Trabbi Goes to Hollywood

Trabbi Goes to Hollywood (English title: Driving Me Crazy) is a 1991 American comedy film directed by Jon Turteltaub and starring Thomas Gottschalk, Billy Dee Williams, Michelle Johnson, Dom DeLuise, and James Tolkan.

Plot

Gunther Schmidt (Thomas Gottschalk) is a young, eccentric East German inventor who (like many others) attempts to flee across the border to the West using his inventions, but constantly meets with failure. Finally, he constructs a gadget which actually works: a modified Trabant ("Trabbi") with a motor running on turnip juice, making it ultimately environmental but still capable of attaining a speed of up to 250km/h. But by the time his invention is perfected, East and West Germany are reunited, rendering the Trabbi's role as an escape vehicle obsolete.
