Click & Clack's As The Wrench TurnsSeason 1, Episode 3 of 10 : Boston Blackout/Pasta War
Boston Blackout - Things begin to look promising for Click and Clack when their most resourceful mechanic, Stash, comes up with the Wallet Vac - a robotic car-repair device intended to ease the staggering garage workload. However, in order to keep running, the Wallet Vac needs an excessive amount of electricity. After commandeering all the power that the garage and the neighboring Antique Roadkill Show's junction boxes have to offer, Wallet Vac's thirst for juice triggers a massive power outage across the northeastern United States. To save the day, the guys come up with an unorthodox solution to jump-start the power grid. The main component in this plan is their unsuspecting producer, Beth Totenbag. Can high-energy Beth handle this much voltage? Pasta War - Click and Clack devise an alternative fuel-burning vehicle: the Fusilli 500, the first pasta-powered car on earth. The positive press propels the car into an immediate automotive sensation, as sales roll in at chart-topping proportions. The guys begin to bask in global praise until the Fusilli's unending demand for more pasta, combined with its sticky roadside macaroni emissions, results in potential geo-political conflict with Italy. Forced to make amends, the Tappet brothers reverse trend after trend until they wind up in a spot they know all too well: square one.
