You couldn't get that IS-F out front up on a lift could ya?" "Yeah, no prob." >He tosses you the key to the Lexus >"If you wanna start getting the tires off too, that'd be awesome. I'll be round with the new set when I can find 'em" >You nod and head out front >The monster Lexus sedan sits in the middle of the lot >Sunset reflects off the immaculate Blue Mica paintwork, and the light brings out the bulge on the hood, trying to hide the five litre V8 >After spending a few moments admiring it from a distance, you unlock it and give it a walk around, taking in all the details >The IS-F wasn't a common car >In fact, this was the first you'd seen up close >You take care when opening the door and climbing inside >The rumble of the V8 makes you quiver as you start it up >You engage reverse, and ease on the throttle, backing it up onto a lift in the garage >Soon after, with the Lexus up in the air, the rims stacked on the floor, and the worn rubber rolled outside, Vaughn joins you with the new set >"Took me fucking ages to find all four of these fucking things." >You're not paying attention, instead you're staring up at the Lexus, admiringly >"You, uh, you gonna help me, or what?" "Hmm? Oh, yeah, sorry. Just got a little distracted~" >You smile at your colleague >"Distracted? By what? It's just a boring sedan from Neighpon. Nothing special." >Goodbye smile "All you care about is muscle. There's nothing wrong with cars from Neighpon." >"Aside from the fact they're all rice filled shitboxes." "This again? Fuck you Vaughn." >You throw the Lexus key at him "You can finish it your fucking self. Fuck you." >You turn back out into the parking lot >Vaughn was always giving you shit about imports, so fuck him, you were going home >An old white R33 Skyline GT-R is sat waiting in the corner, dropped on bronze RAYS TE-37 alloy wheels wrapped in Haykook rubber >That was your car >You dump the clutch as you leave, and open up the RB26, squealing the tires as a final "fuck you" before hitting the road, bound for your apartment
