Hi All I'm new

I am working Very hard at trying to ID this movie I saw on cable last summer. Hopefully someone can help me out. Here is the description from what I remember:

Takes place in New York City, about a young woman (late teens / early 20s) who ran away from home (New Jersey) to live in NYC. I believe she was into the Ramones and hung out at the lead singers apartment.

The girl, who is the main character, was kicked out of her apartment and locked out by the landlord because she wasn't paying rent. She then went back to Jersey to ask her sister for rent money.

She ends up living in a car with her good friend who loves her (a guy) in a field somewhere around NYC. She was, if I remember correctly, badly beaten up at one point in the movie.

She is tall and thin with dark brown, very short hair.

Typical 80s movie--the wardrobe, music, and all.

I cannot remember anyone that was in the movie. All one-hit wonders I believe.

Anyone know what I am talking about? Hopefully as this is driving me nuts! I think it was on Encore or Showtime, last summer.

Thank you in Advance
