Thread: The Good, the Bad, and the Fast (Sparxman and driven)

Thoughts were swirling through Roslyn's head, mostly involving the question of what Kai drove...and toying with the idea of putting together a track day. No, she hadn't known the FBI agent for any length of time, but being new to the area had left her entirely uncertain to the car scene, and finding someone who was as inclined towards the machines as she was certainly was heartening and encouraging. She supposed, though, that they should get through their first day with these assholes at...Ichabod Raceway she'd been told? She was going to have to get directions there, too... The fact that he was even dropping a little hint of encouragement about continuing her escapades with the local police officers was nearly enough to make her laugh out loud. Although the teasing mention of wrapping her car in pink earned him a little glare and sarcastic eye roll. Yeah, sure. I'll wrap it in pink polk-a-dots and flowers. And maybe even throw on a few Barbie stickers for good measure, she snorted. His comment regarding utilizing the FBI's budget brought a little wistful sigh past her lips. Can the FBI get me maybe an early nineties Mustang? I could go for a light little Notchback 5.0 for a little extra fun on the side... she grinned playfully. The late eighties and early nineties Mustangs were certainly not the best looking, but what they lacked in looks, they made up for in less weight and girth than her current Mustang. While she loved her car, a fox body might even be a little more nimble. The comment regarding her skills now being appreciated by law enforcement nearly triggered another roll of her eyes. She was, essentially, only doing this to get her car back. The fact that it involved doing something she loved was a little bit of a bonus, but she knew, at the very least, the local law enforcement would be less-than accommodating to her, no matter the outcome of the assignment. That was the impression she had gotten from her brief interactions with them, at any rate. Then again, she didn't quite care enough to dwell on it for any length of time. Let them think what they would. She certainly didn't appreciate his teasing, although she knew that was just what it was. She was much too anxious to get back behind the wheel of her car, however, and make sure everything was still in working order. She didn't grace his feigned misinterpretation with an answer, it wasn't until he asked his question that she quirked a brow at him. You prove yourself worthy, and I'll let you take her for a spin... maybe , she smirked playfully. If he was even half as good as his confidence suggested, she just might consider it. When he finally vacated the driver's seat, a grin spread like wildfire across her expression. Finally ! she laughed, trotting around the front of her idling baby and dropping into the driver's seat. She pulled the door closed and settled back into the Recaro racing seat, pulling the harness around and buckling it in front of her as always. She gripped the wheel and did a cautionary sweep of her mirrors, ensuring nothing was out of place or adjusted without her knowledge. When she was finally comfortable, her grin became a mischievous smirk. Me? Speed? I would never, she finally spoke, setting her hand on the shifter, pushing in the clutch and shifting into first to slowly ease her way towards the lot's exit. The tinted windows would not allow the guard to see inside, although the way he watched them pass made her roll her eyes. It wasn't until she was at the lot's exit that she dumped the clutch and mashed the throttle, spinning the rear tires and peeling out into a brief slide onto the main road, rapidly and smoothly shifting gears until she was at a cruising speed safely within the speed limit. She was beyond relaxed at that point, the rapid take off having sent the rpms high and the engine's exhaust note pleasantly loud within the cabin. At cruising, it was just loud enough to be heard and pleasant. So...where exactly is this track? I was given directions but all I really remember is the left turn I just took out of the lot, she laughed.
