Bobby ( Stuart Goetz ) has just graduated from high school, but hes too preoccupied with girls to think much about his future.

Bobby hasnt had much luck with the ladies, and hes convinced its because of his lack of cool wheels, so after months of slaving at a car wash owned by Andy ( Danny DeVito ), he blows the money hed been saving for college on a down payment on his dream machine: a canary yellow custom Dodge van, a bachelor pad on wheels complete with mirrored ceiling, 8-track stereo, television monitors, and (natch) a waterbed.

Bobby turns his attentions to class hottie Sally ( Connie Lisa Marie ), who happens to be dating ill-tempered bully Dugan ( Steve Oliver ), while his buddy Jack urges him to date the more available Sue ( Marcie Barkin ), whos friends with his girlfriend, Tina ( Deborah White ).

Andy uses the car wash as a front for his bookmaking business, and when a few bets dont go his way, he asks Bobby to lend him some money.

Bobby gives Andy the cash hed earmarked for his next payment on the van, but when Andy cant pay him back, Bobbys new van may be soon be in the hands of the repo man.
