YMMV / The Brady Bunch S 3 E 4 The Wheeler Dealer

• Fridge Logic: How Greg spent $9 to turn a rolling disaster into a trophy-winning quality show car, let alone do it in a few short days and, as is implied, by himself and/or with the help of his siblings (when neither he nor the younger Bradys have the skills or expertise to make much needed major repairs to every part of the car) is beyond baffling for many viewers (and probably became the latest issue between Robert Reed and the Schwartzes). After all, serious car collectors — including those who would turn a restorable-condition car into one resembling the one seen in "The Wheeler Dealer" — would have spent thousands of dollars and taken months (if not close to 2-3 years!) to complete a car restoration project such as the one Greg undertook.
  • To be fair, however, one possible explanation is that the driveway scene (with the restored car) was all an Imagine Spot, and used as a metaphor for Greg hoping the get the car into acceptable running condition, but when the car still won't run right (illustrated by the smooth-running vehicle immediately reverting to its rough state) he realizes he simply got taken and the car is a piece of junk.
