The Machine, based out of a Top Secret bunker in an undisclosed location...

Sequels1

T

For Morris Cole, life is pretty predictable. Between his night job at the local transportation hub, and his side business as a roving computer tech, things are pretty good. Not financially secure, but good. That's why he relies on his other line of work... as a professional Transporter. As long as your item fits aboard his supercharged 2008 Hyundai Elantra, he'll get it where it needs to be. And then one day, he took the job offered by a young woman with teal and white hair...

5657376 Thanks! I checked, and there is nothing like this on the site, so I thought I'd take a crack at it.

loves it all! i hope to see a sequel!

5728340 Glad you liked it. We'll be entering Second Gear soon...

5754362 Thanks!

Indeed, Mr. Cole will return.

You're right. There probably isn't anything else like this on the site. It's an interesting read for sure, although you might want to do a quick typo check. Certainly well worth a read; and I'll be keeping an eye out for another instalment.

5761614 Thanks for the fav, and advice! I'll do my best to edit chapters closely, and provide an interesting second installment.

Well written story, that actually deserves more attention than it seems to have had so far.

Have a moustache for your obvious skill. :moustache:

6082926 Many Thanks. I do my best.

left twin trails of fiery discharge down the track.

Possible BTTF III reference there?

A great read!

Interesting character. I could see this guy be in a movie.

Bam! Shotgun diplomacy.

Well, pistol, but you know.

If there's not going to be a Morse code pun in this story, I'm going to be very disappointed.

Shhh... Don't spoil it!

Is this a crossover?

No. However, it IS inspired by a rather famous movie...

2008 Hyundai Elantra? Supercharged I'm guessing would be around 160-200 hp, depending on modifications and the extent of the work put into it, but why would you supercharge an Elantra, that's just defeating the purpose of it's fuel efficiency and even with the 2.0lt engine it might be on par with a stock Civic S, why not the Audi A8 that Jason Statham used in the movie? Or at least a midsized sedan with a V6 like the Maxima or something. Sorry I haven't read your story yet but that kinda bugged me. Ill give it a read though don't worry, and sorry I didn't mean to rant :twilightblush:

Well, everything besides his choice in transportation was pretty good, good job.

I picked it mostly because I drive (or, drove) one, so i know how it performs pretty well. Also, instead of flash and speed, like in the Transporter movies, this character relies mostly on concealment, and blending in, saving the vehicle's modified nature for quick bursts of speed, before blending back into the flow of traffic. Obviously, that doesn't work in the story setting, but that's a lot of his mindset at the start: create a vehicle that looks bland and unremarkable, yet hides surprising abilities.

In the real world, there is a turbocharged version of the Elantra that put out something like 300HP, but it's also clearly modified...

In the end though, thanks for reading, and I'm glad you liked it!

I can see what you mean, it did pop up in my head but, on the other hand something like a Mazda speedster, or even a Chevy SS or a Ford Taurus would also serve that blending in four door midsized sedan look while being a sleeper. Or even something like a SUV fusion, like a Crosstrek or V6 outback or a V6 escape. Good, fast, versatile, and makes you look inconspicuous. Cut I can also see where you're coming from with it was a vehicle you've owned.
