After Lucas gets pulled over for speeding, he learns that his driver’s license from the future isn’t valid in 2001, and tries to get for the present. Meanwhile, Nadira unfreezes Mantamobile, a mutant car thief, to help commit robberies.
Tropes
- Artistic License – Cars: Lucas speeding off in the student driver car to chase after the villains, leaving the instructor terrified and screaming, would never actually happen. Student driver cars have a second brake, on the instructor's side, that's able to bring the car to a complete stop even with the accelerator floored.
- Lampshade Hanging: When Katie asks why the Zords constantly dump them out and depart the second the fight is over, Trip points out there is no technology in this time period capable of refueling them.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Just as he was successfully wrapping up his test, Lucas spots Nadira and Mantamobile driving by. He gives chase with Mr. Picketts still in the car, ultimately being failed for his attempts to keep up with the villains.
- Pet the Dog: After Mantamobile is unfrozen, Nadira kisses him.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Mr. Picketts in response to Lucas coming back to take the test again.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Lucas learns that his drivers license from the future isn't valid in the 21st century.
- Universal Driver's License: Lucas has no problems driving 21st century cars, but gets in trouble because his 31st century license isn't valid yet.
