## Quotes

**Rudie:** Now remember, when we get to Bottomless Canyon Stadium, the most important thing is, don’t fall into the Bottomless Canyon.

**Love:** You really think you need to remind us of that?

**Baby (writing note):** Don’t….fall….in.

**Love:** Yep, that’s what I thought, CPU flu.

**ROD:** Nonsense, I’ll be fine if you all stop spinning.

**Angel:** We’re not spinning ROD.

**ROD:** Oh dear.

**Rudie:** We need to catch up. Try not stepping on the brake so much.

**Baby:** But I don’t want the brake pedal to feel left out. Good job brake, your turn gas.

*Rudie groans and facepalms.*

## Trivia

* The title of this episode is a reference to joy riding, recklessly driving a vehicle around for fun.
* Under the laws of driving, a newly licensed driver such as Baby would never be allowed to drive a vehicle in the Tour Bus weight category, as it requires at least 10 years of practical experience with vehicles leading up to this weight class.
