But then his widowed father brings home a Deathmobile" an old Corvair, famously characterized by Ralph Nader as unsafe at any speed." When Benjy learns that the U.S. government ultimately found Nader's sensational charges untrue, he decides that the Corvair is not disabled, just different," as he is, and has been unfairly stigmatized by a world that does not understand it, just as he has. The different boy becomes the different car's champion, determined to prove to the world how wrong it is about both of them. Taking Benjy and his father on a wild and emotional ride full of colorful characters and comic adventures, the Deathmobile becomes their Lifemobile," ultimately helping them both discover Benjy's own uniquely satisfying place in this world.
