The Race
Everything was peaceful in Goodside, goodcars going about their daily business, chatting, and just driving around and looking at the sights. Bop was sitting in front of Paint Heaven talking to Moon and Gold, the manager of Paint Heaven, was busy trying to sell a new paint brush to Caddy, a large Cadillac.
Suddenly a roaring sound, like several engines revving, was heard on the edge of Badside. Nobody paid much attention, as badcars where constantly making loud noises, but then the sound began to grow louder. A few more cars looked around, but nobody was paying much attention - until 4 cars skidded around the corner, kicking up a cloud of dust and leaving skid marks on the pavement. The cars where Yeyron, a fast black and red race car from Badside, Musty, a hopped up Ford Mustang with 2 huge carburetors sticking up above his hood, Arrow, a slightly smaller car who was a bit pointier but very similar to Yeyron, and Spider, a car who had 2 large jet engines in back and was one of the chief cars in Sinder's Band. They appeared to be having a race and where all in the process of trying to go even faster than they already where and to cause each other to crash.
As Musty skidded around the corner, running into the curb and tipping momentarily onto 2 wheels before thudding back onto all 4 and careening back into the middle of the street pandemonium broke out among the goodcars. Bop jammed himself into high gear, taking off into the street in a cloud of smoke smelling of burnt rubber. Moon just sat their and gawked, before a panicked Jinx collided with him and sent him crashing into the front window of Paint Heaven. Gold fell off his stool behind the desk in Paint Heaven and dented his left front door on the floor.
Yeyron took off down the middle of the street, dodging goodcars and completely ignoring the street rules. Spider lit off his jet engines and took off down the left side of the street like a bullet, only to collide with Wheels, the goodcar drag racer, and go shooting up him like a ramp. Spider shot into the air and crashed down again on top of Dumper, a dump truck. Musty drove up on the sidewalk and went zooming on up it until he sideswiped a fire hydrant, broke it off, and was hurled into the air by the high pressure stream of water. Arrow contented himself with following Yeyron, until Yeyron hit a pot-hole and went skidding through the cracked front window of Paint Heaven howling about his sprung suspension.
Gold was sitting on his stool again, inspecting the dent in his door and moaning about badcars and racing and no consideration when Yeyron came careening through the front window. Gold looked up from his mirror and shrieked as he saw a large badcar coming down the isle at top speed, knocking paint cans off the shelves and leaving tire tracks on the floor. He shrieked as Yeyron went skidding towards the counter, spinning his wheels and cursing. Yeyron managed to miss the counter but he hit the stool that Gold was sitting on, snapping all 4 legs clean off. Gold screamed as he fell nose first onto the glass counter, only to punch through it and find himself standing on his nose in the middle of his paint-brush display amid bits of broken glass. Yeyron went zooming off through the back room knocking things over as he went, and right out the back door, leaving a large hole in the middle of it where he had exited.
