The magenta-haired girl stood beside the purple and orange bandana turtles. They looked closely at a vehicle trunk.

"Man, junkyards are goldmines!"

Donnie opened the trunk's front, rummaging through many different objects with his mechanical hands. He then picked up a scent emitter and sniffed it.

"Who needs real pineapples when you have one of these babies?" Asked Donnie in satisfaction.

Eli picked up the thing from Donnie's hand and also sniffed it.

"You're right...it did smell great!" She beamed in joy, Donnie agreed with a smile.

"Well if you like, you can keep it to yourself."

The girl looked even happier when she heard that.

"Really? Thanks, Don!"

Donnie nodded slightly then continued to search for more items. Suddenly, a large magnet picked up a discarded vehicle and carried it all of its way to the three's gathering.

Mikey was the only one who spotted danger from above.

"Uh...Donnie? Eli? Guys?! Guys!! I really think we should--"

"Oh hey," Donnie cut off the young box turtle's sentence. "Fuzzy nerd dides."

Eli saw Mikey's strange expression on his face, then she looked up before her own eyes could even wider by time.

"Donnie!!"

Shouted both siblings while they were all pointing at the car that was about to drop on them. Knowing that Donnie wouldn't listen to them, they both determined to pull the turtle out of the trunk by themselves.

Before the car was been released by the magnet, making its way to the three of them.

Luckily, Mikey and Eli had successfully dragged the turtle out of the trunk at the last second, as they were all landing on the seats of a different car from down there. The trunk that they were standing on was being crushed by another one, forming a large pile of cars and cars.

"Mikey, Eli. Please, next time, I would appreciate a heads-up."

"Oh..." Eli paused for a moment.

"Okay," Mikey added, then gasped all of a sudden. "Heads up!"

Through a rear mirror that Mikey had fixed for a better view, the three saw a tow truck ran from behind, including the words [Repo Mantis Salvage], were now dragging a much larger blue vehicle as it passed by from where they sat.

"Is that..."

Mikey raised a question, Donnie gasped with his eyes sparkled.

"It is!"

Eli followed with a squeeze.

"I can't believe my eyes!"

"It's the Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy!!" The three all shouted together.

"This very vehicle was featured in not one, not two, but 60 sequels of [Jupiter Jim's Last Trip to the Moon]!!" Donnie explained happily to no one.

The tow truck suddenly turned sideways, sending the vehicles rolled across the ground, before it landed back up normally.

"How can anyone let that historical gem slip through their fingers?" Mikey moaned.

"I do not know, Michael," Donnie answered back with the determination shown upon his expression. "But we've got to have it."

"We HAVE to!!" Eli added, even more, determining than her older brothers. "There's no hella way that we gonna miss this!!"

Eli jumped out of the car, Donnie came next with a kick at the door on his side, and Mikey just casually opened the car's door and ran out.
