Computerized voice:
destination, please.

[ Laughs ] dad, your voice
sounds funny.

[ Chuckles ]
that's not my voice, kiddo.

I'm wearing my old gps.

Destination, please.

I tell this gadget
where I'm going,

And it tells me how to get there
so I never get lost.

Destination, please.

New truck city.

Turn left
toward freeway entrance.

Wow.

It talks to you

Just like zoom zoomerton's
onboard supercomputer.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Engine revs ]

[ Tires screech ]

Supercomputer, turn on.

At your service,
zoom zoomerton.

Supercomputer,
locate badly bumpers.

[ Beeping ]

Badly bumpers located.
Turn left.

Now right. Left again.

Watch out for that pothole.

Badly bumpers
dead ahead, zoom.

[ Tires screech ]

Supercomputer,
activate web dome.

Web dome activated.

Put your bumpers in the air,
badly.

Nice job, zoom.

You, too, supercomputer.
We make a great team.

Wow.

If I had this gps,

I could play wheel heroes
with the guys

And pretend we had
a supercomputer

Just like
zoom zoomerton's.

Well, sport,
we just got a new gps,

And we are planning
on giving this old
one to you, but --

To me?
So I can have it?

But we were going to save it
until you're a little older.

It's very delicate
and breakable.

A wheel hero
is not a hero

Without his
trusty supercomputer.

I will defend it
with my life.

I can be very careful.
Watch.

Supercomputer,
locate badly --

Whoops. Uh-oh!

Whew.
Nice catch, dad.

Guess I'll have to be
even more careful next time.

I don't know, chuck.

You may not be ready to take
care of a gps just yet.

What do you think,
haulie?

We need a way for chuck

To show us
how careful he can be.

And I have just the idea.
Come on.

[ Air hisses, rubber creaks ]

Mom, it's about to pop.

Then it's just right.

Chuck,
meet your new gps.

That's a great idea.
See, chuck?

If you drop this inner tube,

It'll pop
just like the gps would break

If you dropped that.

Try to carry this inner tube
on top of your cab.

If you can get through the whole
day without it popping,

We'll know
that you're responsible enough

To have the gps.

I can do that.
No problem.

[ Tires screech ]

hey, chuck!

Hi, chuck.

whoa. Careful.

[ Engines revving ]

Uh, chuck,
did you know

That you have an inner tube
on your cab?

Yep.

If I can keep it safe all day
without letting it pop,

My parents will let me
have their old gps.

What are you
gonna do with that?

We can play wheel heroes

And pretend it's
zoom zoomerton's supercomputer.

Oh, that'll be fun.

Supercomputer,
activate emergency siren.

[ Siren wails ]

[ Monotone ]
activating.

[ Imitating siren ]

[ Laughter ]

Don't make me laugh.

Oh, no.

[ Laughing ]

Thank you, biggs.

One wrong move,
and this inner tube will pop.

[ Normal voice ] well, sharpen
my horns and call me pointy.

That's a great name
for your inner tube.

Let's call him pop.

Okay, but that's exactly what I
don't want him to do -- pop --

Which is why I can't really
play with you guys till later.

Are you sure, chuck?
Even if you're really careful?

We'll even help you
keep pop safe.

Well, that could work.

Okay. Let's try it.

We'll be
a tube-protecting team.

Bumpers up,

All: friends for the long haul!

Thanks, team.

[ Tires squeal,
engines rev ]

Got it!

[ Laughter ]

[ Both sigh ]

Whew. This is harder
than I thought.

Everything we do
almost pops pop.

It's hard havin' fun
when we're takin' care of pop.

No racin', no jumpin',
no nothin'.

I know,
but think how great it will be

When I get that gps.

I already have an idea.

We can build
a swing right here

And pretend that
it's gonna launch us

Into badly bumpers'
hideout.

Supercomputer,
activate swingshot.

[ Monotone ]
activating swingshot.

[ Laughter ]

Wahoo!
That's a great idea.

Why don't we build a swing
right now?

And then we won't have to wait
when you get the real gps.

What do you think,
supercomputer?

[ Monotone ] excellent idea,
wheel heroes.

[ Normal voice ]
let me help you with those.

Whoa!

Phew.
I don't know, chuck.

Maybe you should just let me
take care of these.

Perfect.
Rope for the swing.

I'll help you
toss it up to --

Whoa, watch the horns,
partner.

You almost
popped pop again.

Maybe you should
sit off to the side

While we build,
chuck.

You want to keep pop safe,
don't you?

You play with us later.

After all, we don't want
anythin' stoppin' us

From playin' supercomputer
with that gps.

Looks like we're gonna sit
this one out, supercomputer.

[ Monotone ] okay, zoom.
Shutting down.

[ Imitates beep ]

[ Laughs ]

Whee!
Watch me fly!

[ Laughs ]

[ Normal voice ]
captured by badly bumpers,

Zoom zoomerton
can only watch

As the other wheel heroes
make their daring rescue.

[ Sighs ]

And I have a great idea
for how to swing higher,

But I can't even try it.

I wonder...

What if I just put pop down
for a few seconds?

Then I can show them.

What do you think,
supercomputer?

[ Monotone ] you always know
what's best, zoom.

Let's go for it.

[ Normal voice ]
hey, wheel heroes.

Zoom zoomerton is back and ready
to swing into action.

[ Boing! ]

No! We got to stop pop!

No, no, no, no, no!

Aah! Aah!

This is
actually pretty fun.

Floor it.

Come back!

[ Crash! ]

oh! Oh!

Go left. No.
Go right.

Oh, go anywhere
but over my inner tube.

[ Tires screech ]

Oops!

[ Boing! Boing! ]

pop, don't pop!

[ Boing! ]

Not again.

[ Boing! Boing!
Boing! Boing! ]

[ Boing! Boing! Boing! ]

Whew.
That was close.

[ Pop! Hiss! ]

No!

Chuck,
are you okay?

Oh.

We spent all day
trying really, really hard

To keep pop safe,

But it's harder
than I thought.

Still, I'm impressed
by how long

You kept the inner tube
safe today.

That shows you're
almost responsible enough

To have the gps.

Would you like me to patch it
and blow it up again

So you can
try one more time?

I don't know, mom.

Like you said, before,
a gps, even an old one,

Is for finding your way,
not to use as a toy.

And carrying pop around,

I couldn't do any of the fun
things I normally do.

I couldn't race or do stunts
or build stuff.

If it was no fun
carrying around pop,

It wouldn't be fun to carry
around the gps, either.

Since a gps is supposed
to help you find your way,

Maybe sometime I could try
using it to do that.

I think you've earned
the chance.

Would you like to try it
with me later today?

Powerin' pickups!

That would be great.
Thanks, mom.

What about zoom zoomerton's
supercomputer?

How're we gonna play that
without the gps?

[ Laughs ]

Actually, we've been playing
the game all day without it.

Supercomputer,
locate badly bumpers.

[ Monotone ]
beep, beep, boop.

Badly bumpers located.
He's approaching the club house.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, yeah.
I guess we have.

We better stop badly before he
finds our swingshot, zoom.

Come on, wheel heroes.
Let's roll.

Wahoo!

Haulie:
see you later, porter.

I just have
a few errands to run.

Make sure
you don't get lost.

That's not going to happen,
is it, chuck?

Destination, please.

Shopping center.

Turn right.

Turn right, mom.

And let's be careful out there.
This gps isn't a toy.

Turn right.

[ Computer beeping ]

Gee, haulie,
she sure is a beaut.

Thanks, biggers.

This repair computer gives me
a complete picture

Of what's going on inside you
so I can fix you right up.

[ Whirring ]

Well, grease my wheels
and call me slicky.

Is that there me?

Sure is.

See, there's your carburetor,
your alternator,

Your engine block,
your...

[ beeping ]

...attacking aliens?

Aliens?! Ohh.

Oh, chuck!

It's just that
we needed a screen

To hook up
our video game.

The tv's busted.

We must have left it connected
once we finished.

Chuck, you know
perfectly well

You're not supposed to use
my things without permission.

[ Sighs ]
I know. I'm sorry.

I promise
it won't happen again.

That's what you said
about cleaning your room.

And picking up your toys.

There's still fuzzy dice
on the gas pumps.

You haven't been keeping
your word, chuck.

So, I'm afraid this time

We'll need to give you
a punishment.

Three days
without video games.

Three days?!

Three days?!

That seems unfair.

I tried
to tell them that,

But then my dad said,

"We're your parents, and we know
what's best for you."

And then my mom said,

"Until you're old enough
to live on your own,

You need
to follow our rules."

[ Sighs ]

I wonder
how old you have to be

To be old enough to live
on your own.

Wait a second.

Powerin' pickups!

That's it, rowdy.

I'm old enough to live
on my own right now.

I could...run away!

Run away?
But where would you go?

I'll find my own place
and make up my own rules.

I can just imagine it.

He shoots, he scores!

[ Doorbell rings ]

Mom, dad.

Chuck?
Is this all yours?

Sure is.
Well, the downstairs, anyway.

I'd show you upstairs,

But handy's using
the roller coaster.

This is wonderful.

But, chuck, we miss you,

And we really want you
to come home.

It's almost bedtime.

Oh, I don't have
a bedtime anymore

Now that I'm living
on my own.

No bedtime?

I haven't slept
in a month.

And I can play video games
all day

And make a mess
and never clean up.

And look.

[ tires squeal ]

[ Engine revs ]

See? I can race around indoors
whenever I want.

That does sound
like fun.

Hey, why don't you guys
move in with me?

Course, you've got
to follow my rules.

Like rule number one --

You have to jump
on the furniture.

Try it.

[ Laughter ]

Whoa!
Yeah!

oh, my goodness!

The way I imagine it, living
on my own would be awesome.

Gee,
that does sound good.

I wish I was mad
at my folks.

I'm not mad.

In fact, I'll miss them
and you guys, too.

But sometimes,
us grownups

Got to make decisions
on our own.

Anyone want
to help me pack?

There.
That's the last of it.

Let's see -- comics,
model planes,

X-ray glasses,
bumper blitz ball,

Wheel heroes freeze ray,
video games.

I think that's
everything I'll need.

Don't forget
your bowling ball.

Thanks, handy.

Well, time to hit the road.

Will we ever see
you again?

Sure you will.

Soon I'll be on tv
every night

Since I can start working

Towards being the most famous
race truck in the world.

Well, see ya.

Later.
Bye, chuck.

Stay cool.

[ Wind whistles ]

Huh.
It is kind of chilly.

Hey, chuck, what will you do
if it gets real cold?

[ Tires screech ]

Hmm. I didn't think
about that.

My folks always take care
of making sure I'm warm.

I'd better add
a few things.

Well, bye again,
guys.

[ Engine revs ]

[ Grunts ]
whew.

This is pretty heavy.

You know, chuck,
carrying all that weight

Could make you
really hot and dry.

Have you got
enough radiator water?

Uh...water?

Oh, right. Huh.

My folks always handle that
for me, too.

Great.
Well, so long.

[ Grunts ]

[ engine revs ]

Um...chuck?

What'll you do if you get
a flat tire?

Why would I get
a flat tire?

[ Pop! Hiss! ]

[ Creak! ]

Ohh. Right.

And away I go.

[ Grunts ]

[ engine revs,
tires squeal ]

Um, guys...maybe we'd
better rethink this.

I never thought I'd have to
leave all my toys behind.

And comic books.

Oh, hey, think I could have

This "trash can trailer heroes
volume 1"?

[ Sighs ]
okay.

This is really it.
Time to go.

Bye.
So long.
See ya.

It's gonna
be dark soon.

Yeah, chuck.

Where are you gonna
spend the night?

Maybe you could sleep
in someplace like this.

[ Grunts ]

I don't know.
It's kind of cold and damp.

And I'm not sure I can get out.

[ Grunts ]

[ metal creaks ]

Guys? Some help?

[ All grunting ]

[ Metal creaks ]

Whoa!

[ crash! ]

Ow.

You could sleep
in this, chuck.

It's a lot bigger
than that ramp.

[ Insects buzzing ]

Yuck!

It's dirty and stinky
and greasy in there.

Exactly.
It's got everything.

Oh, I don't know, rowdy.

My folks always make sure
my room's all cozy and warm.

I want the place I stay
to feel like that, too.

Powerin' pickups!

That gives me a great idea.

What if we build a home
that I can take with me?

You mean a trailer
like...this?

Yeah, but even bigger,
with more rooms,

'Cause you guys
will want to sleep over,

And have room
for my comic books

And an indoor race track,
and...

[ Creaking ]

Uh, gee, chuck,
it looks kind of wobbly.

No way. This thing is
as solid as a --

Uh-oh.

[ Crash! ]

Well, there's always
the dumpster.

[ Sighs ]
forget it, rowdy.

I'll figure something out
after I get on the road.

It'll be strange
without dad tucking me in

And mom not there
to read to me.

Gee, I always get
a bedtime story.

Me, too.

I never really thought about
all the stuff they do for me --

A home and keeping me warm
and bedtime stories.

They take care
of all that.

But what about making
your own rules?

I don't know.

For some reason, it seems
a lot less fun than I thought.

Oh, I got to go.

I'm late for dinner,
and my folks will worry.

Bye again, chuck.

Me, too.
Good luck on the road.

We'll miss you.

Don't forget to write.

Maybe the punishment
mom and dad gave me

Wasn't so bad after all.

[ Tires screech ]

Mom! Dad! Good news.

I've decided to live here.
Good night.

[ Tires squeal ]

Chuck?

You went to bed
without even being asked.

Did you do
your bedtime maintenance?

Yep.

After all,
those are your rules,

And I know they're
what's best for me,

Even if I have to stop playing
video games for three days.

Well, I'm glad
you understand.

Good night, champ.

Thanks.

And, dad, mom,

I'm really, really glad

For all the stuff
you guys do for me,

'Cause home is way better
than any garbage dumpster.

Garbage dumpster?

garbage dumpster?

Okay.

Tonight's bedtime story --

And the trucks were ready
to blast off."
