Pitches

Cute and witty, COURTNEY RAY has proven herself as a top auto mechanic in restoring classic cars at her late father’s mechanic shop, Ray’s Auto Shop, in small town Texas. Meanwhile, NICK SEDINA, a heavy-hitter in the tech world of “Silicon Hills” in Austin, shows up at Courtney Ray’s auto shop with a broken-down and smoking vintage Porsche, which he was planning on delivering to his father as a surprise Christmas gift. 

As she gears up for the town’s “Classic Christmas Parade & Toy Run,” a holiday-themed classic car show and toy drive, Courtney Ray is in a pickle as she loses two of her best lead mechanics for the season. Nick offers to help repair the classic Porsche, never expecting Courtney Ray to take him up on the offer. Between oil spills and stripped bolts, Nick is clearly slowing down the process, but in time, Courtney Ray admires his willingness to learn. 

The day of the “Classic Christmas Parade & Toy Run,” decorated classic cars and trucks line the main street of town, with Nick’s dad driving the lead in his new vintage Porsche. Pulling up the rear, in the back of her pickup piled high with toys, Courtney Ray, dressed as Santa, and Nick, as her elf, are laughing when her fake beard accidentally breaks off and they share their first kiss.
