Drake & Josh season 1 episode 2, titled "Dune Buggy," follows stepbrothers Drake and Josh as they set out to rebuild a dune buggy that their father purchased. The episode starts with the boys receiving the dune buggy in a non-working state, and their dad tells them that it's up to them to fix it up and make it "run like new again."
Josh, who is more mechanically inclined than Drake, takes the lead in the repair process while Drake becomes fixated on the idea of driving the buggy. As they work, the brothers continuously bicker and argue about how to fix the car. Josh tries to follow the car's manual, but Drake wants to improvise and make it their own. This ultimately creates tension between the two and results in a few mishaps.
Later in the episode, Drake convinces Josh to let him take the buggy out for a spin while Josh does some errands. Unsurprisingly, things go wrong when the buggy breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Drake must find a way to get the buggy back home before Josh finds out what happened.
Meanwhile, at home, Josh discovers Drake's true intentions behind wanting the buggy to function perfectly. Drake only wants to impress his crush, Tiffany, by picking her up in the dune buggy and showing off his driving skills. Josh uses this information to his advantage and promises to help Drake impress Tiffany if he agrees to pitch in and help finish fixing the buggy.
The episode ends with Drake and Josh working together and successfully fixing the dune buggy. Drake gets to show off his driving skills to Tiffany, and they both enjoy a ride in the newly refurbished buggy. Overall, the episode highlights the typical brotherly drama between Drake and Josh but ultimately showcases the importance of working together and compromising for a common goal.
