Recap
MacGyver is helping his old college buddy Jeff Stone develop and test an environmentally efficient car. However, Jeff has lost his ride with the Strickland racing team and MacGyver has convinced the Phoenix Foundation to provide Jeff with a new car. MacGyver is testing the car, which has a revolutionary plastic engine. At the test track, Carl Strickland and his top driver Hans Visser are watching and Strickland is worried that the car is too fast. Visser recognizes MacGyver from when he raced on the Formula One circuit. Meanwhile, Jeff and his daughter Charlie inspect the engine with the aid of their mechanic O'Malley. As Pete leaves to give the results to the board, Charlie talks of how she wants to be a driver. Jeff wants her to go to college first, and Charlie mentions her mother. Her comment clearly strikes a nerve and she makes a hasty exit. Jeff explains that once he wins the race and sells the car, he can settle down and not have to take her out on the circuit with him. He admits that his wife has settled down with a dentist because she wasn't worried that he might die during his job...Read the full recap
Episode Quotes
MacGyver: For my eighth birthday, my grandpa Harry drove me in his old blue pickup to the straightaway behind the Clements farm, put my hands on the steering wheel, and slammed his foot into the gas. I'll never forget the sound of the wind rushing past my ears, how the red needle trembled past ninety, the wheel shakin' in my hands. Scared me to death, and I thought nothing in the world could be more exciting.
Reporter: Which means you have to beat Stone on Sunday and you have to win the race to take the championship. What makes you think you can do it?
Hans Visser: I don't know how to lose.
MacGyver: How do you respond to that, Jeff?
Jeff Stone: I'll respond during the race.
Hans Visser: I don't know how to lose.
MacGyver: How do you respond to that, Jeff?
Jeff Stone: I'll respond during the race.
MacGyver: You're a glory hound, Visser. And you're still dangerous.
Hans Visser: It takes nerves to win, MacGyver. You lost yours, remember?
Hans Visser: It takes nerves to win, MacGyver. You lost yours, remember?
Charlie Stone: He told me that what he did for a living was dangerous, but... if you let yourself be afraid of dying, you're just gonna end up being afraid of living.
MacGyver: Needs work. Engine, fresh rubber, new brakes, drive train, heats, everything.
Pete: Well, actually, I've seen you do a lot more... with a lot less.
Pete: Well, actually, I've seen you do a lot more... with a lot less.
Pete: It's like you said. "Good ole clever MacGyver, he can fix anything." Maybe it's time he fixed himself.
