Tim Quote #3223
Quote from Tim in Tim's First Car
Tim: After a recent automotive loss in my life, I convinced Binford to start a program that will educate kids, and save cars at the same time.
Al: Our aim is to get the kids off the street and into the garage restoring cars. Now, Binford will supply the tools and the work space, but we need you to supply the vehicle.
Tim: Now where are we gonna get those cars?
Tim & Al: Hmm.
Tim: Welcome to... [horn honks]
Tim & Al: Adopt a Car.
Heidi: That's right. Today we've got some pictures of junkyard cars that you can save from a crushing, cruel fate.
Tim: Now some of these pictures might be a bit graphic for the youngsters so, hide them now. [Tim screams as he holds up a picture of Snuggles]

Quote from Al
Tim: Here at Binford, we're not just tool people. Darn it, we're educators!
Al: That's right. Each week Tim teaches you what not to do. [Al & Heidi laugh]
Quote from Wilson
Jill: What is the deal with men and their first cars?
Wilson: Well, Jill, sometimes in our society, a young man's self-image is defined by his first automobile.
Jill: No. You're saying that men define who they are as human beings by four wheels and an engine? Don't you think that's kind of shallow?
Wilson: No, I don't think so.
Jill: No, of course, you don't. You're one of them.
Wilson: [chuckles] No. The first car represents freedom and independence. I tell you, there's nothing more exhilarating for a young man than getting behind the wheel of the car, revving up that engine, racing off to his first Mozart festival. Well, maybe that's just me.
Quote from Tim
Tim: All the way home in the car, I was trying to figure out a way to blame you. Truth is, it's my fault. I should never have sold that Corvair in the first place.
Jill: You can't blame yourself for selling a car 25 years ago.
Tim: Oh, watch me. So what if it had 130,000 well-earned miles on it? So what if the defroster never worked in the wintertime? So what if the muffler sounded like Al's mom after a whole day of Beano? Huh?
Jill: Honey, you want a nice cup of tea?
Tim: A cup of tea's not gonna cut it!
Jill: Bratwurst?
Tim: You know the sad irony, the cruel irony here? The car crusher? It was a Binford.
