One of the best episodes.

Although I absolutely love this episode, the title is a bit of a stretch.They only spend six minutes in the car, I guess they couldn't think of a better title.But the title doesn't matter because the episode is hilarious.Four men who work for the same company but don't like each other are forced to drive to a conference together.Early into their trip, one guy gets sick and the CD starts skipping and gets stuck in the player.They put the sick guy in the trunk, one of them gets hit by a truck and they break the car trying to get the CD to stop.After that they are on foot.Of course there's a twist ending but I didn't really like it.They went with a Young Ones style ending because they realized there was no reasonable way out of the situation.But it's not really a bad ending, just not the way it should have been.This is a must see.
