Need For Speed: Enter the Volkswagen

Street Scene

That same night, at 2am, in the quiet streets of Miami, if you listen closely you can hear the faint sound of cars driving. Tires screeching, engines roaring, turbo whistling, oh wait, it's a street race!

A Civic Si, a Corolla GTS, a BMW 525i, and a Volvo 240, all 4 of them are racing through the empty city, going over 120 miles per hour. The Civic is ahead of all of them by 20 feet, the Corolla is so desperately trying to keep up while the 240 and 525i are battling for 3rd. The Civic cuts a corner pretty quickly, the Corolla drifts close behind and the 525i follows with a handbrake drift, unfortunately the 240 doesn't drift and it has to try to turn like the Civic, but it's rear wheel drive so it slows down a little too much. The Civics turbo whistles as it shifts gear and starts to pull away from the other 3. The Corolla keeps up pretty well with its supercharger but the 525i and 240 aren't doing so well.

Eventually all 4 of them pass a bunch of people who are cheering loudly, all 4 cars slow down and the drivers walk out of them. Connor, the driver of the Volvo, sits on the hood and pouts. Maya walks away from her BMW and walks up to him. "Hey, you doing alright?" She asks him in a calm tone of voice. Connor looks at her mad and snaps a little "No! No the hell I'm not."

The people who were watching the race crowd Mike and his Civic, praising him for how well he did and how great he is a driving. Mike enjoys all the attention and just stays there listening to the crowds compliments, clearly letting it get to his head. James however walks over to Connor to try to cheer him up. "hey man, don't be so down, it's supposed to be fun" James says to Connor enthusiastically. Connor doesn't listen and looks away, "Yeah whatever..." He says angrily.

Mike sees Connor angry and walks over to him. "Hey, calm down, it's just for fun, we're not betting money here" he says to him in a calm tone of voice. Connor looks up at him then nods "Yeah I guess you're right" he responds finally calming down. Maya gets an idea and goes to her 525i, "Connor, get in your car and follow me!" she says super excited. "uh ok?" Connor replies confused before getting in his Volvo and they zoom off into the distance.
