Pole Position

A loose adaptation of the video game series "Pole Position" by Namco. The show features the Darretts, a family of stunt-driving crime fighters, who covertly investigate and thwart crimes while operating under the front of a traveling show known as the "Pole Position Stunt Show". Their show is sponsored by the United States government, who is the actual employer of the family. Following the apparently accidental death of their parents (who were the team's original field agents), the young adult siblings Tess and Dan act as their replacements. Tess is the responsible and coldly logical sibling, while Dan is the emotional and hot-headed one. The two play a parental role to their preteen sister Daisy Darrett, who tags along in their travels. Their wheel-chair bound uncle Dr. Zachary Darrett is the engineer who provides their technologically advanced vehicles and equipment. The series did not feature recurring villains, but Tess had a personal enemy in the person of her backstabbing former love interest Greg Dumont.

Scooby Doo, Where Are You!

3 Seasons
Popular animated series featuring Scooby-Doo, a Great Dane who joins four California high school students (Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy) on many quests to solve strange mysteries. Each mystery is current and unusual and involves the group stopping someone from wreaking certain havoc on the world. The gang were always driving in the Mystery Machine, returning from or going to a regular teenage function, when their van develops engine trouble or breaks down for a variety of reasons. Their (unintended) destination turns out to be suffering a monster problem, and the gang volunteers to investigate the case. Eventually, enough clues are found to convince the gang that the ghost or monster was a villain. Invariably, the ghost or monster was apprehended and revealed to be an apparently blameless authority figure or otherwise innocuous local who uses the disguise to cover up a crime or scam. After proclaiming "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!", the villain was then taken away to prison, and the gang was allowed to continue on their way to their destination.
