Gidget makes a deal with a surfer to buy his hearse so she can become more independent. However, after making a few payments the surfer sales it to a bunch of boys. Making her point about owning a small part of the hearse the boys decide to let her drive it, a very small part of the time. In the mean time she takes shop class at school to help with the upkeep of the hearse. (thetvdb.com)
