Ok, I had an idea for a racing fic for a long time...however I never really felt like writing it until a friend thought the idea was good. So I took half a week to write this...and...well...enjoy the result. And yes, before you say it, there's a lot of similarities to Durarara and the "America" in the story is not the real-life USA. The first part could be boring and I'll admit the chatroom scene is long...eh.
City Of Redline Nights; Welcome to the Cityside

My name is Cody Hendrick. I have been living in this bland, boring and slow countryside in the middle of the "great" (see my sarcasm there?) state of Alabama. I always dreamed of moving into a big city like Springfield, Texas or Piedmont, California. Preferably Piedmont, since I love cars. Ohh yes, I love cars. I love their power, I love their speed, I love their sound and the smell of their oil. However, due to the fact there isn't a car dealer near a 100-mile radius here, I haven't been able to get a vehicle, even though I passed my driving test with flying colors. Besides, one reason I love cars is the racing scene, but there isn't anything near good car racing here. There isn't a racetrack anywhere near us, and there's nobody to street race with. Hell, everyone in this town drives a old, boring Ford pickup. I remember when the principal of my school bought a Chevy Cavalier and every kid drooled all over it. Piedmont, if you don't know yet, is the street racing paradise of the country; better yet, it's perfectly legal in certain areas near the city, especially the district of South Paradise near downtown. How awesome is that?

Well, today I'm happy to announce that is all changing tomorrow.

You see, it started one day while I was chatting online with my childhood friend Kenny. Kenny used to live in the same town as me, but now he lives in South Paradise, CA in the smack middle of the street racing scene in Piedmont. He owns a shiny red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution that makes 400hp on the dyno test. I dreamed of driving that car since 3 years ago, when Kenny got his license and he bought that car by using his dad's money...er, using the salary from his car repair job.

Then an invitation came. At first I wasn't even thinking of going to college outside of my state. However, Kenny sent me an invite to enter Piedmont University. That will give me a chance to finally live my dream in Piedmont, California. Even better, the housing in South Paradise is dirt cheap, Kenny's boss has a job spot for me at the repair/tuning shop that he works at. Meanwhile, I can use my heavy savings to pay off 6 months of rent, 2 years of college and a car. Well, it does help when your parents earn $300000 a year...

So, before I depart, lemme check that online chat room that Kenny and I are a part of...hmm.
