Al and Steve buy a Car!

Al and Steve bond while restoring a car that they bought from one of Kelly's dates who she dumps when she learns that he sold his car. Al and Steve restore the car and they become obsessed with it much to the dismay of their wives, Peg and Marcy. While Peggy recalls her days in the backseats, Marcy confesses that she never done it in the back seat of a car. "We put our groceries there" she tells Peg. When Steve and Marcy do get to do it, they are found out by the Bundys. Resentful of their obsession with their lost youth and the car, Peg and Marcy are quite tolerable until as always things don't go for Steve and Al as well with their new toy.

All you want to do is ride around Al 'n' Steve.

Al and Steve bond over the restoration of a 1965 Mustang, which they buy from Kelly's date Roger. While the men spend all their spare time renovating the rusty automobile, Peggy and Marcy get mad.

Steve dreams of cruising the streets with Al in their fully restored car, and Al dreams of cruising the streets with two pneumatic bikini babes. After a conversation with Peggy about having sex in the back seat of a car, Marcy makes it with Steve in the Mustang, which leads to Al taunting Marcy about the act whenever possible ("You girls get in the back... Marcy will show you the way!").

In the end, the car turns out to be stolen and is impounded by the police.

A reasonably amusing episode overall - no real belly laughs to be had, but a fair few chuckles.

Trivia
It is implied that Bud is ten or eleven years old, according to his mentioning of being in the 5th grade. David Faustino actually turned 13 years old around the time this episode was taped. This is a common practice with child actors, as teenagers are typically cast as preteens, young adults as teenagers, etc.

Goofs
While Peg and Marcy are eating salads, they are originally drinking from cans in "coolies" (blue Styrofoam holders). In the middle of Peg's sentence the scene cuts and shows they are drinking dark liquids from regular glasses.

Quotes
Steve: It's not just a car, honey! It's a piece of history! A 289 with dual carbs and a pony interior!
Marcy: [looking troubled] Steve, where did you learn to talk like that?
Steve: Come on, honey. After all, I was a guy before I met you!
