* WhatAPieceOfJunk: After Professor saves the Planet Express ship from being melted down in a junkyard due to the rest of the crew abandoning it and wanting to get a replacement when it has an engine failure and crashes at takeoff even though Professor just finished tuning it up, it looks like it's barely being held together by random bits of junk and moves so slowly it keeps holding up the traffic. The street racers naturally mock it, causing the Professor to challenge them to a race, and during the countdown, it shakes off all the excess junk and reveals several additional thrusters, showing off that he modified it into a smaller, much faster ship which can also teleport by drifting between dimensions.

The Professor decides to turbo-charge the ship to make it even faster than before. Leela is not too thrilled with the idea and gets the ship towed for being unsafe. The Professor manages to save the ship and join a street race gang while Leela gets a new ship that's completely safe.
