Haha, okay maybe not exactly the best next thing...but yeah, either way it'll be sorta cool
Part 7Many weeks have passed. With Kathy busy with school and her dance classes, she was always busy during the day while I was busy with my own job during the evenings, so we didn;t see each other much throughout the day, and when we did, it wasn't more than at least thirty minutes. Luckily, we were both given about two weeks off for the holidays so we spent most of that time just being together.
Christmas finally came and Kathy surprised me with a new helmet
And a new set of Buddy Club P1s
And finally, it was my turn to give her my gift, the locket that I ordered from amazon a few weeks back, only now, it contained a picture of both of us. Judging by her silence and the tears that started to flow from her eyes, she either hated it, or loved it. I assumed the latter as one thing lead to another and yeahhhhhh.
So anyway, because the FRS couldn't clear the snow at all with the new ride height, I had to take the bus for the last couple of weeks to go to work. Quite, frankly, I'm tired of it. Luckily, the last couple of weeks before I was given my vacation payed well enough, that I had a bunch of money saved up in the bank to buy another car!
I remember seeing a bunch of Sti's being unloaded at one of the dealers at Carson so I decided to test my luck there. There was a bunch there, all looking like they had just rolled off from the factory. Only problem was, there wasn't a WHITE one! Seriously, they had every other color, but white there. Hell, they even had a couple in the less common sonic yellow and san remo red, but NO WHITE!
I was then interrupted by my inner rant by a middle aged woman who asked,"Excuse me sir, is there anything I can help you with?" She seemed to be wearing a dress skirt of some sort and a blazer so I assumed she was one of the salesman here.
"Yeah, I was wondering if you had anymore Subaru's like those over there, but in white?" I questioned, pointing at the brigade of rally cars.
"Oh yes! You're just in luck. We actually have one more in the shop where it should be having it's fluids change. Shall I pull it out for you?"
My "Yes, that would be swell."
She gave me a nod before dismissing herself to get pull out the Subaru. A few minutes later, she finally pulled up the car into the dealer's parking lot. I finally got a good look at it and my face of excitement suddenly became a face of...surprised? The car that entered the lot wasn't a Subaru, but it was actually...

An Evo. It certainly wasn't what I asked for and how the lady mistook an Impreza for a Lancer was completely beyond me, but hey at least its white. The lady stepped out of the car, giving me the change to check out the car. It looked pretty good and seemed to be running in tip top shape. Mileage was a little under thirty thousand, which was pretty low for a car of this year in my book. I told the lady I'm interested and asked how much they were asking for it.
"Well we're looking for $30,000, before taxes, registration, etc. Or best offer."
"Oh I see..." The price they wanted was way to much out of my budget and I doubt I'll be able to get them to lower the price to what I was looking for...looks like I might have to let this one go...not until I get to test drive it at least.
I asked the lady for a test drive before making a final offer and of course she agreed. We got in the vehicle and she began directing me to where the highway was. And this is where all hell breaks loose...
We came to a stop light, right before the entrance to the ramp to get on the highway.

"I won't launch it, I won't launch it, I won't launch it..." I chanted as I started reving the engine a bit.
The lady gave me a cautious look, asking what I was doing. I ignored her and continued my little chant and reving the car, which soon turned to bouncing off the rev limiter.
Finally, the light went green. I dumped the clutched and stomped on the gas as if my life depended on it..

80...90...100...110...120...130...140. I start letting off the gas for the sake of the screaming lady who probably made my right ear go deaf. She demanded me to drive right back to the lot. I shrugged nonchalantly and began driving back to the dealer.
"So about the price..." I started.
"If you promise to never come back again, $20,000 and its yours." She said flatly.
'Well this worked out well!' I thought. Deciding to press my luck I asked, "Out the door?"
She hesitated for a bit, before giving me a look that turned into a sour expression as she thought of the wild ride a few minutes ago.
"Yes...out the door."
"Deal!" I exclaimed. We finally got to the dealer before I could even stop the car, she jumped out and ran back inside the dealership, probably wanting to get as far away from me as she could. I laughed and started petting the steering wheel of my new "Highway Queen" and headed home.
