When I found out the premise of this episode, I honestly didn't THINK the writers COULD make it work very well as a premise; but they found a way to surprise me! It looks like Pearl is now 18 and is now FINALLY ready to have her OWN car...the trouble is, even though Mr. Krabs actually PROMISED to give her a new car and Pearl HAS recorded proof of it; he's NOT willing to pay 10,000 clams to buy a new one! So, Mr. Krabs instead decides to fix up a broken version of the car with Spongebob's help. While they're able to get the outside of the car looking brand new, they're unable to get a car engine BEFORE Pearl wakes up! Not having time to think up of a better place to hide, they hide inside the car where the engine SHOULD be! And because Pearl WANTS to take her car for a test drive, Spongebob and Mr. Krabs have no choice but to ACT like the engine as best as they can. While Pearl thankfully doesn't DRIVE crazy, she still drives more aggressively than either Spongebob and Mr. Krabs would like. Pearl first picks up some of her friends to go for a joy ride, than she rides up next to a crew of sharks. The leader named Shark Face (guest voiced by Henry Winkler himself), challenges Pearl to a drag race. And BECAUSE Shark Face had the NERVE to unknowingly call Mr. Krabs a cheapskate, Mr. Krabs decides to help Pearl actually WIN the race; and helps run Shark Face and his gang of sharks OFF the road! Unfortunately, this makes Pearl DRUNK with power and makes her feel invincible; so she decides to enter her car into a demolition derby! While she actually manages to WIN the derby, the toll is too much for Spongebob and Mr. Krabs to take; and it practically BREAKS them as much as it breaks Pearl's car! It takes the mechanic to get the two out of the car, and Pearl is NOT pleased that Mr. Krabs once again tried to CHEAP out even after PROMISING to give Pearl EXACTLY what she asked for! As laser-guided karma, Pearl takes Mr. Krabs' credit card, and uses it to buy the two MOST expensive racing cars that the car mechanic has! When will Mr. Krabs EVER learn to NOT cheap out when it comes to his daughter? It will ALWAYS end up costing him MORE in the long run! I'd give this episode segment a 9.9 out of 10! Enough said, true believers!
