<P> The Toad , in Steve 's car , and John , in his yellow 1932 Ford Deuce Coupé hot rod , cruise the strip of Modesto . Toad , who is normally socially inept with girls , successfully picks up a flirtatious , and somewhat rebellious , girl named Debbie . John inadvertently picks up Carol , an annoying 12 - year - old who seems fond of him . Another drag racer , the handsome and arrogant Bob Falfa , is searching out John in order to challenge him to a race . </P>
