Kevin's car constantly breaks down. Chuck's on-again-off-again girlfriend Alice informs Kevin that her father runs a car dealership and can get him a good deal on a new car. Since Chuck and Alice are currently broken up, Chuck is against Kevin doing this, but Kevin does anyway. While test driving a new car, Alice becomes attracted to Kevin and kisses him, right when Chuck just happens to be driving by them. Alice quickly becomes upset with Kevin, while the car breaks on the road, so Kevin gets his old car back. At school, Chuck and Alice get back together, and Chuck, having been told by Alice that Kevin had put the moves on her, forgives Kevin after punching him in the face.

- The Alleged Car: Kevin's car constantly breaks down, which is the driving force of him needing a new car. The new car he tests out breaks down on the road, so he continues driving his old car.I bought this car from my grandfather for only one dollar, and I think I paid too much.
- Bittersweet Ending: Chuck and Alice get back together, but as adult Kevin says at the beginning, they regularly break up and get back together.
- Bookends: The episode begins and ends with scenes at a party, with Kevin and Winnie absent while Kevin attempts to get his car started on the road.
- Downer Ending: Kevin does not get a new car (and keeps his car that constantly breaks down), Alice lies to Chuck that Kevin had been after her, and Chuck angrily punches Kevin for it.
