While it&#8217;s initially painful watching Carmichael being taken advantage of left and right &#8212; particularly when he (very stupidly) buys a lemon of a car without even giving it a test drive &#8212; the storyline nicely loops back to show Carmichael using his newfound skills to fight back against each and every one of his multiple nemeses. <\/p>\n<p><a
