Malcolm & Eddie is an American sitcom that aired from 1996 to 2000. The show follows the lives of two friends who own a bar in Kansas City. In season 2 episode 22 titled Car Trouble, Malcolm and Eddie find themselves in a sticky situation.

The episode opens with Malcolm driving his car, an old beater that has seen better days. As he's driving, he starts to hear a strange noise coming from the engine. He tries to ignore it, but the noise gets louder and louder until the car finally breaks down in the middle of the street.

Eddie, meanwhile, is at the bar enjoying a beer with one of his buddies. He gets a call from Malcolm, who tells him about the car trouble. Eddie assures him that he'll be there to help him out and hangs up the phone.

When Eddie gets to the scene of the breakdown, they both realize that the car is beyond repair. The engine is shot, and it's going to cost way more to fix it than the car is worth. Malcolm is devastated. He's been driving that car for years, and it's been his pride and joy.

Eddie suggests that they go car shopping to find Malcolm a new ride. They head over to a car lot, and Malcolm has his heart set on a shiny, red convertible, but Eddie knows that it's way out of his price range.

Instead, Eddie suggests they look at a reliable, but not-so-flashy sedan. Malcolm is disappointed, but he trusts Eddie's judgment. They take it for a test drive, and Malcolm starts to see the appeal. It's a smooth ride, and it has a lot of features that his old car didn't have.

They decide to buy the car, but there's just one problem. They don't have the money to pay for it upfront. The car salesman tells them that they can take out a loan to cover the cost, but Malcolm and Eddie both know that they already have too many financial obligations.

After a bit of brainstorming, they come up with a plan. They decide to use the bar as a collateral and take out a loan on it to cover the cost of the car. They head to the bank, and to their surprise, they're approved for the loan.

With the loan secured, they head back to the car lot to finalize the purchase. However, when they get there, they find out that the car they wanted has already been sold to someone else. Malcolm is distraught, but Eddie remains calm.

He tells Malcolm that he has a friend who works at a dealership out of town and that he can get them a great deal on a car. Malcolm is hesitant at first, but he trusts Eddie and decides to go along with the plan.

They drive out to the dealership, and sure enough, Eddie's friend hooks them up with a great deal on a car. They take it for a test drive, and Malcolm is thrilled with how it handles. They finalize the purchase, and Malcolm finally has a new ride that he's proud of.

The episode ends with Malcolm and Eddie cruising around town in Malcolm's new car, feeling like king of the road. They both realize that sometimes, when things don't go your way, you just have to trust the process and go with the flow.
