Story

You're going to have the most turbo-charged, chrome-plated, plush-lined, high-gloss, super-speed customized time of your life.

Ken loves to design and build exotic cars. When the High School shop class project car, a fully tricked out dream Corvette, is stolen, he begins searching for it. His search leads him to Las Vegas, where Vanessa, a teenaged prostitute wannabe, helps him try to track it down.
