Fandango

Fandango is Patrick's third car, due to Boss Hoss being destroyed in the Ice realm. Sadly it only lasted for the Neon-Pipeline realm, before being taken out by Technetium in an automobile duel to the "death" (metaphorically speaking). It has good speed, torque and handling, but lacks proper structural durability.

## Usage

### Neon-Pipeline Realm

Before the events of the Neon-Pipeline realm, Patrick decided to work on rebuilding Boss Hoss, but due to difficulties on getting a new muscle car frame, he decided to go with an old SUV he had since joining the Metal Maniacs. Upon tuning it up with all the horsepower he could muster, David and Blake helped him out with its bodywork and armaments. Just as they were finishing the last of the body weld work, the portal was opening and Lani chose the drivers instead of Tezla. Patrick was getting excited due to the opportunity to get back at the ones who knocked him out in the Metro and Ice realms, so he turned on Fandango's engine and revved it one last time before taking it into the realm. Aside from Patrick, Leo went in as well in his motorcycle, Jaw Jammer, and Mike on his bike, Nightlife, all three ready to tackle the new realm.

Patrick and Silavet were the first one to enter the realm, followed by Leo and Mike, who got ahead of them due to using lighter vehicles. Upon landing on the track, the first thing to get in their way was a gap in the pipe, leading to the outside of the pipe: a long, foreboding space-like realm. The two bikers, as well as Patrick and Silavet, were able to avoid it in time, just as Synkro and Hammerhead entered the realm and avoid the gap just as quick. While driving down the circular track, they encountered the opposition: a couple of RD-02s accompanied by a lone, but menacing, drone sweeper. Upon seeing the sweeper, the drivers focused on getting to the end of the current pipe, due to a pair of doors closing ahead of them. Realizing this, Patrick kept Fandango's speed up as the sweeper crept up on Synkro and Hammerhead. Fortunately, Patrick, Leo, Mike, Silavet and Kyle were able to get pass the door, but Blake forgot to stock up on his nitrox reserves and had problems. Upon hearing this, Patrick turned back and aided Blake by getting him to align Hammerhead with Fandango, thus drafting their way to the door before it could close on them. Thanks to that, all six drivers made it to the next pipe before the doors closed and trapping the sweeper.

Their problems did not stop there, as the sweeper broke through the door and resumed its chase. Fortunately, Silavet had stated that, while the RD-02s can still follow, the sweeper will get stuck due to the pipe getting smaller and smaller by the moment until, in account on a loud crash, they saw the sweeper getting stuck through their rearview mirrors. Just as the drivers let out sighs of relief, they spotted a multitude of drone bikers, aka RD-07s, coming out of the sweeper's front and pursuing the drivers. As they continued on, they spotted three pathways ahead of them, indicating that their best option to lose the drones and find the exit would be to split up. With no other options available, Patrick and Blake drove to the leftmost path while Leo went down the middle path and Kyle, Silavet and Mike taking the rightmost path. With only a handful of RD-07s and two RD-02s on their rear, Patrick devised a plan to take out some of the drones. He activated Fandango's new weapon, the Dragon's Torch, and started a spinout, causing the RD-02s, as well as two or three RD-07s, to get cut and burned as the cars split in halves and the remains of the RD-07s that were caught in the cross fire to roll down the track and melt as Fandango and Hammerhead drove on.

Things went downhill from here as Patrick and Blake, and later on Leo, got stuck in a large sphere with a large number of RD-07s, like an gigantic cage of doom. In an attempt to find a way out, Patrick used the Cavern accelecharger to discern a way out, discovering multiple doors that open at random intervals before crashing into a RD-07, resulting in communication systems damage. Fortunately, he stopped on a door just as it opened below its wheels, resulting in a successful escape from the sphere. Some time afterwards, he encountered a lone RD-07 from the sphere chasing him, as well as the Magnesiums that split from Tezla's exposure making a run for the portal. Attempting to figure out a plan of attack, he noticed one of the Magnesiums heading for him, which made him swerve to the right, colliding with the RD-07 and giving Patrick the opportunity to win the realm.

Beginning to close in on Magnesium, he felt that something was off, as it was too perfect to ignore. His instincts were too good as Synkro appeared from above and landed in front of him. Believing it to be Kyle and mad due to the fact that he took two wins from him, he decided to take the chance as he charges the Dragon's Torch once more to enact payback. As if on cue, he activates Fandango's nitrox to catch up and then activates Dragon's Torch just as he stands next to Synkro in an attempt to dodge by swerving, resulting in Synkro going into a flaming roll upon swerving. Sadly, Fandango's time in the realm was cut short afterwards when Accelium, disguised as Track Ripper, appeared next to him, activating its EMP and hit Fandango, causing massive systems failure and an engine explosion. Some time after that, the real Track Ripper appeared and picked up Patrick, thus abandoning Fandango. Fandango was never rebuilt afterwards.
