Teenage gearhead cares about nothing but cars, and spends most of his senior year leading his shop class in the restoration of Corvette Stingray whose husk they rescue from the scrap yard just as it's about to be compressed.
By the time it's finished, it's so accessorized and tricked out as to qualify for one-of-a-kind status, so of course it gets boosted. While the rest of the class shrugs their shoulders and goes back to doing high school stuff, our hero resolves to find and reclaim his baby, and his adventure takes him on hitch-hiking journey to Vegas where he ends up in the crosshairs of bad dudes and crazy broads.
