The Unknown Fleet - Chapter 26

- Chapter 26 - The Panda Corolla -

...

Sherwin is all alone in his apartment he's been living on for about 3 months already... And the only mode of transportation he's had is his bicycle, and its tires are almost worn out.

Sherwin: "I've been wondering... When can I get a car like Lance and Uno?"

Lance, like always, has his beloved FC3S, and he's currently doing runs on Izu Skyline. And Uno's R32, to which... He hasn't been driving for a few days now. It's only Sherwin now who hasn't gotten a ride. But, that's about to change.

Alarm rings

Sherwin: "Agh, it's a Saturday..."

After a few minutes of doing his morning routine, he goes outside for a small walk to the park.

Sherwin: "Hmm... If I were to acquire a car, what would it be? I'd like an FC as well like Lance's, or an AE86! A popular choice for mountain racers."

After a few minutes of walking, Sherwin encounters Lance, who was talking with Satoshi.

Sherwin: "Hey Lance!"

Lance hears this and looks in the direction Sherwin's at.

Lance: "Oh hey, it's the winning man."

Sherwin: "What's that kind of nickname for me?"

Lance: "I mean, it's true sometimes."

Sherwin: "Hah! I suppose so."

Lance: "Alright, you're about to head back Satoshi?"

Satoshi: "Yeah, I'ma head off, I'll catch y'all later."

Lance: "Alright... Anyway, what brings you here, Sherwin?"

Sherwin: "Oh, nothing, just taking a walk."

Lance: "Okay, wanna head to the nearby shops with those cars?"

Sherwin: "Hey! Sure!"

Lance: "It's a few days and it's September already... It's been a long time already, huh?"

Sherwin: "Yeah, time flies really quick."

As both of them walk down the street, they see the tune shops, although they were there during the 1990s... They've been demolished nowadays or converted to other business shops.

Lance: "Ah yes, that's a good looking Nissan S130... Nissan Z's are my favorites aside from RX-7s..."

Sherwin: "Yep, but an Corolla or Silvia's are still the best choices to go for when racing in mountains. Yes?"

Lance: "I suppose, but I own an FC myself."

Sherwin: "I know, you don't need to go boasting it out."

Lance: "Since when?"

Sherwin: "Nevermind."

The shop had a lot of rare cars. From the Toyota Celica Supra, Nissan S30Zs and Toyota AE86s. The 86s caught Sherwin's attention.

Sherwin: "You know... I've been wanting a car like you and Uno."

Lance: "Hmm? Ah, I see... Maybe we can try getting you one?"

Sherwin: "I guess... I really want to own an 86 or FC, hell, maybe even the new FD Mazda released."

Lance: "The third generation huh... Okay."

Sherwin: "But we don't have yen. What can we do?"

Lance: "Hold up."

Lance goes into his instinctual thinking process on how they can get a car without paying... Then an idea popped in.
