After Buying the Z I immediately arrived home. I pulled up outside slowly cruising going around to the back of the Building. My family was quite wealthy. My Dad & Mom worked selling Real Estate & ran other businesses on the Side. They were always working so much they never really had time for me. I sort of felt alienated by my Parents. So I wanted to do this alone by myself. I wanted to prove to myself that I didn't need them.
I parked my car around the back of the house. This way I could keep my car hidden. I didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention. I didn't want my parents to know that I bought a car without their permission so I placed a car cover on it. This would keep my car hidden & protected until I could finish restoring it & working on the electrical system. The Z also needed to be cleaned as well.
I have to work on One thing at a time!
A couple of days passed by. I eventually got a new job. I became a worker at a Car Wash downtown. Fast food wasn't my type of thing I was only 18 so it's not like I could've gotten anything better. Many Cars would often come daily, that's why I enjoyed being around. Cars were everything to me. Plus I needed a couple of extra cash to finish repairing the Z. I could've relied on my parents but that wouldn't have brought me any satisfaction. I wanted to do this my way.
"Hello...welcome to the Car Wash. please pull up forwards, shift your car into neutral and allow me to take care of everything else.
I pulled out a Car Brush. I immediately began to scrub down the Cars with soap. This was the preparation before they entered the wash. It took quite the effort of work but it wasn't anything impossible. It sure beats working at fast food, that's for sure!
"Ah! Okay, it's all done."
Cars pulled up. I kept scrubbing them down all day long until my shift would end. Because I wasn't in school I had more time to work. That was the plan. Z's like mine was quite expensive. So I needed to make a lot more money. Parts weren't cheap in the slightest bit.
My shift ended. I immediately talked to the manager & clocked out ending my shift for the rest of the day. The time was midnight. I still had a considerable amount of time to enjoy myself for the rest of the day so I was unsure of what else I wanted to do. While heading off one of my Co-workers approached me.
"Hello my name is Skylar...my shift just ended. So are you free right now?", she said.
I turned around. One of my Co-workers seemed to approach me. It was a girl, how unexpected.
"Yeah, well my shift just ended. So it's not really like I have anything else to do for the rest of the day."
"Yeah, I caught that. You're so so hardworking. Aren't you tired or something I mean. I don't want to overwhelm you, but I'd like it if we could hang out sometime.", she said while touching her hair.
Her hair was Black with Purple dye in it. She wasn't an ugly girl at all. she was a bit unusual. I'm sure she was quite antisocial as well because we never talked before. She was 5feet tall & had a curvaceous figure. She was quite busty as well, not that I had a thing for those types of girls but I was more into the flat chest. Mimi was more of my type. But this girl wasn't so bad either. She had a nice figure. She also had a Steering wheel case which she held close to her. I wonder what that was about. Why would she be carrying a steering wheel?
I had never actually noticed her here. Well, maybe once or twice but we never talked. She was the shy type of girl who didn't know how to talk to anyone. I doubted she had any friends who worked with her here.
I couldn't believe it. A beautiful girl went out of her way to come to talk to me & approach me. Now she wants to hang out!? Man talk about unpredictable!
Stuff like this would only happen in a typical Slice of Life Manga.
"No no! It's okay I'm free we can hang out if you want..."
"Okay sure!", her cheeks lightened up beet red.
"Also there's something I want to talk to you about. So could you perhaps come with me to my car?"
"Um sure...", I said.
She's so odd
I followed her. We arrived at the parking lot where she had parked.
"An N-Nissan Silvia S13??!"
A purple S13 Nissan Silvia was parked. The 1989 facelift model Nissan 240SX SE Hatchback (S13), which was the first Generation. They were quite Rare & popular among Racers & Tuners. That was her car.
I shook my head in disbelief. I couldn't believe it when I saw it...It was real She opened the doors. She pulled out the Steering wheel & locked it into the spot on the ignition. The steering wheel she had carried must've belonged to her Car.
"W-wow is this yours?!!! Cars like this are rare you know. And the color is vibrant is this thing stock!!?"
"Y-yeah! I'm glad you asked. It's near stock. I've only added in a turbo & done other modifications. But yeah isn't she the cutest...", she blushed.
She turned the Key into the ignition. The Car started up. She pressed a bit on the gas to Rev it up to 6,000 RPMs. The car sounded like an absolute force to be reckoned with.
The Naturally Aspirated models were far slower. Cars like this if the stock would be underpowered. They had lightweight & had powerful Sharp Turning & Handling. Cars like this if tuned correctly would be perfect for Drifting.
"The Nissan Silvia (Japanese: 日産・シルビア, Nissan Shirubia) is the series of sport coupes also known as the Nissan S platform. Models within this chassis are sold in other markets by Nissan under different names 200SX and North American 240SX in the S13 and S14 generations, and 180SX in the Japanese market."-Nissan
All of the Silvias we're made with the same chassis. Even the ones I had seen at the junkyard were quite similar to this one in some way. They are almost quite the same. All of the Silvias look identical to one another.
Hers was modded so much you could hear the turbos as well. The car was pretty loud, I wonder just how much did the modifications cost on this thing? Just how fast was it?
If this was her car then could she have been a Racer? None of the car mods on the inside looked cheap. She had the best of the best: Sparco Steering wheel & Sparco Bucket Seats, the Cars body was still stock tho but judging from the sound she had a turbo as well. Most of the money went to her engine & interior. I had never seen anything quite like this before. It was a nice Car!
It finally had hit me that my Co-worker must've had a thing for Cars as well. I didn't realize it at first, but she had fashionable taste. I liked the S13 too myself. This was the first time I had ever seen an S13 close-up in person. Boy was I lucky!
She was Blushing so Much. Her face kept turning red. Maybe I was making her flustered. She was so embarrassed. She would keep covering up her face with her hands to hide her expression. Girls like this did interest me.
Sorry, but I went way too off-topic. I wonder what exactly it was that she wanted to talk to me about in the first place...Was it about the Silvia?
The conversation continued.
"I don't know whether if you were into Cars but I would honestly watch you work so hard throughout the day. Cars seem to be your passion hehe.", she giggled.
"Oh so you were watching me huh?", I said.
"No no...umm...OMG", she shook her head & blushed. She was quite the shy embarrassed type. She was a cool girl in my opinion-She was very different than anyone else I've ever met since coming here.
"Oh wait!... But do you have a car?", she asked.
At the time I didn't know whether if I should've told her about the Z or not, but I planned on keeping it a secret. Telling her about the Z would've been pointless because the
The body needs to be restored & it had electrical problems. The Z would run but it mostly needed cleaning. The paint was faded as well.
"No, I don't have a car...sorry."
"Ah, I see well that's okay...Oh & You know what meet me at the Convenience store later on at 10:00 PM. We can go out then.", she nodded.
10:00 PM wow why so late?...
"Sure I'm down."
We exchanged contact information.
