Episode 1083

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird encounters Gordon working on his car, hoping to drive it downtown later today. As Bob and Luis offer suggestions on things to check with the engine, Big Bird goes to the front of the car and points out not-so-helpful parts that might be the problem such as the windshield wiper and the headlight. He notices a small door open on the side and assumes something's deep inside that's not making the car work. When Gordon explains what the real purpose for the fuel tank is, both he and Susan realize that neither of them filled it with gas; Big Bird beams with pride about his mechanic prowess.
