Can I have your VIN?

The Trans Am Turbo shuddered to sleep, its turbos wound down, and it was over.

I stepped out of the Pontiac into the shattered wreckage of the parts and service department. It was as if a bomb had gone off, but you should know better by now.

A sign advertising the relatively low cost of the shop’s transmission services broke free from its one remaining mounting chain and fell onto a Roadforce machine. I regarded it coolly, knowing that even if it were to tumble over and scratch my hood, that it wouldn’t even come close to the huge gashes put in my intricately slapped together Bondo-job by the parts counter itself. Faux-marble was a lot harder than I had counted on, but it too yielded to the Pontiac, my will made manifest and imposed upon the world.

I stretched my arms and rolled my head from shoulder to shoulder, trying to work out the kink that I picked up when my head hit the cage after the Turbo rammed its way through the trade-in lot’s back fence. Stepping across the foyer, my racing boots crunched broken safety (and un-safety) glass underfoot. What I wanted was behind the desk.

“C-can I have your VIN number?” screamed the parts desk representative. Challenged in his world view, he now resorted to a childlike understanding of his place in the universe, imperious to the last. This was going to get worse before it got better.

I know all of these words seperately.

Nice. Just read through the whole file.

Is there more to it? seems a little disjointed, like I’m reading random chapters from a book.

(when did the trans-am got a twin-turbo setup?)

That’s what happens when they let you out of your “Safety Seat”

okay my interest is piqued.

when and where can I get more?

You have quite a writing style; the first one had a definite Christine-y vibe to it.

Thanks! All of the ones I’ve posted so far have originated on my tumblr ( http://seat-safety-switch.tumblr.com/ ) but I’ve let them out onto Oppo to see if I get any responses outside of bald contempt or utter confusion.

what’s the response so far?

I’d introduce it, personally. just seeing the text without any indication of what it is can be confusing.

I’ll definitely check out your Tumblr; is there any particular order for the texts?

Mostly just confusion. I was doing it for fun, maybe i should do something serious.

No order. There’s not really any continuity either, I plan on introducing another weird origin story for the Trans Am Turbo (in order to add more confusion) at a future date.

At the very least, you should arrange a few of them in a semi cohesive state and print out a collection of some kind.

I’d honestly pay money (car-parts money, mind you) for that.
