Becky’s life isn’t exactly unhappy; it’s just stuck in neutral.  When a wealthy widower offers Becky the chance at an exciting new life, things quickly accelerate out of her control.  Fasten your seat belt and enjoy the hilarity and U-turn plot twists as Becky leads us down the road less traveled.  The key to Becky’s New Car  is a remark made by her late friend Rita to the effect that when a woman “says she wants a new car, she wants a new life.”
