* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In this episode, Lifty takes the role as the superior lead to his brother Shifty, as he bossed Shifty around earlier in the episode and was the one who drove the racecar. Later episodes swap the dynamic by having Shifty act as the leader while Lifty does the dirty work.

Airdate: February 18, 2000
"Wheelin' and Dealin'" is the seventh episode of the first (internet) season of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.
A racing competition is being held, featuring Lumpy, Handy, and the twin raccoons Lifty and Shifty. The first two have their race cars ready, while the twins are arguing because their own car lacks wheels. This is resolved by having them dismantle the ones from Lumpy's car. Soon the race starts, with Handy and the raccoons making their running start while Lumpy, without any wheels, is left behind. The moose cluelessly restarts his engine, but this results in his car blowing up. As for those three, the race goes fine until they have to make a left turn. Lifty and Shifty realize that they need a steering wheel for this. Of course, they steal the one from Handy's car. The beaver is shocked and then frustrated before he ends up crashing into a parked ambulance, splitting him in half. The raccoons seem to be about to win until the wheels fly off, making the car fall to its side. The car keeps going with the remaining inertia, dragging the twins along the asphalt. The car stops short of the finish line and it appears that no one is winning, until the burned Lumpy passes by, making the crowd cheer.
!!"Wheelin' and Dealin'" contains the following:
* AnimalMotifs: Lifty and Shifty's race car has stripes on its body like a raccoon's tail. It also has a raccoon tail-like accessory waving on the back.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Pretty much all HalfTheManHeUsedToBe deaths applied to Handy, Lifty, and Shifty.
* DebutQueue: Lifty and Shifty's debut appearance.
