Later today I found myself at a junkyard. The junkyard was like a graveyard for cars. There were many types of cars that you could find in the junkyard that was not available at dealerships. Sure they had salvaged cars, but only a few worked. This was a good choice.
"Hello. How are you? Is there something specific that you're looking for sir?"
After arriving at the junkyard I was greeted by a female worker. She popped behind me as j was browsing the lot full of Piled heaps of scrap metal.
"Excuse me but what is your name?"
I asked out of curiosity.
Hello nice to meet you. My name is Mimi.", she nodded.
For an Asian girl who works at a junkyard, she sure as hell wasn't bad-looking. She was fairly petite. She was wearing blue overall jeans & work boots as well. Her skin was soft & shiny. She also has on light makeup as well which captured her feminine frame. She was very feminine as well, her voice was very high-pitched.
Judging by the girl's eye shape, she must have be been Asian & she was fairly young as well. Asian girls have Monoeyelids so that's why it was easy to recognize. I'd suppose she was Japanese perhaps judging from her name. This junkyard didn't seem like a place that a woman would want to work but this was not the case with her. She was dressed as a worker, she must have been the person in charge of demolishing salvaged vehicles.
There were people there at the time but it wasn't overcrowded at all. About 6-7 people were browsing the lot looking at cars & a few others seemed to have been pulling parts from older vehicles.
The junkyard was a place that you could find parts to tune up your ride or fix minor issues. There were some cars on the lot with cosmetic parts still intact. So they could easily be used.
"No...not really. But hey I see that there are bodies left of the Silvia Series."
"Yeah, that's right. We have a lot of those here. So you're looking for a car...?"
"Yeah well..sort of. I just recently moved here so I've had a tough time meeting people and knowing how to find cars."
"Ah, I see, well, please. Go ahead and look around. If you see something that captures your attention please feel free to call me so I can assist you.", she nodded.
"Very well then...Thank you Mimi.", I said.
Mimi continued doing her job for the meanwhile. She stayed a bit close, however. What an odd girl I thought. She sure was shy, and so feminine. A girl like her was unusual to me, but she interested me quite a bit.
Minutes later I continued browsing the lot. I walked for at least 2 hours tops. My eyes were scanning the lot left to right, only to be disappointed by the old beaten cars, that have previous careless owners.
"Is there nothing good here? Am I just wasting my time?...man I was hoping id find something good at least."
The day seemed to have passed me by. I started looking around roughly at 8:30 Am, but by the time I realized it was 10:05. I had wasted at least 2 hours browsing the junkyard there wasn't anything good at all.
"maybe there was no can't of me finding a decent car here anyways.", I thought.
Mimi came back to me roughly afterward to make sure I was okay. She greeted me once again with a fair smile and a cheerful grin. Her cheeks were so huge they glimmered by the beams of the sun.
"So have you found anything you're looking for yet? Anything interesting at least?"
"Sadly...no. I looked everywhere but-..."
"But what?"
"Geez, well I don't have much hope right now. I was planning on getting something today, but I guess maybe I should wait another time."
"Yeah, that is true. Sometimes it is good to wair another day and look for a Car. Especially if you really wanna find something decent here....hey, I'm on'll show you something cool."
"Huh?", I asked.
Mimi led me on through the junkyard and we arrived at what seemed to have been a Nissan Silvia S15 shell. The car was in decent shape & needed repairs. There wasn't a Hood either & the car must have been a Salvaged car.
"What a find!", I said.
"Mhmm.", Mimi nodded.
We were in luck because the Silvia Spec R (S15) still had it's motor and turbo. Everything was in good condition except for the body of the car. Of course, these cars would make perfect drift cars. But if I were to race this thing in its current condition it wouldn't last long on the straights.
For a beginner driver like me, there wasn't much I knew about racing. So I could only refer to information from Nissan Motors. They seemed quite knowledgeable on this type of Vehicle.
"The Silvia Spec-R is a rear-wheel-drive coupé automobile with a front placed engine, from Nissan. The Silvia Spec-R forms part of Nissan's S15 series. The 2-liter engine is a turbocharged, double overhead camshaft, 4 cylinder that produces 247 bhp (250 PS/184 kW) of power at 6400 rpm, and maximum torque of 275 N·m (203 lb·ft/28 km) at 4800 pm. The engine delivers its power through to the wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. Quoted curb weight is 1240 kg."-Nissan
"It's not a bad find. Do you think you would want to buy it?...", Mimi Asked.
I took a couple of seconds to think.
"Sure what's the price?", I asked.
"This car is $2,500!.", Mimi concluded.
"Damn that sure isn't a bad price. But the body and everything still needed work. Cosmetic work would've easily cost me a couple of thousands along with the maintenance of the car. Shit..."
The Spec-R wasn't so bad at all I thought. But one thing I felt it lacked was originality. I had enough money to afford it but I felt as if the car itself was too slow right off the bat. I wanted something a bit more sport-like. Something that's fast on the bends & straights.
What I wanted was something a bit more classy & fashionable. I doubted that I would find it at a junkyard though. If I didn't find anything soon, perhaps the trip would've been a waste of time.
"Listen here, Mimi. This car isn't really bad but it would cost me a lot to repair. I was hoping to find something in a better condition than this one. Do you know of any other cars?"
"Yeah actually now that you mention it I do!"
"Huh!"...are you serious?", I gasped.
"Yeah of course. I'll take you to them. They're a bit newer and have technical issues but they don't go for much. They've salvaged titles so of course, you should know what to expect."
"Okay. Thank you so much for your help....let's go!"
Eventually, Mimi had guided me to another strange part of the junkyard. There were many Garages with a lot of empty old abandoned cars inside them. Most of the cars didn't have owners at all, they had been abandoned and were brought to the junkyard, by Mimi's Manager.
I was quite surprised myself.
I entered the Abandoned-Garage & began to look around immediately. While browsing through the Garage I could easily tell that The type of cars that were abandon had easily been older Gen vehicles such as Pontiac's, Corvettes & mustangs. I liked those types of cars but it just wasn't my style, no thank you!
Muscle Cars weren't my favorite at the least. They were too loud & scary. Sure I felt confident behind a wheel whenever I would drive but those kind of cars are like the Kings of the streets. Everyone knows & could agree that Muscle Cars like those were cheap affordable power. If you were a newer driver a muscle car is like asking for trouble or a Car Wreck. No thank you!
"Wow!, honestly I've never seen any cars in here before. They're all so old & Dusty."
Mimi was surprised. I don't think she had ever come inside of this Garage before. It was almost like an Ancient temple for cars. The cars in the room were dirty & had minor exterior issues but their engines seemed to have been missing parts.
There was another room further down with even more Cars. Man there were Cars everywhere! No kidding.
"Man...there sure are a lot of Cars here. There's so many to choose from. There's even more down there.", I pointed.
I took a step forward. I walked a bit further inside of the Room we were inside stashed with old abandoned vehicles.
Once we reached to the farthest part of the room . I began to pop open their hoods. Most of the engines had seemed to have been new on this specific part of the room. However, the Body of the Cars were dusty & scrapped on the Side. Some of the Vehicles Body had been completely colorless due to the large cover of dusts on all the vehicles.
"Huh...isn't this odd. These cars are practically new...they just need outside work. They don't even really seem to be in bad condition."
"Ah yes, you're right...well that's because these Cars have malfunction issues. The Manager said the Cars here may be in good condition but the chance of one starting up was quite low. These cars are sort of useless.", Mimi Stated.
"I see...well then. Perhaps we should split up and look around. Maybe you could find something better than me."
"Huh!!??...oh um....", Mimi Stuttered.
She seemed to have been quite nervous & afraid of being in the dark garage. I'm not sure whether if it was Atmosphere or perhaps it was because I startled her.
Now that I began to think about it. The atmosphere began to become denser & denser. It was almost as if something such as a ghost had possessed the room. Well, there was no way of that being possible. Ghost wasn't real, well at least that's what I thought. There's no way I'm hell of something like that being Real.
We stood in the center of the room. I felt very uncomfortable in General being alone in a dark room with a girl. I didn't know much about her either other than the fact that she worked here.
"Just...W-what the hell was that?..", I asked.
"What are you talking about?...you're scaring me.", Mimi asked.
I felt a Chill suddenly Run down my spine. It felt like a wicked force had been pulling my soul with its demonic claws. I could feel something in the room & I began to make my way towards it. It's odd, isn't it? There was no other quiet reason to explain this, but there was an even deeper part to the garage. There was a huge door, with a giant lock on it.
Surprisingly the lock had already been broken. So we were easily able to get in. Mimi followed behind me. A girl like her would be scared out of her mind if I left her in a dark place like this. She was so scared her body was shaking repetitively.
I pushed a button which had been the key to open up the Door. The door lifted upwards. Inside the secluded garage there were multiple spider webs.
Jesus fucking christ...this place had looked like a haunted house. So creepy, spiders were everywhere holy hell!
There were spiders everywhere. As usual there were mostly tarantulas & small baby spiders. The spider webs mostly covered the walls & ceiling. There were a few webs that dangled from the ceiling.
"Mimi...be careful. Watch out for the spiders."
"Eek!!!", Mimi screeched.
She couldn't hold back her feelings of how scared she was. She felt so scared at the moment.
Somehow we didn't need a flashlight anymore. The small garage entrance had sunlight flashing on the inside. So there was no trouble seeing the cars in front of us.
The dark vibe that I was feeling at first had brought me to a Car. The car sat idle in a darker part of the room. I rubbed my hand across the bumper to remove some of the dust which had covered most of its body.
"Huh...Z? What is this?...it's quite strange."
The car's logo had a Z on the front bumper.
"Huh...isn't this car new???", I asked.
"I'm not sure at this point, besides I haven't gone this deep into this place before. I'm not sure myself."
The Car logo read, "Fair-lady-NISSAN Z". The main symbol of the car had appeared to have been the Z. I never honestly heard of such a car before. Mimi looked quite surprised too. The car looked very unfamiliar to her as well.
I began to scan the inside of the exterior, then I moved to the interior as well. The seats looked brand new & surprisingly the keys were inside the car on the driver's seat. Everything was clean & the car itself was emitting an aura so tense I couldn't get my eyes off for a second.
"What an Amazing find...!"
My eyes sparkled.
For the first time, I felt as if I had fallen in love. I was drawn to the car so much. I just couldn't take my car eyes off of it.
"Mimi this is it...this is the car I want. How much will it cost!?"
"I'd say for a newer car like this $46,000, but because of its condition. I'll drop it down to $5,000...partially because we need to get rid of cars & all of these are just taking up space. It would be a shame to let cars like these go to waste."
"Okay then...yes."
"Alright, we'll have to push the car out to the main entry point of the junkyard...if that's okay with you."
"Yes, thank you!"
I was so excited. I pushed the car through the garage as Mimi worked the steering wheel. Once we reached the outside of the Abandoned Garage we arrived at the checkout area for visitors.
"Phew man I'm tired...", I sighed.
"Okay stay here. I'll be back: I have to go talk to the manager about this card history & title."
"Ah okay...sure.", I said.
While I stood outside. Mimi went inside the small Workplace. It was a building where customers could checkout. There were 2 others workers inside who would help customers make their purchases. I glanced over at the window which seemed to have been where Mimi was at. She was talking to a man he must've been the manager. The look on his face wasn't so bright as it seemed.
He quickly got up and came outside along with Mimi.
The Manager was easily 6 feet. His hair was Black & silky smooth. He was a tall old man with a gray workSuit & tie on. He was dressed very professionally & had on Sunglasses as well. Black pants & Black shoes. His eyes weren't visible at all while wearing sunglasses. He also had a oddly deep voice and seemed to have been in his early 30's.
"Hello...so are you the one who would like to purchase this car?", he asked.
"Yes of course...I think it's a great car!", I responded enthusiastically.
The managers facial expression turned pale. Its almost like he had seen a Ghost. Even the sunglasses he wore couldn't stop it from being obvious. It's almost as if he had words that he wanted to refrain from saying. I wonder Mimi & the manager had a conversation about the Z inside of the workplace. Well that could be a possibility.
The paleness faded away. The manager sighed & began to construct his thoughts in his head. He seemed to be very frustrated at the time. I began to wonder if it had something to do with the Z.
The manager began to speak.
"There is something odd about this car. That's why I had locked it in the Garage.It has no current owners but it wasn't for sale. I was ordered by someone to keep it locked away.", he stated.
Someone ordered him to Keep it locked away? What does he mean? Why would there be a need to keep a car locked away if it's at a junkyard? I sort of felt as if there was something he didn't want to tell me.
"Sir but I don't understand? What's wrong with it? It looks perfectly fine to me. Is something the matter?..." I asked.
"Well yes, sort of. The history of that Z you're standing besides is dark & oddly mysterious. No other car has had such a Dark history at this junkyard yet alone in the entire world. That Car is no ordinary Car I've seen what it can do. Looks can be deceiving especially on Cars such as that Z, but beneath that Hood is a complete Ghost out to Kill & terrorize other drivers on the Road.", the Manager responded.
"What exactly do you mean by history? It looks like a normal car to me. I don't see anything wrong.", I said.
"That Z was involved with many Accidents all around. Accidents which took the life of its previous owners. There were a series of unfortunate events that took place. That Z has been through fires, crashes,...Not just that but that Z had been built over & over by Nissan themselves & tuned specifically for Racing capabilities. However it's not so easy to tell that the Z has been in such wrecks because the previous owner restored it one last time before giving it away to keep it locked up for good.", he said.
"That Z is a car that knows no defeat."
I didn't say a word. I didn't know whether if the Manager was making things up or if that was the truth. The look on his face held frame so could it have all been true? Just what exactly is he saying?
Mimi jumped into the conversation to break the silence.
"Don't worry, we worked out the deal already & the car is being sold for $5,000. I think that's fair enough don't you agree?"
"Yeah, he nodded. $5,000 is good...you can have her. Take good care of her."
"Yes!, of course, thank you very much!"
Man I wonder what exactly that was he said earlier. Man people who work at junkyards are weird. I thought it was just a rumor. Junkyard workers are quite odd. Except for Mimi of course. I had taken a liking to her.
I then handed him the Cash. I reached into my pocket and pulled out an envelope with the Hard-earned money I had been saving from my Part-time job. He quickly handed me a Tag Number & Mimi assisted him.
The purchase is completed. I immediately hopped into the old abandoned Z. I picked up the key & inserted it into the ignition.
"Tch...."
"Brrrrrr.!!!"
The engine growled. It truly was almost like a beast. The Z had been resurrected.
I gave it a few more revs.
"Vroom!!!!....Vroom!!! Tch."
Judging by the sound of the Turbo & Exhaust the car was previously tuned & modified. So it was built for high speeds. Man I couldn't believe it. I'm so lucky!
Mimi & the Manager were both surprised. Their faces were whooed. Even I was surprised. I wasn't sure whether or not if the car would start but it immediately started without delay.
The Car looked as if it had been through hell. The engine and all else inside looked brand new. Neither Mimi nor the Managaer could believe it with their very own eyes.
"It started right away!!!?No way...!", Mimi said
"See ya! Also Thanks for the help Mimi. I'll come again sometimes perhaps."
I shifted into 1st gear. The engine roared at 4,000 Rpms & the car raced off the lot. In the rear view mirror were the two people who were shocked by a Car which had resurrected itself from the dead. Perhaps the Z really was a Ghost.
