!Tropes from "Muffy Takes the Wheel" include:
* LiteralMetaphor: When Ed shows Muffy a CoolCar that she should model hers on, he says that "it's got 'Derby Winner' written all over it!" Then he closes the door to reveal that exact text written on the car.
* TheParentProducedProject: Deconstructed. The episode's conflict revolves around Muffy wanting to build a car on her own, but she feels like Ed is taking it over. He's genuinely helping and doesn't come off as too pushy, and he had entered a similar contest as a kid. However, Muffy feels guilty about taking what's basically his work and passing it off as her own. In the end, she makes her own car at the last minute rather than using her father's.
* SecondPlaceIsForWinners: Muffy narrowly loses to George's car, but she and her father aren't discouraged. Instead, they go for a drive in a real CoolCar.
