Plot
Pop proudly polishes his new red car while Cub sits on the roof of the vehicle pretending to drive it. With the cleaning all done, Pop decides to take it out for a little spin. But he forgets about Cub.

As the car makes its way on the streets, Cub thinks he is actually driving. Pop reads a map, which distracts him driving. He barely manages to avoid collisions from incoming vehicles. Cub nearly falls off the roof and is clinging on for dear life. Several drivers who swerve out of Pop's way end up crashing into a big pile.

Cub is relieved when they have made it out of traffic. He lays flat on the roof, only to realize it is burning hot from the sun. So hot in fact that he rips the skin off his back getting up. Crawling to the front of the car, Cub knocks on the windshield to get Pop's attention. But he is whistling with his eyes closed. Lumpy drives a truck towards Pop and swerves off a cliff to avoid him.

Pop then drives through a tunnel. When he exits from the other side, it is revealed that much of Cub's head was scraped off by the tunnel's ceiling. Some of Cub's blood has blocked the windshield, once again disabling Pop's vision. Kendall gets hit by the car and knocked into a deer crossing sign. A larger deer tramples her as it crosses the road. Pop searches for the windshield wiper button as he sends the car through a corn field. Chestnut is ran over and his hat lands over Cub's head, covering up the wound.

Finally, Pop is able to activate the windshield wipers and the mess is cleaned off. He reaches his destination; the local lake. He steps out to find Cub still sitting on the roof wearing the hat. Slowly raising his hands in the air, Cub cheers, having enjoyed the ride, before fainting. Suddenly, Pop and his car are crushed by Lumpy's truck. The episode ends when Lumpy lands safely by parachute.
