action

Ian Lafferty is an 18-year-old high school graduate who finally wants to lose his virginity . He meets Ms. Tasty on the Internet . To meet her, he drives to Knoxville with his two best friends Lance and Felicia . For the ride, Ian takes his older brother Rex's Pontiac GTO The Judge , but without his knowledge.

On the way to Knoxville, the three make several, sometimes unintentional, stopovers. The drive on a deserted country road comes to a standstill because the Pontiac's engine goes on strike. After urinating in the cooler did not bring the hoped-for success, the three of them are towed away by Ezekiel, an Amish , in his horse-drawn carriage . Ezekiel then works with a few other Amish people to fix the car while Ian, Lance and Felicia attend a Rumspringa party. Lance falls in love with the Amish girl Mary.

The three friends then spend a short time behind Swedish curtains because Ian fails to relieve a possum that he has hit from his suffering. He then throws the crowbar with which he tries to kill the opossum angrily around and hits a police car. Mary pays the bail , which releases the three of them.

After a long drive they finally reach Knoxville. There they relate quarters in a specially for role playing furnished hotel. Rex, who is looking for his car, finds Ian in this room when he is about to pick up Ms. Tasty. After Ian pretends to be gay, Rex allows him to use the judge for an hour to meet Ms. Tasty.

Eventually, Ian and Felicia, who is hiding in the back seat, meet Ms. Tasty. They drive into a field, but at the last moment Ian refuses to be intimate with her because he loves Felicia. When Ian refuses to take off his clothes, he is threatened with a gun by Bobby Jo, friend of Ms Tasty's friend, who suddenly appears. The rogue couple steals the Pontiac and leaves Ian naked. At the end there is a confused mess around the Pontiac. Ian appears in a donut costume and tries to save his friends who are in the field of fire from Bobby Jo. Ian snatches the gun from him and shoots him in the knee. The police arrive and Ms. Tasty, who tries to escape, is stopped by Andy and Randy, two students from Ian's High School. Meanwhile, Felicia tells the police how it all happened and has the arrest of car thieves Ms Tasty and Bobby Jo.

The story ends with Lance staying with the Amish to marry Mary. Ian and Felicia discover their love for each other. It turns out that Rex is gay. In the final scene , Felicia finally takes his virginity from Ian.
