Twenty-one years later, the outcast and bullied nerd Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham is getting a ride with his best and only friend Dennis Guilder and he sees the wrecked car for sale in a garden. Arnie immediately falls in love with the car. The car was given the name Christine by it's first owner. He brings the car to a repair shop of the despicable Will Darnell and works hard to restore the classic car. While he works in the restoration, he changes his personality to a cocky teenager and he dates the most beautiful girl in the high-school, Leigh Cabot.

My a**hole brother

You got your new model year

in September.

Brand-new, she was.

She had the smell

of a brand-new car.

About the finest smell in the world,

except maybe for p*ssy.

When he got her,

she had six miles on the odometer.

Goddamn Roland went through hell

and back with Christine.

If your brother loves this car so much,

why is he selling it?

Cause hes stone cold dead.

Lll make it 250 for you.

The moneys not important,

and therell be no bringing her back...

and buying me a condo.

You got a deal.

Lll get the pink slip.

Will you stop and think about this

for a moment?

- Where are you getting the money?

- Lve been saving all summer.

- For college.

- You already have a car.

Hes screwing you.

You could get a decent car

for that much money.

Christine is decent.

The guys weird, Arnie.

Hes f***ing weird.

- So that was 300?

- Yeah, thats it.

- You said 250.

- 250 would do it.

It this is a good idea,
