In this short, Mike shows Sulley a new six wheeled car he bought. Unfortunately for Mike, he is not very familiar with the various features of his new car. A series of comic hijinks ensue, as Mike winds up locking himself out, Sully accidentally closes the hood on Mike's fingers, Mike gets trapped in the engine compartment, the windshield wipers malfunction, and the whole situation goes from bad to worse.
