Mini story

I joined in with the students the other day when they where having to type a story. I decided to be a little strange and just let my mind wander. What I am going to post here is what came out, and if I get a good enough response (hint: comments) I might be wiling to continue the story over a few blog posts here and there.

Takahishi: The little Honda that could.

There once was a 1985 Honda Civic DX hatchback named Takahishi. He wasn't much to look at, but he had heart, and a n/a 1.3 liter engine. His owner never knew it, but he used to sneak out of the house at night and observe the street racing and drifting that was taking place on the outskirts of town. He marveled in awe at the performance cars he saw there: Integra's with shopping cart wings and fart cannon mufflers, Del Sol's with body kits and neon under glow. Little Taka always knew these guys where serious, poor Taka didn't even have Naaaws. One day he got caught checking out a Supra that was going steady with an SRT-4 with a really bad jealous streak. The Neon called out to Taka, "You want a piece of this, stock boy!?" Taka was scared, the crowd was closing in around him and he was afraid these guys would rip him a new exhaust manifold for sure. He couldn't back down, but he couldn't make a run for it either, and he also knew there was no way he could take an SRT-4 that had on aftermarket rims. Taka agreed to a race, and the two of them lined up, the course would take them straight for a while slightly downhill, then through some hairpin curves, then back uphill to where they started. The Neon was revving so hard he was bouncing the engine off the rev limiter, Taka was afraid he was going to leak oil right there in front of everybody. They would go after a countdown of three honks. They both heard the first one, then a second one after what felt like an eternity, then finally the third honk broke the silence and the tension in the air. The SRT-4 tore off the line and his front wheels erupted in clouds of tire smoke. Taka managed to chirp his Wal-Mart brand tires and tried to do all he could in first gear. Questions flashed through his main CPU: Will he make it? Will he crash? Will his engine stay in one piece? All these questions will be answered once the race is over...
