Doreen Rose needs a new car. Her old one is falling down around her ears. So what does the widow spend her fiftieth birthday doing? Why, car shopping of course. While drooling over a showroom Corvette—a car she can’t possibly afford, she switches to drooling over the salesman, six-two, broad shouldered overly confident Ted Brown. Hazel eyed Ted, who won’t take no for an answer when he suggests a test drive in the Corvette. A test drive that starts with the awkwardness of trying to remember how to drive a stick shift and continues with a high speed run up the interstate that makes her adrenaline pump and her heart rate fly. It makes an unscheduled stop (she thinks) for a test drive of Ted on his couch. When she finally tells Ted that she can’t possibly afford the Corvette, he shrugs it off, saying that there are other cars and dealers. She misinterprets what he says when he tells her that his roommate, Dan Green, sells cars at a different dealership and could sell her one.
When her old car breaks down, yet again, she goes to Dan’s dealership to check out his sales method, becoming brazenly forward while taking a test drive in a Mustang. He tells her he isn’t free to use the same techniques while on the job, but will pick her up after work. Dan arrives and though not as well-endowed as Ted, his techniques on her couch quickly make her forget Ted as he drives her to places she didn’t know existed. Can she handle the competition between them or will she succumb to the unimaginable offer they propose?
