Takahishi story continued

Part one of this story is here

Chapter 2: From the sidelines

She watched the two cars leave the line at the same time, but obviously the SRT-4 was quickly getting an early lead. She watched the race with both intrigue and guilt. Why? Well, she was the car that was caught in the middle of the fight that started the race: she was the Supra. Ellie was basically a stock 1988 Toyota Supra hardtop, 3.0 inline six under the hood with no turbo, she was from the generation known as “MK3”. She was always a little self conscious about herself, which might explain how she ended up with the SRT-4. Her paint had been redone, but her design and performance was nothing like the forth generation Supra’s that everyone made such a big deal over. As a result she would feel out of place and even ashamed when someone would mention what kind of car she was, she always felt like she was being compared to the better cars of the newer generation and being looked down upon. When she first met Tony, the SRT-4, she thought she found something good. She was drawn by the fact that he was American made but could run against the imports she knew, and had potential for a whole lot more. What she didn’t plan on was him being a little rowdy and also a bit of a showoff; she felt he was turning into a loud blow-off. She thought the hatchback had done nothing wrong; in fact she had spotted him first. She was surprised to see another car from around the time she was made there at the races and looking pretty much stock. She wouldn’t admit it right away, but she even found him a little cute, and liked how he seemed to be low key. That was why she was a little uneasy about watching this race unfold before her, she wanted so bad to see the hatchback stomp Tony into the ground, but still felt like she needed to be loyal to Tony even though she was having serious doubts about the two of them. The sounds of engines being taken to the edge of their braking point snapped her back to reality, no matter what she chose to do next there was still a race to watch, no matter which side she cheered for…..

Coming sometime soon: Chapter 3: Do not adjust your radio
