"I know Johnny," I smiled as I pulled out my personal SA and displayed a diagram, "I was hoping we could maybe strip the insides and build it anew, with this."
Johnny took me SA and looked it over. His eyes slowly widening as he began to recognize what it was, "dude! How?!"
"Just something I thought off," I shrugged, "it's a new type of electrical engine that runs on my version of the arc reactor. We can get rid of the engine and the gear box, basically bringing the old time machine into the 21st century."
"Dude...this is going to take days," Johnny looked over the diagram I sketched out.
I smiled, "I'm not hearing a no."
Johnny grinned, "I'm in."
"So am I," Ben nodded.
"You? What the hell are you going to do Rocky? Sit on it?" Johnny scoffed.
"What it flame brain, or I'll toast you," Ben growled, "and for your information, cars just happen to be something I'm good at. I did help Reed build his first engine you know."
"Wait, then how come you and Johnny never work together?" I asked curiously.
Ben shrugged, "kid's more into the 21st century stuff. I specialise in the old fashioned stuff."
Johnny sighed, "fine, but I swear to God, if you accidentally sit on it or something I will burn your rocks off! Got it!"
Ben nodded, "hey, if you're going to get my rocks off I can't complain," I snorted but held back my laughter.
"Good! Now...wait a minute," Johnny narrowed his eyes as I burst out laughing, "that's not funny!" Ben and I laughed hard.
We got to work on the car. Johnny had a hundred different ideas he wanted to use, but Ben and I held him back. I so did not want my car shooting out fire, this was supposed to be Peter Parker's car, not Spider-man's. And even then I don't that would be a good choice.
I called up SHIELD's resource management team and had them send over all the parts we would need. I signed it off as a business expense, bwahahahahaha!
We first replaced the engine, petrol was a thing of the past and caused way too much pollution. We replaced it with the electricity engine I designed and Johnny helped build. The engine was so small it took up a quarter of what the petrol engine used, giving us the front to use as trunk space.
The engine was powered by an arc reactor in the center of it, making sure the car wouldn't run out of power in the next hundred years or so. Excessive? Sure, but totally awesome.
We redid the interior as well, putting in ergonomic seats, giving up plenty of legroom for those in the back and front. The seats were red and black, sort of sticking with the Spiderman theme here. The flimsy stainless steel body panels were replaced with a steel and titanium alloy. Never know when an supervillain will attack, could be useful.
Ben decided the gearbox was pointless, and since it ket breaking down it wouldn't be much use. So instead we converted the car into a automatic, made it much easier to drive.
Johnny then went a little crazy, we couldn't really stop him at this point. We said no to so many of his other request we kind of felt bad to be honest. Plus he kept giving me a puppy dog look, which was more disturbing than cute.
Johnny went to town on the car, he changed the suspension, put in a set of tires which he designed that would never puncture, made the windshield and windows out of bullet proof glass.
The doors opened upwards and we decided to keep them just the way they were. After a couple of more minor additions and adjustments Johnny's part was finished. He smiled, kept going on and on about how I should let him borrow it to pick up chicks.
I then began to work on the interior. I changed the entire dashboard, replacing it with smooth mahogany wood. I installed a HUD below the AC which was basically a miniature computer that regulated the car's engine and monitor all other functions.
I then decided to splurge a little and put in a kick ass music system as well. When we turned it on for the first time on max volume Sue had heard it all the way from her room. Needless to say she was pissed we woke her up.
"Hey Pete," Johnny asked me as I helped in put in the sound system.
"Yeah?"
"What do you think about this?" Johnny showed me a blueprint. I blinked as I examined it.
"Dude..."
"I know, but listen-"
"-Dude!"
"Come on! It'll be so cool!"
"...Dude?"
"The energy output will be more than enough, come on Pete, don't tell you haven't even thought off using it!"
I sighed before smiling and nodded, "dude."
We then got to work. We put in four repulsors on the bottom of the car near the wheels and one large one near the back that was designed to look like a spare tire holder. Ben kept asking what we were making, but we refused to tell him. Honestly though, I'm surprised he couldn't guess it.
And finally, it was done. We stepped back and admired it. The car had gotten a complete overhaul, but I decided to keep the outwards grey colour, with neon blue timmings running down the side that glowed when I turned on the headlights.
