Goofs:

Continuity: When Peter is driving the car that looks like a penis, there is a white line in the middle of the road. When the shot shows the approaching tunnel, the line is gone. In the following shot, the line is there again.

Quotes:

Peter Griffin: [driving in his new phallic car when he pulls next to someone] Hey! Hey, when you pull that thing into your garage, does your garage say, "Is it, is it in yet?"
[keeps driving, approaches tunnel]
Peter Griffin: Don't worry baby. I'll be gentle.
[after going in and out numerous times, Peter gets hit head-on by a truck, making the car short, and then gets laughed at by supermodels going by on a bus]
Peter Griffin: Ow. My pride.

One of Stewie's funniest moments

Definitely an awesome episode. Of course, I'll be honest with you movie and television viewers-there have been more interesting episodes-however, it's the gags, as always, that really make the episode enjoyable. I absolutely loved Stewie's moment-"Yes, when you're ready come talk to me sweetheart, I know what it takes to be cool" and his whole "Rocket Man" performance-God, I love him.

The stories about Chris and Peter, Meg and Lois actually aren't that bad-real family time stuff. I'd definitely recommend this episode for someone who had never seen family guy before, because it really sums up the entire family and values of the Griffins (and the TV show itself) in a nutshell.

In a word, awesome.
