3
4	Timmy starts a new transportation service to raise money for summer camp. Centered on the mobile app called "Handicar", the service becomes town's number one mode of transportation. But Nathan, along with his sidekick Mimsy (together best known from the episode Crippled Summer), doesn't want to go to summer camp, and decides to end Handicar.
5	------------------------
6	!!"Handicar" contains examples of:
7	* AbusiveParents: Played with and verging on ParentsAsPeople. Nathan's parents prefer to dump him at the summer camp he loathes rather than have to take him on holiday with them.
8	* BlackComedyRape: A transvestite does this to Nathan.
9	-->'''Nathan''': [[CallBack And I thought the shark was bad!]]
10	* DumbassHasAPoint: Mimsy mentions a lot of well though-out and reasonable solutions for the taxi cab industry to complete with on-demand taxi services. All of them simply get him smacked.
11	* KneeCapping: The cab drivers does it on Timmy. Nathan calls them out on how stupid that is (y'know, because his legs already don't work).
12	* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Nathan's snake analogy is becoming less and less clear.
13	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Nathan's suggestion that Timmy expand his business by hiring other drivers ends up playing a large part in his success.
14	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Timmy starts his own app that quickly skyrockets in popularity and becomes a successful franchise. one that threatens to put several of the worlds most profitable industries out of business until it's sold to Elon Musk for a huge profit, and all of this is used to fund Timmy's special needs groups annual trip to Summer Camp implying the group dose this sort of thing every year.
15	* PassThePopcorn: Cereals in that case as everyone in town want to see the Wacky Race on Saturday.
16	* RealTime: Dastardly and Muttley have visibly aged since the 70's.
17	* ShoutOut
18	** Nathan and Mimsy's characterization and presence continue the show's use of them to spoof ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-style comedy. [[InspirationNod Nathan even has a poster of Rocky and Mugsy in his bedroom.]]
19	** The entire climax is a spoof of ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' which revels in being completely unsubtle, complete with all of the adults [[SaturdayMorningCartoon watching it on TV on the Saturday it happens while eating sugary breakfast cereal]].[[note]]Despite its incredible accuracy, Matt and Trey revealed on the DVDCommentary that they actually hate ''Wacky Races'' and consider it rather bad even for a Creator/HannaBarbera cartoon.[[/note]]
20	* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Before Nathan attempts his last scheme, Mimsy asks him why he doesn't just tell his parents he hates summer camp and doesn't want to go. Subverted at the end of the episode when Nathan does so, then DoubleSubverted when his mom pretends not to understand him so she and his dad can go on a trip to Italy without him, believing that his very presence will ruin it for them. Elon Musk actually ends up doing it for the sake of ResetButton and just buy Handicar.
21	* TakeThat: Many towards Creator/MatthewMcConaughey and ''Film/{{Interstellar}}''.
22	* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Parodied when Mimsy supposedly gets a woman for Nathan to sexually harass, but the woman turns out to be a transvestite and rapes Nathan.
23	-->'''Nathan''': Would you like to see my dick?
24	-->'''Woman''': ([[VocalDissonance with a male voice]]) Sure, would you like to see mine?
25	-->'''Nathan''': [[OhCrap Uh oh!]]
