King Of The Hill - Bobby's First Car - S08EP22 'Talking Shop'

[Impactjunky]

In this episode of KOTH Hank helps Bobby learn the importance of basic automotive repair skills and how they can help you cope with other issues in life. Interestingly the car appears to be an Australia market 78 Ford Falcon XC sedan. Although this car was never seen in another episode again I like to imagine Bobby fixed it up with Hank and eventually drove it.

When you're a kid, this show was a cartoon. As an adult, this show is life.

I'm impressed by the fact that Hank knows how to rebuild a starter. Man's got skills.

[hueyfreemanthesamura]

I'm mad we never seen this car again

[tannermaxwell]

I think it would’ve been nice to see the car slowly progress to a full repair as the series ran. Each moment occurring as a subtle application in the background. Then in the final episode Bobby starts the car up finally.

Trust me boby, when you are stuck on the side of the road with your girlfriend and you could do more than ask your carborator how it feels, you be glad that you took autoshop lessons.
Wise worda indeed

Im jealous of Bobby, I would have loved it if my dad bought me an old junk car to fix up while I waited to turn 16.

"Was it supposed to come off*

"No son"

I miss this show. Lots of wisdom in every episode.

Wonder how they managed to find a 4dr Australian Ford Falcon in a junkyard in the middle of Texas?

[Shishizurui]

Hank: I didn't know if you were a Ford guy or a Chevy guy
Bobby: Oh I want a Toyota - Scotty Kilmer on Youtube says its the best car ever
Hank: Bwahahahaha

How to rebuild a starter
>Take the starter out
>Buy another one
>Return old one for core charge

"Does this even have wheels?"

"We found Bobby's car."

[kendallpigg]

This reminds me of me and my Dad. He wanted me to be a mechanic, I was hellbent on being a sensitive artist. Now that I'm into old cars, I imagine him looking down and smiling to see the 69 Ford pickup in my driveway.

"It'll stay in the garage"

Ahh, these father son moments seem like good stuff. Always been a little jealous of parents.

Bobby Hill's my favorite character in any animated series. He's a good kid with a good heart in an environment that doesn't understand him, but likes him anyway.

[andieallison]

I love that Stacy knows more about car repair and what to do/use than Bobby does.

[wojciechgrodnicki]

“Is this even a vehicle?” That’s a legally relevant question when a machine has no wheels and doesn’t run. Salvage title?

[jamescrihfield]

That car has been sitting for so long there's flowers growing off the top of the engine.. I love all the little details in this show from dialogue to physical elements it's pretty great and very underrated

This is exactly the car that everyone needs to start out with. They could learn how to fix it up and when they turn 16 that can drive it and appreciate the hard work they did. Much more of a valuable lesson then just buying a new car
