Herbie: Fully Loaded is a 2005 film by Buena Vista Pictures and Columbia Pictures in some countries, starring Lindsay Lohan alongside Michael Keaton, Matt Dillon, Breckin Meyer and Justin Long. The movie features many NASCAR drivers, including Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, and more. It is the first theatrical Herbie film since Herbie Goes Bananas in 1980. It was also one of the very last movies to be released to the home video market in the VHS videotape format, which would eventually be entirely phased out and replaced with DVD.

Plot

The story revolves around recent college graduate Maggie Peyton (Lohan), a former street racer and member of a famous racing clan, whose aspirations of moving to New York and becoming an ESPN sportscaster are put on hold when she meets Herbie, a run-down Volkswagen Bug she finds in a junkyard and buys for $75. Maggie quickly learns the little car has a mind of its own when it takes her against her will to an old garage, where she runs in to her old friend and mechanic Kevin (Long). Kevin persuades Maggie to take Herbie to a car show where they can acquire some new parts to fix it up, but upon arriving, Herbie somehow tricks Maggie into changing into some old racing gear from his trunk (and a helmet labeled "Maxx"), and challenging NASCAR champion Trip Murphy (Dillon) to an impromptu race, which Herbie wins by a hair.
