Dakota grips the steering wheel of his black, 2004 Dodge SRT4 ACR. He could remember the day he got it: It was a warm summer day and Dakota had just received his license. He was excited at the time and remembered flying through the car lots, looking at each car. Dakota had only a little money to spend on his car since the rest went for house payments and luxuries. The best he could get was a Dodge SRT4 ACR, which to him was basically a Neon. Being the impatient pegasi that he was, Dakota bought the car and soon felt buyers remorse. It didnt have enough horsepower, the thing was a magic hog, no mare would be caught dead in his dinky little car. Despite all this, Dakota stuck with it for he knew that everyponies first car was special and he wasnt about to let the first car he ever owned go.

Dakota pulls up to the racetrack and gets out of his car.
"Hmm....I think" He looks around, "I think I should visit the mechanic first. You need a quick check up, and after that street race we got in, I think your flywheel might have gotten a crack in it." Dakota says to his car, as if it were a pony.

Draco on the other hand was currently busy working on an old steam car for a customer. Steam cars were tricky to fix up. The wood would rot away it would warp. The metal rusted from the water being inside the pipes. Plenty of work for this pegasus. Now working on the cars of lemons. Now that was his bread and butter. Parts imported to replace old ones. Ah that was a good one.

Dakota gets back into his car and starts it up. He looks at the signs and spots the sign that read 'garage'. He revs his engine a few times and follows the arrows. Dakota was a little nervous to go to the mechanics. Sure the mechanic might be skilled and worked on every engine type from crank to v16, but the thought of somepony other than him touching his baby made him anxious. Dakota didnt have much of a choice in the matter. As per the rules, all cars were to be brought into the garage for an inspection. Probably to see if ponies put in a highly illegal modification like Nitrous or magic boosters.

As he pulled into the garage, Dakota immediately the rarest sights of all time: a steam powered automobile. He had only seen a few in museums, others Dakota saw in magazines. The tall grey pegasus got out of his car and gazed at the wonder.
"Woah" He says.

Draco heard the car come in "A 2004 Dodge SRT4 ACR but the mechanic who did the job was abit sloppy in his work. I think trying to make it into a racing car?" Draco asked as he continued his work on the steam car. "So what do you want my friend?" Draco asked the stallion as he worked on the steam car. He was nearly done with fixing it up.

Dakota snapped out of his trance and looked at the mechanic.

"Oh...um, I was told I needed to have my car checked out before entering the race." He says as he looks over the pegasi.

The mechanic didnt seem any older than he was. Dakota chose not to question his ability seeing as he was working on a steam engine. If you worked on those, you had to have patience parallel to those who defuse bombs.

"Alright then," Draco said as he stood up slowly cracking his back. "Now then let's take a look," Draco said as he looked under the hood. "It breaks my heart to see stuff like this," Draco said as he began to work on Dakota's car. And tuning up the speed and handling for him free of charge. . He checked under the car now. he was quick and efficient with his work getting rid of things the car didn't need but also adding parts the car needed to be a quick racer.

"So what is the damage?" Dakota asks as he watches the mechanic works.

Dakota saw the parts he took out and facepalmed himself. He added half those parts in the engine, thinking it would boost the overall break horsepower. Now that he thought about it, Dakota remembers he chose the cheaper parts to save money for even more parts. Had he worked to get more highscale parts, Dakota would probably have a faster and more fit to race car.

Draco chuckled as he pushed himself from the car. "Since your a racer it's free starter gear," Dracco said but inwardly he was lying. It was high class stuff.  "You'll get 20% more horsepower behind the engine but don't stress it," Draco said as he closed the hood of the car. "And watch out for tight turns. The wheels can take it but you'll wear them out faster,"

"Sweet! I dont have enough money to pay...i kinda spent it all on gas getting here," Dakota says, ashamed of himself, "I try not to drive like a maniac, but when Im racing...its like another pony takes over and makes me push my car to the limit."

Dakota looks at his car, a sense of pride washing over him as he imagines beating everyone on the track.

Draco chuckled "IT's free," Draco said as he went back to work on the steam car. He smiled slightly. "Well the starter pack is free," Draco said as he stretched slightly. "ALright the steam car is done," Draco said as he looked at the finished product. "And it is beautiful,"

Dakota stands back and looks at the steam powered car and smiles, enjoying the subtle beauty of it. He looks back over at his car and smiles even wider, his wings shooting out. 

"Thanks! I better get to the first event...don't wanna get disqualified before I can even try."

Draco chuckled slightly as he saw the wings. "No need to get aroused by the car," Draco said jokingly as he pulled out a magazine to wait for the pony to retrieve the steam car. He was humming a song to himself as he kicked up his hooves onto his desk. "You better get going less you want to get disqualified,"
