the pimple and the tennis ball over and let's do this.
All right, fellas.
Looking good.
You know, if he comes this way, I'm just gonna jump.
Cover your eyes, cover your eyes.
Nothing to it.
I feel like you destroyed everything.
Maybe just covered it in a nice sheen.
Nah, it's ok.
I don't think you're gonna have an issue, Rut.
I hope not.
Mm.
Almost.
Almost.
Ha ha ha! Oh.
Do you smell that? Just tires.
Come on, kid.
There it is.
There we go.
Somehow, my Yaris had made it through unscathed.
I was still sure no one would have any idea what we put the cars through, but then, the trail got more brutal.
Wow.
That is colossal.
Oh, this there's no guard rail there.
Pretty narrow right here.
Oh, boy.
Instead of getting easier, the trail got rockier, steeper, and even uglier.
Seriously? We're supposed to get up that? Yeah.
Coming up, Adam and Tanner jump rocks Oh! And my Yaris hangs by a thread.
Oh! Oh! "Top Gear" had sent us to the southwest to prove that you don't need an expensive custom 4 x 4 to conquer the desert.
We were halfway through an epic 130-mile as-the-crow-flies journey in rental cars.
So far, none of our cars had suffered any serious damage, so it was anybody's game.
But ahead of us lay our toughest challenge yet A boulder-strewn donkey trail on the edge of a cliff.
We're supposed to get up that? Yeah.
That looks bad.
You guys are in trouble.
Really? Yeah, the Yaris is just gonna come on through, but I feel bad for you guys.
Yeah.
Ok.
You keep thinking that.
Think you should stack something in front of that or I don't know, like a car? Ok, let's do this.
That's good.
I got 4,500 pounds of momentum.
We're gonna run it.
I was pretty sort of kind of confident that with the town car's high ground clearance, I'd sail right over those rocks.
Come on, baby.
Come on! Come on! Yeeeah, throw them back and I'm out! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! - We are screwed.
- Yeah.
Ah? This is town car country.
Country.
Country.
- Yeah.
- Country.
That's what the Navajos named this.
That's what it says on the brochure.
All right, Mustang man, let's see it.
All right.
Ooh! There you go, baby.
Climb right up there, honey.
Oh, that sounds so bad.
Ooh! Ha ha! Good lord.
I saw the whole underside of his car.
That was impressive.
I don't even see a scratch.
- Yeah.
- Did you hear all of those boulders hitting the underside of the car? Yeah.
All right.
Here comes the Yaris.
Here we go.
Boy, nice and easy.
Let's get up this.
Ooh! Ok.
There we go.
Yeah.
Ok.
This part is easy.
Oh, boy.
All right, come on.
Drive right up this, now.
It looks like it's crying.
It does look pretty sad, doesn't it? Oh! Oh! I was gonna try it one more time.
Little different line.
Oh! Oh, that scratched the wheels.
All right, guys.
It's kind of worse in reverse.
It is.
He keeps smacking that same giant rock in reverse.
All right, baby.
Come on.
Oh, he's going for it.
No.
You might want to turn the air conditioner off.
You might get a little more power.
It's off.
Thank you.
All right.
There it is.
Ow! Is Yaris the Greek God of disappointment? Want to just give me a little pull? Sure.
For $350.
Oh! I thought that was the going rate.
Oh, shylock.
You don't have to.
I mean, this seems like a comfortable place to homestead.
Look, $250.
I I feel like I'm gouging you otherwise.
That's fine.
Let's go.
Let's do this.
Well, she had a good run.
This is gonna get worse before it gets better, ok? You've said that to every girl you've ever dated.
That hurts.
Come on! Let me let me just pull you up.
Hey, Rut.
Yeah, Tanner.
Check out this lunch.
Oh, really? A neutral drop? Did you have to neutral drop it? Really? Ha ha! Thank you.
You (Bleep).
After my winch and town car saved the day again, we found a place to camp for the night.
It had taken 10 hours to cover just 30 miles, and tomorrow promised more of the same.
As the sun rose on the last day of our journey, we had 40 hard miles to cover and not a second to lose if we were gonna make it to Moab before nightfall.
Could have been something we drove over yesterday or the fact that I slept on a door, but I am oh a little sore.
I will tell you this, Rut.
The angle of this roof is very good for your back.
You're actually holding Rut up with that Mustang.
Here we go.
I feel like somehow over night this thing turned into a jeep.
It is amazing on these rocks.
Yeah.
It's not.
She may have been the only front-wheel drive rock crawler in the world, but the Yaris was growing on me.
You all right, Tanner? You need a spotter? Uh, no.
Got it.
That was tight.
There's a good girl.
Keep climbing, keep climbing.
Good! Ha ha ha! Oh.
That Mustang has no clearance.
There you go.
You ok, Adam? Yeah.
That was a little rough.
Uh, Adam, I think I just found your skid plate.
That's not good.
Ho ho ho! That is bent, and that is hot! That is not pretty.
Did Rutledge say hehe grabbed your skid pad? Yeah.
I got you a gift.
Thank you.
There you go.
That will bolt right back on.
Yeah.
That should be maybe you know what? Just get a little hammer and just knock that flat.
Yeah.
This will be fine.
Was it shaped like a question mark before? It's supposed to be flat I know.
To protect Metal expands in the heat.
Lay it on a rock, bang it out, bolt it back on, we're on our way.
Oh, man! What'd you do? What? What did you do? This thing is (Bleep).
That may not buff out.
Almost there.
We had complete confidence in Adam's blacksmithing skills, so there was only one thing to do.
Later.
I'll be right behind you.
Watch out for the coyotes.
Thank you.
(Bleep).
Without Adam's v-6 pony slowing us down, we made good time and inched our way closer to Moab.
Ooh! All right.
Good luck with that.
Oh, boy! Holy hell! Un-freaking- believable.
This car, it's unstoppable.
I'm telling you.
You are amazing, Yaris! This should not be happening.
Oh! Ahh! Ohh! You got to be kidding me.
Oh! Ahh! Ugh! Ohh! Holy son of a Something happened on that last excursion.
My rear suspension is much stiffer.
Rut, does it look like the back of my car is bouncing more? It does a little bit.
I think I broke the rear suspension completely.
It doesn't feel like there's any suspension at all.
I don't know, but that sure seems like damage to me.
The Yaris has taken a bit of a licking.
I don't believe what I keep hearing is gonna buff out.
We've got about 12 more miles to go, and my car's hurting.
It is hurting.
It's a 3-legged dog right now.
Keep digging! We crawled across the rocks fohour after hour before finally, 5 miles from Moab, the boulders thinned out.
We had made it.
Holy Or so we thought.
Where are we gonna go? Coming up, the town car takes a nose-dive How in the hell is that possible? And the Mustang grows wings.
Fly! Fly! "Top Gear" had us on a 130-mile journey in the middle of the Utah desert.
Yeah! Tackling one of the toughehest trails in the country in rental cars.
Whoever returned their car with the least amount of damage would win.
Adam was trying to fix his Mustang after driving it into a boulder.
Now Rut and I were confronted with the biggest obstacle yet.
Where are we gonna go? If the crow flew Right there.
That's Moab, like, right there.
That's where we're going.
What's that noise? Ha ha! How is the Mustang here? Hey, fellas! Turns out you don't need a skid plate! How is that possible? Huh? How How are you here? I followed your dust cloud.
Well, you're in the same predicament we're in then.
Which is what? We have to get to that road, and this trail turns into a foot path.
We can't go around? There's no other way around.
No.
It's like miles of the exact same cliff this way and that way.
How far you think that is? - It's got to be 100 feet.
- At least.
10 stories.
That's not so bad.
Gentlemen Lesser men would crumble.
We need to improvise, adapt, and overcome.
Uh, Roosevelt? Clint Eastwood, "Heartbreak Ridge.
" Dah! We decided to go for it, and I opted to go first.
Adam and Rut made it down on foot to watch poetry in motion.
You're pretty nimble for a big fella.
I'm getting so much more mileage out of this winch than I ever imagined I would.
My plan was simple.
I'd hook up my winch to a land anchor that was embedded deep into the bedrock Then use it to gently lower the town car to safety.
How is this gonna work? I don't know, but know we've come too far to give up now.
It's only 100 feet.
That's an easy sand wedge.
He's gonna winch it.
He is winching the car down a cliff.
Ok.
Do you have enough cable? Well, we're gonna find out.
If Thelma and Louise were 90, this would be the scene.
That is oddly beautiful, isn't it? Yeah.
Strange.
Is it to the edge yet? Almost! Ok.
Should be all downhill from here.
Oh, my gosh.
It's going.
There we go.
Come on, girl.
You can do it.
Look at that! Ho ho ho! Oh, my God! Oh! Is it ok? You got a good line going.
Oh, my God.
Look at it.
He hit the right line.
There you go.
Ooh! All right.
A little left.
Just a little left! How in the hell is that possible? It's gravity.
It's not touching anything but the tires.
Uh-oh.
It's a lawn dart.
Yes! Yes! It is yes! It is nose-down.
Mmm! Oh, ho ho ho! Mmm-mmm.
How is it? You're fine.
It's down.
You might have a little problem on the dismount.
Is it did it make it to the ground or not? Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Sweet! With my car safe and secure at the bottom of the cliff, it was Rut's turn.
All right.
Let's go ahead and bring in the crane.
With the finish line just miles away, I wasn't gonna risk my Yaris and the chance to win.
That is one big- crane.
I thought you were calling a pizza.
You called a crane? Work smarter, not harder.
How cool is the crane? Rut, you know your head actually looks part of the mountain? Like Mount Rutmore? Fair enough.
Keep it coming, keep it coming.
A little bit further.
Looking good.
Don't have to so fast.
You're scaring me, but that's perfect.
You know, Mike, you should see a doctor if this problem persists for more than 4 hours.
All right.
We're all the way up.
That's good there.
I think the crane is strong enough.
I'm not worried about the crane.
I think the straps are strong enough.
I'm not worried about the straps.
It's just the method in which they were hooked up is the variable that is probably weakest.
That's what I'm worried about.
Ok.
Ready to lift, Mike.
Take care of my baby.
Doing great.
Nice and easy.
Ha ha ha! Yes! Oh, my gosh.
It's airborne.
Mike, I wish you could see this.
It is beautiful.
And it's moving.
Hey, you.
Look at you.
Just hanging around.
Oh.
You look great even from up here.
Look at that.
He might as well change the oil while it's up there.
Is that beautiful, you guys, or what? I'm gonna go with "or what.
" It's getting a littl title to it, Rut.
Back end's coming down.
Front bumper's popping off.
Ooh! Oh, jeez! Ohh! Ohh! "Top Gear" had sent us deep into the desert to tackle the country's hardest off-road trails in rental cars.
Whoever's car suffered the least amount of damage will win.
Now we were trying to get down the 100-foot cliff that stood between us and the road to Moab.
So far, Tanner had winched himself nose-first into the ground Ho ho ho! And Rut's Yaris was hanging by a thread.
Ohh! Ohh! Oh! Ha ha ha! What's happening? What's happening to the car? I can't see.
It's fine! It's fine! Your hooks held.
Hee hee hee! Let's just set her down real gently.
Just nice and easy.
You just rotate it, get that baby to sit down.
I'm getting dizzy watching.
On the roof, please.
Not on the roof! Yeah.
The turd has landed.
You are the man! I'll be right down.
Thank you.
I knew it would work! Can you just do me a favor and make yours a little faster? Done.
Is that bouncy castle yours? No.
What is the bouncy castle for? Did you order a bouncy castle? I did.
It's inflated, correct? Yeah.
The party company said, "have a Happy Birthday," and they left.
Yeah.
Good.
That's great.
A bouncy castle is not like when you see a stunt man jump off a building into one of those huge air bags.
Th's not what that's like.
No.
It's rated for, like, a 6-year-old to jump on.
There's weight limit.
Actually, it's probably prefect for you.
Did you have one at your birthday? I had to make sure the conditions were just right for my cliff-conquering descent.
Wind is good.
Here we go, baby.
They laughed at the Wright brothers, too.
This this does feel like the worst idea you've ever had.
Gentlemen, step back and prepare to meet Pegasus I.
How far back? All right, Peggy.
For every v-6 Mustang you've ever just thought, "you know what?" He's gonna do it for us.
Ok, Peggy.
I'm gonna rock you a little bit, baby.
Ok.
Here we go.
Push it over.
Just push that Push it right over.
Oh! Here goes! Come on! Here it is! Godspeed, Peggy! Fly! Noooo! Don't hit the Lincoln! Oh, ha ha! It did hit the bouncy castle! Oh, my God! It hit the bouncy castle.
Oh, my gosh.
That was the most awesome thing ever! Yes! Yes! I flew! Ha ha ha! He thinks it's fine.
In his mind right now, he's like, "Ahh.
Ehh.
Maybe a scratch on the hood.
" "Ehh.
No.
It's not bad.
It's all right.
" "I had to put a hole in the roof for the wing, but that will buff out.
" "It'd be even worse if I parked it in New York.
" Oh.
Huh? You know what? Have a seat.
I, uhHuh? There is nothing left of this car.
I think just a couple more test flights and I'll have it.
You guys have to look at the big picture.
This was its maiden flight.
Most of the math was right.
I hit the bouncy castle.
Adam, this was a terrible idea.
- Ever.
Worst one.
- No, it wasn't.
I appreciate your ingenuity.
It didn't work.
I hit the bouncy castle.
It was gonna get dark in a few hours, so I agreed to tow Tanner off the cliff in exchange for wiping out all my debt.
You thinking a gentle pull or just a classic yank? Just don't scratch it.
Just if you can just keep the, you know, damage to a minimum, that would be pretty helpful on my end.
Ok.
You guys ready? Easy, easy.
There you go.
Ok.
Here we go.
Ok.
I got tension.
Here we go.
Easy! Easy! Easy! It's still caught on something up there.
Give it a good yank.
It's caught on something.
Come on, Yaris! There you go! Ok.
That's good, that's good.
Stop.
Hold right there.
See if that bad boy fires up.
Come on, baby.
Yeah! She lives! That is incredible.
On the road to Moab.
Yaris! Yaris! So with two of our cars still running after 130 miles of the nation's toughest off-roading behind us, we had almost reached our destination.
Along the way, our courageous cars had suffered sand Mud Cliffs Car-battering boulders but they kept going, proving that all you need is a couple hundred dollars and you can go anywhere and tackle anything that America throws at you.
Unless of course you're Adam.
Fly! All that was left for us to do was remove our modifications, wash away the evidence of our crimes and return the cars.
- It's closed.
- So, now what? Put the keys under the pad.
All right.
Yes, let's move.
- What are you gonna do with that? - I'm gonna leave this right here.
That's all that's left? Let's go.
I can't believe the Yaris won.
You know, the least damaged.
- Ah, two cars parts there.
- Lincoln, Yaris.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, you drove.
I flew!
