Today is the first day of summer! The heat in your room is unbearable and is imposible to try to sleep, almost as if someone set the NIGHT ON FIRE. Not completely unexpected from a summer night, but it is still more than you can bear. To pass some time you hop into your computer to browse DAVESLIST for a used car. As a someone in your early twentysomething you still don’t have a car of your own. School has consumed most of your time and energy and because out of laziness you don’t have a stable job, but working odd jobs and with an allowance, you have managed to save a small budget for your first car: around $4,000.

While browsing in Daveslist a few things catch your eye, such as a completely restored 1970 VW BUS, with an asking price of $35,000. Cute but really out of your budget. A clever title catches your eye: 1973 DATSUN 240Z NO TITLE NO PAPERS $250 OBO. As you click the ad, you see that the car is sitting on a field with no tires, and the ad clearly states NOT RUNNING. You think to your self that maybe with the rest of the budget you could have it running by the end of the summer, but you are unsure about wrenching all summer in your garage. Specially since your father wants you to go to college and become an auditor like him. You aren’t sure about that.

While he was still alive, your grandfather used to tell you stories about his time as a Navy Mechanic and how he used to be a car mechanic on the side. Sometimes he would take you to his shop and help him with his special costumers cars. You fondly remember the time you went for ice cream in an old MG Roadster he had and how the wind made your hair dance. You get a little sad about this, and think maybe seeing a convertible would be a good idea…

...

After hours of searching, you have a small list of prospective cars you would like to buy and all of them in your budget range:

> 1970 Datsun 240Z NO TITLE NO PAPERS $250 O.B.O
> 1991 Jeep Cherokee XJ Rock Crawler Off Road 4x4 4 door CHEAP $3900
> 2003 Honda Accord AUTOMATIC BEIGE LOW MILES $2700
> 1987 Toyota MR2 - MANUAL BLUE RUNS GREAT NO SUPERCHARGER $3500
> 1995 Nissan 200SX SE-R RARE Royal Blue Purple Pearl! 5-Speed B14 SR20 - $2950
> 1980 Mercedes Wagon TURBO DIESEL MANUAL - $1300
> 1995 Ford Mustang Convertible - $2600

Old cars have a place, but kids need one that just works - we want to get from A to B, nothing more fancy...
We have better things to do during summer anyway: look into being an auditor like father, meet friends, pick up girls

MR-2

'YOTA FOR LYF!

I forgot something, for racing or other miscellaneous choices we will use a d100. 1-5 critical failures, 95-100 critical success. But if you figure a way to bypass the rolls, feel free to suggest it.


You fell asleep on your keyboard with various car ads open on the screen. Now you have to clean this because you rolled on it, yuck.

Promptly after eating a bowl of cereal, you get your phone and start calling all of the sellers to see if they could meet up. You feel strongly connected to the Sentra, the MR-2, the mustang and the Accord.

You call all of them and set up dates for seeing the cars. The guy with the Mustang and the lady with the MR2 are available to see them today!

While chatting with the Accord owner, your father seems quite pleased. After you hang the phone he says:

- Good to see your are looking at a sensible car, and not one of those scary fast things you like. You remind me of my father with your weird fascination of cars...

You only roll your eyes and call your friend Peter and ask him for a ride and to help you choose a car. You remember him from your auto mechanic class back in high school and have been friends ever since. He works as a mechanic and you dream to have his job. Or at least be surrounded by cars everyday. You are perfectly capable of knowing if a car is a complete wasted of money, but having Peter to support our decision is wise. After that you could hang out with him.

As you head out, you notice the mail on the floor. A singular letter stands out, and you see that is for your grandpa. Its from the local self storage company saying that he needs to relocate soon, because his contract has expired and the grace period is almost over. You ask your father about this and he says he knows nothing about a self storage location. He leaves for work after drinking his morning coffee.

Looking at the addresses of the owners, you notice the self storage is right between the two owners locations.

The moment you step out of the door, your drivers license falls from your pocket.

> What does the license says? Name, Sex, general description.
>What car does Peter show up to pick us up?
>Do we check the self-storage locker to see what Grandpa has hidden from the rest of the family?

Olivia! Olivia your license!

You hear a voice from inside, is your mother calling you for getting the your license. But its too late. You are already inside Peter's 1990 MAZDA RX-7. You are proud of the progress he has made to his car, and remember how it wast just an empty shell when you first saw it in mechanics class.

You greet him and talk about the plan to see the MR2, the mustang and then go check out the self storage go your grandpa. He isn't sure about going to check out a Mustang, but he doesn't objects too much because its your money after all.

The ride to the Mustang's owner ride is pretty uneventful. You are daydream about your car owner and all the wonderful things you are going to do. A big THUNDER interrupts you train of thought and you notice how the sky is turning from blue to dark grey. You are somewhat close, but you aren't completely sure Peter knows this neighborhood well.

It starts to rain, a cat crosses the road suddenly, Peter miss shifts, and the cars begins to slide...

Also, car* made a mistake earlier.

With an very controlled movement, Peter reach the steering wheel and counter steers making a sweet drift! He manages to straighten up the car before hitting a nearby light pole.

You reach the mustang owner home and you see a car on the driveway with a car cover.

Had a hectic week and forgot about this. Im sorry. We could go until we get pushed off, or idk. Your call if we continue or not.

Oh, no. Oh, gawd no. Maybe it wasn't clear in the ad, but you remember this exact same mustang from high school. Everything's the same about it, the same deep blue color, the small dent in the rear bumper from hitting a pole, the PRINCESS sticker on the windshield. This is Mandy's Mustang and you are standing in front of Mandy's house.

Oh no. You are not here to be friends with her again; not after pushing you to Linda's pool on her 12th birthday party. Your mother and Mandy's mother have been friends since childhood and thought their daughters would be good friends. You went to all Mandy's birthdays parties and she went to yours. But in your 8th birthday you started to notice Mandy wasn't as nice as she pretended to be. Your first red flag was that she took a bowl of candy you mother put for all the kids to share. Things got sour between you in Mandy as the years went by and left went to different middle schools. Until you were put back in the same class in high school.

Peter asks you whats wrong. And you can only say: Mandy.

Peter wants to know of you are going to see he car or if we should get going. You think about it for a second, but before you can answer a voice call you from inside the house.

Olivia? Olivia is that you!

Mandy mom's has seen you.

As soon as you hear the front door opening you signal and shout to Peter to get going. He drops it into first and get out of there. You know Mandy's mom isn't a bad person like her daughter but you know that she REALLY likes to talk and if you go in and talk to her, half of your day will be gone. Anyways, her mustang wasn't the 5.0 Vainilla Ice sang about, and it was probably an automatic.

After wandering the streets of this part of town you realize that you are kinda lost and dash clock of Peter's car says it is almost 1:00 p.m. Probably the MR-2 owner is waiting for us, but there's no way to reach it from here. You stop at local gas shop and you send Peter inside to ask for directions. A quick look around and a sign catches your eye. Its the self storage place!

You see Peter coming in with a small map and a bag of chips.
