Vinyl's New Wheels

The Need For Speed

As Vinyl Scratch flipped through the pages of her car magazine, she sighed. Looking out the window, she could see ponies having fun in their cars. Watching them have fun was practically torture to her. She sighed again and began flipping through once more.

She looked up from what she was reading. "Octavia, you're the richest one. Can't you buy me a car? A really good one?" she yelled across the room.

"Vinyl, quit begging me about it. I told you I'd give you thirty thousand bits to spend and that's it. No million-bit supercars around here, because they're just too expensive to own." replied Octavia.

Vinyl sat back on the sofa and began flipping through the pages once more. She was about to give up hope on finding a truly fast car for thirty thousand bits when suddenly, a tremendous stroke of luck hit her. She saw an ad in her magazine that would cause her eyes to flip open like window blinds. "1990 Skyline GT-R R32: Better performance than most modern supercars, imported from Japan, 30,000 bits."

Immediately she set out to buy this car. Something was telling her that she needed it. She ran up to the dealer that was selling it and purchased it. This was a decision that would forever change Vinyl Scratch.

The minute she drove onto the road from the dealer, the sounds of Nissan's RB26 engine, which was a 333 horsepower Inline 6 engine, poured into Vinyl's eardrums. It was a sound like no other, the sound of a monster ready to pounce upon its prey. She revved it, and the sound it made was one that gave Vinyl the need to go faster. She began to push her lower hoof down further on the gas pedal. Instantly, she felt as if she were traveling back in time. Everything around her suddenly faded out and didn't matter anymore. She felt invincible.

And invincible, she was. Another sports car, a Viper GTS-R, was just ahead. The two ponies in the car couldn't help but notice Vinyl's GT-R R32 in their rear view. They didn't get to see the R for very long, however, for at that moment it shot by them and vanished out of their view within seconds. "What a machine!" said one of the ponies. "A whole different level of acceleration!" said the other.

Vinyl couldn't have been happier with her decision. This new R32 was the fastest thing she had ever seen, and it was all hers. Simply being behind the wheel of such a monster made her want to just keep going faster forever.

Vinyl pulled up to their home, and got out of her R32. "This thing's amazing." she said. "Just wait until Octavia sees it."

Octavia quickly came outside. "I could hear you pull up in our driveway." said Octavia. "What kind of car is this?"

"It's an R32." said Vinyl. "The fastest of the fast."

"I see." said Octavia, not knowing what to expect. "Just don't get too many speeding tickets."

Octavia wasn't sure what to think, but she was pretty sure that Vinyl's relationship with her wouldn't be affected too much. She was wrong. As the days went on, Vinyl began to spend less time with Octavia and more time with her R. With this coming into matters, Octavia began to get worried about her friend.
