Meanwhile, in prison, Drakken has had enough of his cellmate, Frugal Lucre, when Motor Ed arrives with a large mech, but instead of Drakken, he frees Shego.

- Evil plot: To cruise cross-country at hypersonic speed, with a hot babe (Shego) at Motor Ed's side.
Personal Storyline[]
Kim is going to meet Ron at Bueno Nacho and intends to borrow her mother's car, but she says she needs to drive Jim and Tim to soccer practice, unless Kim agrees to do it. Kim refuses and decides to walk instead, even refusing her mother's bribery. As she walks, Bonnie arrives with her own car, and Kim is instantly jealous. It gets even worse when Ron arrives with his scooter. As Bonnie drives off, Kim declares she needs her own wheels.
In a car store, it is clear there is nothing Kim can afford, so Kim's dad instead gives her his very first car, the Roth SL Coupe. However, the car is a literal fixer-upper, leaving both Kim and Ron distressed, as they are unable to get it running. Meanwhile, in prison, Drakken has had enough of his cellmate, Frugal Lucre, when Motor Ed arrives with a large mech. However, instead of freeing Drakken, he frees Shego. Shego opts to go on her own, but agrees to help Motor Ed in his newest caper. As Kim and Ron try to get the car running, Wade informs that Motor Ed busted Shego out. Wade keeps tracking them, while Kim and Ron keep working on the car. Jim and Tim then arrive and offer to fix it up if Kim agrees to give them rides, but Kim vehemently refuses, claiming that as Kim Possible, she can do anything, but Ron is not 100% sure about her decision.
By morning, however, Kim and Ron have only managed to strip the car into parts, and Jim and Tim arrive again and offer to fix it. Kim at first still refuses, but with Ron's convincing and Rufus agreeing with his owner that Jim and Tim should fix it up, she accepts. However, she has to sign a hefty contract, in which she must drive Jim and Tim wherever they want, whenever they want. Jim and Tim manage to get the car running, and it is beautiful. But as expected, Kim finds herself driving the Tweebs to multiple places, which ends up in the Pizzatorium. As the Tweebs take their time inside, Ron and Rufus opt to go as well, even using Kim's own puppy dog pout to get her to agree. It goes all the way to the night, until Kim has had enough, and busts in to get Ron and the Tweebs. Just then, Wade calls and informs that Motor Ed and Shego are likely going to steal the Kepler, a rocket project worked by Kim's dad.
Kim, Ron, and the Tweebs arrive at Space Center to protect the rocket. Kim's dad is not worried, as he thinks the center's security system is foolproof. However, he is proven wrong when Shego busts in. She deactivates the security system, allowing Motor Ed to steal the Kepler. Kim is shocked that Shego would team up with a loser like Ed, and Shego admits she is not thrilled about it, but she has to do what she needs to. Motor Ed uses his mech to throw Kim, but she manages to use Wade's hair gel to land safely into a jelly, though it messes up her hair. Ron and the Tweebs arrive to pick her up, and she angrily tells them, "No mocking the hair". Ron was not even going to, but the Tweebs claim that, as per the contract, they are free to mock. Kim tells them to get it over with, but they do not, as Kim ruined the fun in it.
Motor Ed starts applying the Kepler, turning it into a new road vehicle for his caper, which Shego cannot wait to do, but Ed tells her she has to wear a disguise. The next day, Kim is driving the Tweebs to school, but tells them to duck down so that nobody thinks she is their driver. On the way, they encounter Bonnie at a traffic light, and Kim goes on to show her up. But it goes bad when Bonnie's insults hit the Tweebs. Wade then informs Kim that if Kepler reaches its threshold speed, it can rupture everything with a terrible force.
Intending to find Motor Ed, they circle town until Ron asks for a Nacho break, but Kim refuses. Just then, Ron sees Motor Ed in the rearview mirror, but as he tries to tell Kim, she thinks he is trying to get to Bueno Nacho. Only after Motor Ed passes them does Kim notice. Kim intends to give chase to stop Motor Ed, but Jim and Tim tell her to take them home so they can supercharge the car's engines, because in its current state, the car cannot catch up to the Kepler. Feeling insulted by Motor Ed's vehicle for blowing their doors off, they claim that this is personal, which makes Kim smirk, eager to have the Tweebs upgrade the car.
the Tweebs upgrade the car into the "Roth SL Coupe 2.0", and Kim, Ron, and the Tweebs give chase. Thanks to the upgrades, they can chase Motor Ed and Shego, even using rocket engines that propel them into space. As they come back down, Motor Ed activates the red button, which puts the Kepler into hypersonic speed. This causes several things to get destroyed, including Bonnie's car and the Pizzatorium. The destruction makes Shego to believe that his caper was to use the hyper sonic speed to cause destruction all over, but Motor Ed says his caper was to just cruise the world at hyper sonic speed with a hot babe by his side, causing Shego to throw him out of the Kepler in a fit of fury, but this causes them both to fall off a bridge into the ocean.
As the rocket goes into hypersonic speed, Wade tells Kim that it can be stopped by deactivating it from its side panel. Distressed that she has to jump into a speeding rocket, Wade gives Kim a pair of rings, which Kim at first thinks are engagement rings from Ron, but Wade tells them they are Magno-Rings, allowing Kim to hold on while on the rocket. Kim gives Ron the wheel, and after a struggle, Kim manages to stop the Kepler.
Kim thanks Jim and Tim for an excellent job on the car, which took some damage. The Tweebs offer to patch it up and add more modifications. Kim thinks she has to sign a new contract, but the Tweebs claim they ripped up the previous contract with Kim, as they had signed a new one with Bonnie for fixing her car, much to Kim's amusement.
As Kim encounters Bonnie again at the traffic light, Bonnie quickly has had enough with Jim and Tim and rips up the contract and orders them out. However, Tim uses a grappling beam remote on Bonnie's car, causing it to disintegrate. Amazed, Kim offers to drive them.

Allusions[]
Trivia[]
- This is Frugal Lucre's second appearance since "Low Budget". However, in "Car Alarm", his second appearance was minor. In "The Big Job", his other appearance was also minor.
- In chronological order, this is the first time that Shego has been broken out of prison by another villain and assisted them with their plans. The second being "The Big Job", where Señor Senior, Junior was responsible for her escape.
- Motor Ed planned to cruise across the country at hypersonic speed with a hot babe, Shego, at his side. This implies why he did not free Drakken.
- The close-up when Kim was going to fight Shego at the Space Center was recycled and reversed when she was about to cut the wire to stop Motor Ed's rocket race car.
Notes[]
- This is the first episode Motor Ed appeared in without Felix Renton.
- Motor Ed says "seriously" 13 times.
Errors[]
- When Jim and Tim activate "second gear," a hood scoop pops up. However, when Kim's car launches into space, the hood scoop disappears in a couple of shots.
- Since this episode is supposed to come before Tim and Jim are placed into the SKIP program and attend Middleton High, Bonnie should not make friends with Jim and Tim in that episode, since they ticked her off with the contract to repair her car[1]. Though it is possible that Bonnie only made friends with them to get the dirt on Kim or get under her skin.
- Bonnie's interest in Jim and Tim was always self-serving, either in getting something for herself or in hopes of humiliating Kim. But the only Possible she ever holds a grudge against is Kim, so this behavior is not all that unusual for her, since both instances gave her a chance to make Kim look bad. Which Tim and Jim clearly have no problems in helping Bonnie do, so long as it suits them.
