Plot[edit]
Kim and Ron are anxiously awaiting Middleton High School's driver's education course, although Ron is looking forward to it more than Kim. As with most driver's ed courses, the one at Middleton High includes an old Driver's Ed scare film. But after a humiliating flunking of her driving test Kim is visited by an automated SUV named Sadi(acronym for Systemized Automated Driving Intelligence)who’s owner has been kidnapped by Drakken. The owner is a robotics expert named Dr. Freeman(no first name given), who specializes in artificial intelligence, which he has added to every-day devices, including the car that summoned Kim for help.
The factory that Drakken took the SUV's owner to was a former automotive factory that built station wagons. Drakken uses this as a new lair to build an army of Destructo-Bots, which he has failed at so far. Drakken demands that Freeman make them work properly, but the good doctor refuses. When Freeman survives numerous elaborate devices for extracting his knowledge, Drakken is reduced to begging him for help, until Shego uses his ego against him. Outraged by her suggestion that he's not the expert he considers himself to be, Freeman is determined to prove them both wrong by building the robots Drakken wanted in the first place.
After using Sadi to cheat leads to a stellar pass, Kim must overcome her guilt to foil Drakken's improved destructo-bot army. Upon Kim, Ron, Rufus, and Sadi's arrival at Drakken's lair, they're surprised to find that Drakken and Freeman are celebrating his success. The celebration is short-lived once Drakken activates the robots, however. Though Kim and crew manage to destroy the robots, Shego destroys the plant's cauldron filled with molten steel, and escapes with Drakken. Sadi is slightly damaged in the fight, and urges either Kim or Ron to take over. Since neither of them can do so, Kim tries to coax Dr. Freeman into driving, but he confesses that he never learned how, which was why he built Sadi in the first place. Sadi encourages Kim to take the wheel, despite her lack of confidence, and they manage to escape. To make things even better for her, Sadi offers to let Kim fire a missile at Drakken & Shego's hovercraft. Both survive the attack to be taken away by the police.
Kim finally takes another driver's test in order to legitimize the previous one, and though she doesn't receive the "A++" mark she had before, still passes.
Trivia[edit]
- The "keen little coupe" described in the "Ghost Car" film, wasn't a coupe. It was a 1955 Buick Century Sedan.
