Part One opens with tripod mounted cameras capturing Kay as she tries to start the 51 Chevy.  She lights a cigarette as the engine turns over, but it just will not catch.  She even calls her friend to say that she'll be late because her car won't start.  After pumping and cranking for over twenty minutes, the old Chevy finally starts.  In Part Two, Kay can't get the 49 Ford started.  She opens the hood and then goes back into the house to ask Irish Rose to come help her.  They take turns cranking the engine until the car finally starts.
