This Girl Can Drive

Sharna: Well you know me, I'm always good, just trying to stay out of trouble and making sure others are too. You?

Maui: Of course, wouldn't be you if you weren't. Me? I'm good. Currently waiting on an order to arrive

Sharna: I wouldn't be me if I wasn't good? I mean if I recall correctly I haven't always been good. And you know that ;)

Sharna: hey it's been a hot minute.

Maui: it has. how are things?

Of course, she had no nefarious purposes for following Sharna, she simply wanted to say hi. And maybe tell her that she was planning on actually getting her driver’s licence soon (being scolded by a stranger for not having one might have escalated her plans slightly) and ask if she wanted to help. She would have asked Sven, but he had a tendency to take the whole dad thing a little too seriously at times, and she was still a little too intimidated by Cruz to ask her to help with something like that. “Hi!” Vanessa greeted brightly, tilting her head to the side. “What do you mean by ‘dress to impress your own family’?”

She didn’t want to disappoint one more person in her life and she couldn’t tell Vanessa, that she was in jail, convicted of a few really bad things and then how she basically sold herself out to Hayden to get the charges dropped. Not to mention her family practically disowning her for her jail time, and her life of just wrongdoings in the name of speed. 

“Oh well my mother she’s very hard to please when it comes to appearances, I usually am the black sheep at family events because I usually have some sort of grease stain on my clothes” 

Not a total lie, but not the whole truth. 

“sorry I’ve not been around people for a while mainly just working in the shop and going home because of circumstances” she said before looking at the engine just to be safe “when I work on the car, I am like a doctor okay, I have to check all the areas and then focus on the main problem as to not over look any other issues. And trust me, your car, she’s not my type.” she said sweetly to him before saying ‘if you want to leave her here I’ll have her done in a few hours” 

“Can you picture me with anything pink?” she said crossing her arms walking with him again “it was chilly but alright.” 

“Oh no the box they stole they thought it looked like a safe mainly because it was an old one I had lying around.” she said jokingly before looking at the man “Well the weather is well you know the weather it changes a lot.” she said walking with him. 

Sharna couldn't help but giggle at the man when he said that he could fix it himself and should have made an appointment she figured her sarcasm was evident in her comment about making an appointment but apparently not. She walked over to the man and held out her hand saying "no no need for the extra money I can fix it no worries just relax and it'll be ok" she walked over to the register and handed him a form to fill out " okay just fill in your basics here and I'll take a look at this beautiful car" she said smirking before opening the hood and looking inside. 

Keith was currently driving Tic Tac, his 1967 Jaguar E-Type, down to Hankes Body Shop. He’d noticed her brakes squeaking the other day and was taking her in to get it checked out.

He would really prefer to fix it himself, but since The Incident three years back his resources had become limited. He’d been allowed to keep his cars, but he didn’t have access to the old garage where he had his good tools. He would have bought more, but it’s hard to invest in several thousands (tens of thousands, really) of dollars worth of tools when you’re getting paid just above the salary of a normal go-kart center manager.

He parked in the small lot outside the building, walked up and knocked on the door to the office. “H’lo? Thomeone in there?”

Sharna was working on a 1970 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda, it was green with a black racing stripe on side, it was for her friend and she knew that it would take a while to get it back into the shape that it should be. She looked at the engine, over and over again, “Well I suppose you will take a few more days until you are back to the way it’s supposed to be.” she said closing the hood and looking at the green monster before her. “You are a right, trouble maker aren’t you?” she said to the car again before hearing someone knocking on the door, she turned down the AC/DC and walked over to the door wiping her hands off with the rag “Um hello, by appointment only, sorry..” 

“They thought it was money but jokes on them, it was just a lot of wrenches.” she said chuckling “right I believe they will be rather toolish when they find out, they are screwed” she said blushing embarrassingly at her pun. “I’m Sharna, lovely to meet you.”
