Ever wonder if you really need all those bits and pieces in your car? Or if it will still drive without engine oil, or a battery? Adam, Rutledge and Tanner each choose a mechanically robust vehicle, then compete in a head to head battle to see whose car can withstand the most abuse. The winner gets to test drive the brand new $300k Rolls Royce Wraith.
