Dexter

Dexter It was a warm but windy Monday morning, I had just got out of bed…. Oh wait let me introduce myself, Hi My name is Dexter, I live in Los Angeles and have a passion for cars. I own a shop called Los Santos Customs in the middle of LA.I aslo race In Formula drift pro 1. Now back to where I was at, I had just got out of bed, I went and put some clothes on. I rushed to the Garage and just like i left it my car was still in pieces. I was building a 1998 Nissan Skyline R35. I brought it for 1,000 Dollars off my mate, I disassembled it and was thinking about building a new drift car for FD. Well I have to get to work, I’ll just go let my keys, I got my keys and hoped in my 2019 Nissan GTR R35.I drove to work like a normal day. I arrived at
Los Santos Customs and parked my car inside on a lift. I had somebody coming in at 9:20am to pick up their car, I just had to put the wheels on the car and then it was done. I bolted the wheels on the car and made sure it started and It did,It was 9:12am So they weren't going to be here for another 8 minutes so I took it for a test drive, It drove really nice, I got back to the shop and they guy just arrived, He looked at the car and was really happy so he handed me the money and put it on his trailer and drove off. I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through Facebook Marketplace to find a new project for the shop. My other worker would be here in 10 minutes to start his shift so I could go pick up a new car. I found one. It was a 1997 Toyota Corolla AE86 for 900 dollars. I messaged the seller about it and made a time I could go pick the car up, My other worker Jacob had just arrived I told him I’ll be back in half an hour so he said “Okay boss” I hopped in the work truck and attached the trailer to the back of it. I drove out to his house in the middle of nowhere, I backed into his driveway and knocked on his door. He came out and showed me the car. It looked like it was in good condition so I gave him the money and loaded it up on my trailer. I drove back to my work and parked the truck and trailer. I grabbed Jacob and we went out to get some lunch. We went to Mac donalds he ordered a double cheeseburger with extra cheese and a Frozen coke, I Ordered a Triple cheeseburger and a frozen coke. We ate and by the time we were done both of our shifts were over, We drove back to the shop and closed up and went home, I strait away went to work on my R34, I started putting the custom made suspension in for the front and then moved onto the back. It was getting late and I was hungry so I left it where I was and went and made Mac and cheese. I was kind of tired so I got in bed and watched some netflix.



 I woke up and decided I was going to take a day of work so I called Jacob and asked if he could open up and close down the shop, I went into my garage and started on my car from where I left off, I started on the rear end after a couple of hours the rear suspension was done with the brakes and every thing. I Lined the brake for the hydro E-Brake and then bolted the hydro E-Brake into the car next to the shiftier. Then I connected the lines up and bleed the brakes, I moved onto the front end and after 3 ½ hours that was done. I line the front and rear brakes to the brake pedal and then bleed it. The engine for the car was ready to pick up so I drove to get that. When I picked it up the guy working on it asked me “What's the engine for?” I said “It's for my new project drift car” I loaded it in the back and then drove back home. I loaded the engine onto an engine crain and then put it in place in the engine bay. I did some of the bolts up and then left it for the night.

 When I woke up I went straight to my garage because the shop was closed today. I started by doing the rest of the bolts up for the engine and then went on to wire it. The wiring took 2 hours to do. I was getting kind of hungry so I order mac Donald of uber eats. When my food arrived I ate it in 2 seconds flat. I got back to work on my car and tried to start it for the first time. It didn't start the first time… Or the 2nd but 3rd time lucky and it started, I revved it up a bit and it held a steady idle. I shut it off and then put some wheels on the car and Screwed a old shift knob. I got in the car, started it up and took it for a test drive. I got onto the main street and then got pulled over by a cop, He walked up to the door frame and said “Okay now where are your doors,Fenders,hood,Trunk lid and windows” I relied with “I don't know” He gave me a warning and I drove home, I reversed the car back into the garage and then put it back on the lift and took the wheels off and started putting  everything, back togather. I put the car on a trailer and drove it to a drift car shop where they will do everything else for it,

 1 Year Later

 After a year I got a call saying my pro 1 car is done, I drove up to ther shop and had look at it, The car was PERFECT like I mean P E R F E C T. I gave him all the money and a little extra and loaded the car on the trailer. Drove home and unloaded the car

Camping

One day My mate messaged me and asked “Bro wanna do a challenge” I replied to that message with “Yea sure, But what type of challenge” He said “You have a 2000 dollars as a budget to build a truck to go off roading and camping in” I replied with “Challenge Accepted” I didn't hazatate and went straight onto Facebook Marketplace. I found a 1998 Toyota Hilux surf for 500 bucks. They said it did run but needed a new battery. The next day I got in my Nissan Skyline with a trailer and a battery and set off to get the truck. When I arrived I could already see it. It was sitting in his front yard, I pulled up the driveway and honked the horn. He came out of the garage so I opened my door and got out of my Skyline. He said “Here the truck go take a look around if you want” I looked around and the truck looked pretty good, There were a couple dents but that was it, I handed him the money and he said “You gonna tow the truck with your skyline?” I said “Nope you will see” I Grabbed the new Battery and put it in the truck, It started right up and ran pretty good. I moved it forward in front of my skyline and then got out. I said to him “Let me just back the skyline out” I drove the car out and onto the road. I unhooked the trailer from the car and then got him to help me push it up his driveway. I hocked it onto the truck and then drove the skyline onto the trailer. I said “That's how I'm getting it home” I backed the truck out of the driveway with the trailer and then drove home.



 As soon as I got home I got straight to work on the truck. I started by cleaning it, I cleaned the interior first and it ended up spotless. Then I cleaned the outside and it turned out pretty good. I took every seat out besides from the driver seat out of the truck and sat it down next to the wall. I then took all the carpet out of the truck and started planning. Knowing I had 1,500 Dollars left to spend I went out to the store I had a list in my mind, I got to the shop and went and bought a camp stretcher and some wood. All up I spent 300 dollars. I drove to another shop and brought a mini fridge and a power supply. I spent another 200 on them. I went back to my house and started to lay everything out. I put the camp Stretcher next to the driver seat so I had more room in the back. I used the wood to build a bench behind the driver seat and I put the mini fridge on it. I called that a day and went to bed, I woke up the next morning and Hoped in my truck and went straight to the 4wd Shop and brought set of 4wd wheels and tyres on sale for 500 bucks, I also got A front bumper a winch and a light bar, That was the last of my money. I had them install it for me, It took them around an hour. As soon as they finished I paid and went out to my local Off-road Trail. I took it around the track 2 times and it ran pretty good. It was 12 oclock so I went to the closest Burger King and got 2 Cheeseburgers and a frozen Coke. I went home and called my mate. He said “I’ve Finished my truck. I told him “Yea I have when we are going” We talked for a little bit after that and had agreed on meeting up the next morning but he also told me not to bring any sort of food or gear. I went to sleep and woke up the next morning. I got in my truck and drove to the warehouse, I got there after him. My mate said “Okay you have a 300 dollar budget to get everything” I took the 300 dollars and went straight in, I grabbed a trolley and I already had a plan. My plan was to spend 100 dollars on food and water. And rest for sleeping bag and other things

 1 hour later

 I walked out of the store I had spent all 300 dollars, We set our trucks up and set out, We got to our first spot, We were out at a river bed. We pulled into a little track, He stopped and said to me “Get ready it gets hard from here” I put my truck in low gear, The first obstacle was a mud pit My friend had told me it was deep. I was ready, I went into it slow and then went full throttle, I made it though and so did my mate. We did a lot of 4 Wheel driving, Night started to fall so we stopped to set up for the night, I grabbed a hand saw I had brought from the shop and went out to find some wood, I found some wood and took it back to the site. My mate grabbed some dry leaves and paper, We started a fire, It was going for a bit but then it started to go down, We decided we would go to sleep now. We woke up the next morning ready to go, We got in our trucks and set off. The first obstacle was a cliff ride where the track was right next to a cliff, I was planning to go slow, We got half way round and my throttle got stuck. My truck went straight off the cliff, I think I got knocked out…. When I woke up all I could see was metal. I started to feel pain in my leg I could hear someone yelling with a helicopter in the background, I blacked out but when I woke up I was in the hospital from that day on Life was different.

Jakes life

There once was a man Named Jake, Now Jake lived in Christchurch, New Zealand. Now what Jake did as a Job is he Built cars for people. He owned his own shop called Redline Custom cars. Today Jake was working on a 1999 Nissan Skyline R 32, This car was getting turned into a drift car, Jake had his good mate Jack helping him, Jack Had a criminal history for Robbery, He was recently let out of Jail after a 5 year sentence. But Jake didn't like the criminal Side of Jack. But later that day Jack went up to Jake and Asked “Bro, Want to help me on a robbery, You can be the getaway driver.” Jake said “I know this is not right but what is in it for me?.” Jack said “ You will get at least 5 million dollars if we can get away.” Jake agreed and two days later they were ready. They were ready. Jack had another couple of people to help him. Jake had brought his fully built Chevy Van, He had engine swapped a V8 with a Massive supercharger, The van was making at least 1500 hp. They all were geared up and had their plan. Jake drove them to the bank and he waited round back, Jack had robbed this bank before so he knows every way out. Jake Waited for about half an hour and he could hear lots of Sirens. He saw the team walk out of the back door and run to the van and Jake drove off as fast as the van would go. He was slowed down by the cops and the cops didn't know a thing, They could see the cops starting to Move into the building. They made it back to their base. They counted the money and they had stolen over 15 million dollars. They Gave Jake his 5 million and the rest was split between the rest of the team, Jake spent 1.6 million dollars to get a new shop. He brought the fanciest he could, He paid some one 400,000 dollars to do some art on the wall, He got graffiti on the wall and Jake was really proud, He called his new shop Los santos customs.



 A couple weeks later he had a knock at the door. He opened the door and it was a Cop. Jake asked “Hello? Can I help you?.” The officer said “Yes you can I need to search your shop because we have a warrant for one of your workers' ' Jake let them search the shop because all his workers weren't at work today. Jake walked outside, hopped in his car and drove off because he didn't want to get caught. He drove to his brand new 2 million dollar house and hid the van on the beach side by his house. He didn't want the cops to turn up to his house and see the van. A day later he went back to his shop. There was a note that read “ Hi Jake, this is officer Mark from the Christchurch police station. I don't know where you went but everything is okay, We found nothing in your shop.” Jake was so happy. That day he hosted a car meet at his new shop to support it and tell people it is open. About 87 cars turned up and he was surprised this sort of outcome came out, They had a car contest and Jake's Favourite car there won 500 bucks, 3 hours went past and he had found a car he liked. It was a Nissan Silvia S 13. It was simple but nice and clean.They guy who owned it was one of the first customers at Jake's old shop. The guy got given the 500 dollars, After that is when all the cars started leaving. But there was something terrible that happened.


 All Jake could hear was horns and gunshots, He looked out the driveway and there were cars on cars stopped in the middle of the road. He walked out there and before he knew it he had been shot. He could hear people shouting, He started to pass out and he woke up 2 days later in a hospital bed. His wife was sitting next to him, Jake asked “What Happened?.” His wife said “ Someone went on a shooting spree and killed 15 people and 20 others are in hospital” Jake said “Where is the killer now?” His wife said “ He got away” Jake waited a month before he was ok to be let out. As soon as Jake got let out he went to his workshop. He checked everything in the store was alright but he noticed that one thing was gone… It was his car. He got his wife to drive him home and he got his team back together. They got in the van and went out to find the guy. They searched for at least 4 hours but there was no luck. They did one last check around town and Jake spotted something out of the side of his eye. He did a sharp turn and raced to it. It was his car, He called the cops and the cops got there in 5 minutes with the swat team. They busted open the door and got their guy. Jake had to wait to get his car back. He waited at least 2 weeks and they told him that he would get it back next year when they had done all the tests. Jake wasn't happy about this. He wanted his car back now. But he had no choice. He went back to his shop and started searching for some cars to buy. But he was surprised. He could see a lot of the cars from the car meet for sale. They were all being sold by the same person, He messaged the person and he went to go look at the cars, He got to the house and the guy selling the cars wasn't even at the car meet, Jake was kind of scared, The guy went down stairs while Jake was up stairs. Jake went for a little look around and found an AK 47, He ran out the door, stole all the keys and went back to his shop. He called the cops and told him the person that they have hasn't done anything wrong he just brought the car from that guy, The cops got in a shot out with the shooter and the shooter died.



They later found out his name is Luke. Luke had been wanted for over 2 years after robbing banks for more than 20 million a bank. Luke didn't make it out alive. Jake was okay and all the people got their cars back, For the next 2 years Jake was living good and making lots of sales on cars.

 But one Wednesday morning Jake saw a car pull up, It wasn't a car he had ever seen before. The guy got out of his car and he had what looked like a gas mask on and a pistol in his hand, Jake ran up stairs and hid in his office. Jake could see the guy walking around the shop pointing the gun at anything he could see, Jake grabbed an AK 47 from under his desk. He loaded it and got ready, He opened his office door and yelled “I HAVE A GUN AND I WILL USE IT” The other guy got a fright and jumped then replied with “I am here for you, you put me in jail for no reason” Jake was frightened that the guy was going to shot him. So he pointed the gun at the guys head and said “ Drop the gun NOW” The guy dropped it and then ran outside and hopped in his car and drove as fast as he could away. The first thing Jake did was he hopped in his Lamborghini Aventador and called the cops. The cops said “Stay where you are we will send some officers out to you” Jake didn't want to wait so he Drove off. He could see the car stopped in an alley. The guy pulled up in front of Jake and said “I will end you” And before Jake could even say “Please” He got shot and died. The end
