A/N: I know it's been like forever since I updated, but I was on a holiday, so that's why. I promised to put the whole how-Kyra-knows-Leon-thing in it, but the chapter was getting pretty long so I didn't. But I'm working on the next chapter and it's definitely in that one. I won't promise that the chapter will be up one of these days, but it will be up when I got time to post it. I'm not really sorry 'bout that, cause it's just that there's a lot going on now and I don't got much time to write and post. Anyways, now that that's that, let's go on with the story…

Chapter 8
"Damn sugar, it sure is hot like hell down here. I mean, I'm losing sweat in oceans a time" I got out of Carlos' car, pulling my pants up.
"Angel, we in Cali, remember? It's suppose to be all hot and sweaty."
"This ain't all hot and sweaty, okay. This place is hot like hells fire."
"Girl, you right." Letty stood beside me.
"I know. Look at that water, it's like gravity."
"Race ya to it for an ice-cream."
"Make it a pear flavoured one and I'm in."
"Cool and a pear flavoured it is." Letty laughed at my choice.
"So winner gets an ice-cream, but you've gotta be only in your bikini.
"Yeah, fo' sho'. So, I'll count?"
"Go ahead."
"Okay, three, two, one, GO!" We started off to the water, striping off to our bikinis. We heard some yells from guys that saw us running. In the mean time the whole DT team was laughing at us, walking up the beach with towels and beer. Letty was the first to reach the water, but she had to sit down and pull off her shoes cause she was wearing her boots. So I quickly ran into the water and won our race.
"Ha, I won pussy!"
"Yeah you did, but just cause I had my boots on! And I'm not pussy, pussy."
"Sure, whatever you want pussy. I'm still getting an ice-cream." I stuck my tongue out.
"Oh, now you're at it." Letty came at me, looking ready to do something to me. I always know when I gotta go and this is a good time to go. I ran out of the water towards the rest of the team. Carlos was standing, looking at me and Letty ran after each other. I jumped behind him and tried to hide from Letty.
"Please protect me! She's got something in her head and I'm not too excited to find out what it is."
"Hahaha, you want me to protect you from Letty? You don't know how she is! She is a beast when she wants something. And I ain't gonna stand in her way."
"What do you mean, you ain't gonna stand in her way?" I cocked an eyebrow and looked up to my oh-so-much bigger brother.
"He means this." Letty jumped up right in front of me and floored me down in the sand. When I was down she started to tickle me.
"Oh, not fair! So not fair!" I said through my laughter.
"You give?"
"Hell naw!"
"Okay." Letty went on with tickling me until I surrendered.
"I give! I give!"
"Good, now lets go and get your ice-cream, you big baby." We got up and started to walk towards the little bar on the beach.
"Maybe you don't wanna tell me, but I just need to ask."
"Shoot." I looked at her.
"Why is it that you haven't spoken to your mother for 4 years?"
"I know that I have to tell someone, especially Carlos cause he's like my brother and all, but I'm not sure when's the right time to tell. I really don't. I mean, it's like if I tell someone I will relive everything that my mom put me through. All the hurt and the pain will come up again. And most of all, al the tears that I've shed over it. It was worthless and stupid and I'm not looking out to do it again. I did it once and I made a promise to myself that it would stay at that one time." I sighed.
"I know how it is to have a parent that suck." I looked up at Letty with questioning look. "My father was an alcoholic, and when he was drunk and that was like always, he would beat both me and my mom up. It's a thing that I rather not speak about, but it really helped me to tell Mia what happened cause that way I wouldn't have to keep it to myself if I had something that involved it. I know that it sounds all pussy and shit but a piece of the burden that you carry is taken away." She sighed with a soft smile.
"Does Dom know?" I had to know.
"No, cause it will kill him. First he will blame himself for not seeing it and when that's over he will look for my dad to kill him with his bare hands. And that will literally kill him, cause my dad is like a real criminal and his men will kill Dom before his breath even touched his skin. I know Dom well enough to say that he's quite the man to pull the job."
"Damn. And I thought I had a rough time." I said soft but it made sense what she said about the burden thing. "Look, I think it's really nice that you want to help me out with the whole thing with my mother, it really is. It's just… I know you but not really know you, you know. Okay, that sounded weird." I shook my head. "But you know, I'm not ready to tell all those things to my brother, the person that I've known all my life. And then it's hard to tell those things to somebody who I've only known for four days. Believe me, I want to tell it all. I just don't trust people really quick in that kinda way. It's not that I don't like you, it's that life made me this way. I trusted people once and that went wrong, so lately I've been more careful to trust anybody."
"Okay, I understand. I just want you to know that if you ever need to speak about something, anything it doesn't matter what it is. Just know that I'm here to talk to cause I know life's a bitch." Letty smiled and placed an arm around my shoulder. "Okay and now that the sentimental shit's over lets go get us an ice-cream." We laughed and got the ice-cream we both deserved.
We walked back to the team, who were now in and outta the water. It's really funny to see girls checking out the guys. They get this whole stunned look on their faces and try to look all cute and sexy. Then they'll see me, Mia and Letty have fun with them and suddenly those fake faces turn into angry glares at us for making the guys look at us rather then picking up on them.
We stayed at the beach till we all got hungry and went back home where Mia went to cook us dinner. That girl's a real good cook! I mean, dinner was delicious. After that Carlos and I watched 'The Italian Job' with them and went home after it, tired as hell.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The next two weeks went fast. Carlos forgot the whole deal with mom, well, at least he didn't ask for it anymore. The garage was full booked for at least 2 more weeks and we worked a lot. Most of the time me and Letty worked together and that's probably one of the reasons that me and here are so close. We did like almost everything together. I no longer drove with Carlos to races, I had my fixed place next to her. If she needed to cool of, I'd be the first person to come to and vice versa. Every morning we would go for a run. At first we asked Mia to come with us, but after a couple of days Mia stopped, saying that it wasn't her thing to run all those long miles. Too bad, cause it was really fun. During those hour runs we would talk about anything that was on our minds. Guys, cars, skanks, the whole fucked up world. Pretty much about everything yeah. Now, she makes us one hell of a breakfast when we come back. The three of us do a lot of stuff together, though. Like today, we're having an old fashion sleepover at my place.
Around 4 the girls came to my place and we started to get everything ready. We placed an extra mattress in my room and then got some movies to watch, of course with Ben & Jerry's Ice-cream (couldn't live without it). Then we went to the Mc D's for our junk food dinner. Yeah, I know you'll be like 'Junk food dinner? With Mia?' Well, that's how me and Letty thought too.
"Mia, I still can't believe you actually approved of eating junk tonight." I said looking to Mia, who was sitting next to Letty.
"Yeah girl, you sure we don't need to call a doctor or something?" Letty joked and Mia punished her by punching her in the arm.
"The Mc D's can have some healthy stuff. It's not only fat burgers, you know? And besides, who says that I don't like junk food? It's just that if I wouldn't watch it, you guys would eat nothing else."
"That's so not true!" I faked a shocked face. "I can cook, like hell I can. It's just that with you around I don't have to. But if you need me to cook I'll do it with ease. And just so you know, we're getting fat burgers, no way that I'll let you buy some of that freaky rabbit-food green stuff!"
"Nuhhu, no way! If we're getting Mc D's then we're doing good. No healthy shit tonight, tomorrow you can do your thing again but tonight it's fat burgers."
"Good afternoon, can I help you?"
"Yeah, we want 3 Big Mac menus with barbeque sauce and big cola's, 3 McFlurry Crunch and…" Letty looked to me and Mia.
"And 3 boxes of chocolate-chip-cookies." I said.
"Yeah and 6 donuts." Mia said. Both me and Letty looked at her with a confused look. "What? I like donuts." She stated as we laughed.
"So you want 3 Big Mac menus with barbeque sauce and big cola's, 3 McFlurry Crunch, 3 boxes of chocolate-chip-cookies and 6 donuts. Do you want anything else or was that it?" The guy at the other side said and I could here that there was a grin on his face.
"Naw dawg, I think that we got everything." Letty said.
"Okay, that's $ 43,85. You can drive to the first window."
"Hahaha, that guy is thinking that we're fat kids while we're 3 skinny girls!" Mia laughed.
When we arrived back at my house we watched a movie. It started out really normal. We laid on the ground watching the movie while eating our Mc D's. And then Mia and I came up with the idea of throwing some ice-cream on Letty. She freaked out and ran after us, while me and Mia ran outta the house.
"Oh I'll get you! Throwing ice-cream on me." Letty ran after us while she got two spray cans of whipped cream.
"Hahaha, well girl then you first gotta catch us."
"Oh Angel Eyes, don't worry about that. I'll be right with you!" Letty came after me. But because she was paying attention to me, she didn't see that Mia ran inside and back out with a bottle of diet coke. She shook it and then started spraying both me and Letty with it.
"Oh girl, that was bad. And you know what we do to bad girls? We punish them." Letty gave me one of her spray cans and we attacked Mia. While we were having fun Vince and Leon came outta the house, wondering what the hell we were doing, screaming and yelling so loud.
"Please tell me that they ain't busy with a food fight." Leon laughed, shaking his head.
"Oh yeah dawg, that is whipped cream and coke." Vince said with a smile on his face.
"What do you say about us giving them a cold shower, huh? I think that they really need that. You know, washing all the sticky stuff of."
"Oh brother, I'm feeling you on this one. You wash and I'll turn on the water." They walked up to the house and quickly got the garden hose and started spraying us.
"You nasty little…" I jumped up and ran after Leon while both Mia and Letty went after Vince. Lucky for me, Leon couldn't run from laughing so I jumped on his back and started spraying him all over.
"You crazy? Spraying me all over with that nasty stuff! No way are you doing that without me getting you back." Leon pulled me over his shoulder and laid me down on the ground. Then he got the can and sprayed me all over too. "So now we fit together."
"You're so unfair! You started it so now I gotta do something back and then we even."
"Well gimme a kiss then."
"Please explain how it's even when I'm the one who's giving the kiss?"
"Think about it, you get to kiss a gorgeous prince. How can that not be nice for you?" Leon tried to keep his face serious but his eyes kept sparkling.
"Hahaha, you sure you're not on drugs cause brother you funny. I think that you'll be the one that's gonna be rewarded if I kiss you. Cause I mean everybody knows that I'm way to gorgeous for you."
"Hahaha and you're asking me if I'm on drugs? But baby girl, if you want me to kiss you it's all fine with me."
"You'll say everything to achieve your goal, huh?"
"What goal?" I just looked up at him, not saying a word. "Oh, you mean this." He bend down and gave me a soft kiss on the lips.
"Perhaps, you tell me. It's your goal."
"Then I gotta ask you what you doin' tomorrow night at dinnertime. So, what are your plans tomorrow night at dinnertime?"
"Eh, I guess not much. Why?"
"I like to take you out for dinner, if that's okay with you."
"Hahaha, smooth sugar, real smooth. So what ya had in mind?" I shook my head with a smile.
"What about you and me are going out for dinner and than we hit the club."
"Sounds good for my ears. So what kinda dinner, cause if we hit the club I wanna walk all me and not scary fancy shit."
"Naw, we eating at this small Mexican restaurant. It ain't fancy but it's nice, but if you wanna go home first to change it's all fine with me."
"Aight, we do that. First we go out for dinner then we head back home and then we go dancing."
"So I pick you up at 6?"
"It all fine with me, sugar."
"Cool, so I see you at six tomorrow night. But for now," He gave me another kiss. "Good night."
"Damn."
"What? What I do?"
"You make it sound like it's the only thing why you came out here and now that you got what you want you, you're gone just like that."
"Hahaha, sorry but the whole slumber party-thing, it ain't my style."
"Aw, too bad. I think that pink's your colour. Mia has this really cute pink dress that would fit you just perfect." After I said that I tried to run away quickly but Leon got me before I even got on my feet again.
"You better take that back, baby girl."
"Or what, sugar?"
"Or you'll see what I'ma do to you tomorrow." Leon got up and pulled me up too.
"Bye, baby girl."
"Bubaai, sugar."
Leon smiled and walked away. I turned around and walked back into the house. Vince, Mia and Letty were sitting in front of the TV, watching the movie and Vince stuffing his mouth full with chips.
"You guys finally done out there?" Vince said with his mouth full.
"Did your mommy ever teach you to talk when your mouth is empty?"
"No. But then again, my mommy didn't teach me anything." Vince grinned, while he looked at me. I stuck my out to him.
"Smartass."
When the movie ended, Vince left. Just when I was about to ask what we were doing, both Mia and Letty were all over me asking what the hell happened between me and Leon.
"What was Leon doing?"
"You like him?"
"Does he like you?"
"Yo, chill out will ya. Nothin' serious happened. He asked me out that all." I looked at them.
"He what!"
"He asked me out. He's taking me to some Mexican restaurant tomorrow and after that we're clubbing."
"Damn, I never thought that there was going to be a day that Leon would ask a girl out. I mean, it's so not Leon." Letty said, with a confused smile on her face.
"Yeah, he's breaking his own law." Mia finished it.
"His own law?"
"Yeah, Leon's Law: Anything that can go wrong in a relationship will go wrong in a relationship, so don't bother to start one."
"And who said that this is going to be a relationship?" I shook my head while I started to clean some stuff up.
"He's asking you out, girl. What do ya think? That he's asking you out and then that's it? Leon's a guy skank, okay. If he can stick his dick in a chick…" Letty looked at Mia.
"The chick is lickin it before he's stickin it and that's just him." They said it together, bursting out in laughter.
"Hahaha, sugar do ya think I've been blind for the last 3 weeks? Both chicks and dawgs are crawling at his feet. He, Carlos, Dom, V and Jesse are gods amongst people around this place."
"And they love it. But you gotta admit that as a girl you get a lot of guys thrown at your feet too!"
"True that, but if you got a brother who's like a pit-bull… let's just say that I've seen a lot of grown man shit their pants lately, hahaha."
"Girl, stop complaining cause I know where you're from. I've got Dom and he's the same thing." Mia said shaking her head.
"What was it that he said to this guy again? Ehm, don't try because if you break her heart I break your neck, something like that."
"He got that from pops. That's what he said to Dom when he started dating me." Letty said and she said down on the couch. "And ever since both Dom and Carlos have been saying that to every boy that Mia went out with."
"Let's end this conversation in bed cause I'm really tired. It's like 2 in the morning and we gotta work tomorrow." Mia said, stretching out. We all got up and walked upstairs, to my bedroom. There wasn't much of a talking when we laid down. Mia was right, she was tired but me and Letty too. It was like the moment that my head hit the pillow I was out.
The next morning we had the most wonderful way to get up, and I do mean that sarcastically. My dearest brother came storming into my room and opened the curtains. He knows that I can't sleep with light so I woke up immediately. He pulled our blankets off and put one of his old Backstreet Boys-CD's in my stereo.
"I know you hate to wake me, but that's doesn't mean you gotta be cruel and unusual!" I said while getting outta bed.
"But I love to be cruel and unusual." Carlos grinned.
"Haha, very funny. Now get out so that we can change."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going but hurry up. I just need to talk to you later, aight?"
"Kay, now get out!" I pushed him out and closed the door after him.
"Is he always like that?" Letty yawned, stretching herself.
"No, normally he just makes breakfast and sets my door wide open so that I wake up from hunger."
"Damn, that must be a really nice way to get up."
"Definitely, but some days he ain't feeling like making breakfast and then he pulls of something likes this."
"Aww, you poor girl." Mia shook her head, rolling her eyes.
"You can say that again. But now I gotta take a shower and have a very deep-going conversation with my brother."
"Hahaha, you go do that and we'll take it all slow. You know get some more sleep." Letty fell down on my bed again and closed her eyes.
"Uhhu, whatever you want. But it ain't my fault if Dom or C comes up to pull you out." I walked to the bathroom and closed the door. Carlos sounded pretty serious when he said that he wanted to talk to me, but we'll see what it is about. I quickly took my shower and get ready for a day of working on cars. When I was ready I walked down the stairs where I found Carlos and Dom playing PS2, as always.
"What are the two of you doing down here? I thought that we had to hurry and here you two are playing PS2. It's just a stupid suggestion, but what about that you get your asses up from the floor and get them moving down to DT?"
"And risk that the 3 of you don't show up? Oh, I'll wait till you're ready, if you don't mind." Dom said, looking up to me with these evil eyes.
"Sugar, I thought that by now you'd know me better than that. There is no way that I'm missin a day of laying under a car all sweating, in this godforsaken hot-like-hell city, being a greasemonkey." I walked over to the kitchen, grabbing some juice and a banana for breakfast.
"Okay, then the two of them upstairs. Trust me, they'll do whatever it takes to lay in the sun and do nothin all day."
"Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, C could you drive me to DT then cause I don't think they'll be done any time soon."
"Aight, Dom lock the house when you leave, okay?"
"Yeah, cool." Carlos stood up and we walked down to his car.
"Kay, spit it. What was the thing you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Leon came to me last night. He said that he asked you out, but that he wanted to know if I was cool with it."
"Well, what you say?"
"I said that I was cool with it, but that is more about the fact that I know the guy you're going out with and that I don't have to look far from the neck I've gotta break if he hurts you, then the fact that he is 9 years older then you and he's one of my friends."
"Hmm, I can get your point at some level, but you gotta admit that he really wants it cause why else does he ask you for permission. I mean, he respects you and your decision if you didn't like it that he went out with me. That would only make it good, right?"
"Yeah it does, but still. The boy is 9 years older then you and I really don't want to see you hurt over some guy who never had a steady girlfriend is his life and has a different girl every weekend."
"Look I know that he's a guy skank, just like must of you guys. But one, who said that I'm about to become his girlfriend, two age ain't nothin but a number and three, admit it you don't wanna hurt one of your friends." I smiled at him. Ha, bust you brother.
"Just like most of us guys? What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothin, and FYI I didn't say any names, you just assumed it's about you."
"Yeah, but I saw you watching. Anyway, one Leon never dates a girl so he musta really like you, two age ain't nothin but a number mi asno cause for me it counts and three, I admit it. I like Leon and I don't wanna see him dead."
"Okay, but I can go tonight, right? Cause now, I'm not totally sure if you agree." I looked up to Carlos, who was speeding through the traffic.
"You can go, but I want you to tell me if something happened that you didn't want to happen cause I swear to God that boy is so skinny it would take me just a few seconds to kill him. And not even both Dom and Vince would be able to stop me then."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you. But nothing bad will happen." We arrived at DT and I jumped outta the car. When I walked into the garage, I caught Leon eyeing me up. I walked over to him and leaned in against the car he was working on.
"So, I thought you were just smooth but you've past that. Now you're a special boy who's really smooth."
"And what do you mean with that?" He stood before me with his hands placed on the car so that I couldn't walk away.
"Asking C if you can take me out. You're getting your way in faster then I thought you would."
"I am? Well, I think that I'll do a lot more stuff then that if I'm earning extra points with that."
"You go do that and I'll go change into my overalls." I planted a kiss on the corner of his mouth and ducked under his arms to walk away.
"Cruel."
"I know." I stuck my tongue out to him and walked into the back to change. Oh boy, Leon was DAMN fine but there was still this thing that I had in the back of my head. The thing that I still think that I know Leon from something, but from what, that's the question. Reminder for myself, ask him tonight if we could've met before this.
"Kyra!" Carlos yelled from the garage.
"What?"
"Come here for a sec." I sighed and walked back into the garage, where Carlos was talking with some guy.
"What up?"
"This guy is looking for someone to buy his car. It's a total wreck cause it hit a wall at 180 but it's fixable."
"What kinda car?" I was curious about the fact that maybe I was getting my own car, finally. And it wouldn't matter how long it would take me to get it ready then.
"Skyline GT-R V-SPEC." The guy said looking at me. Probably thinking what a girl like me was doing in a place like this.
"A-a what!"
"Skyline GT-R V-SPEC.."
"No way! How can you sell a Skyline and especially a GT-R V-SPEC? Sugar, do you know how fast that car can go if you put the right stuff in it? Okay, it will probably take you like 40G to get it ready cause you gotta ship most o' the parts, but when it's ready it will be the most amazing car on the road." I looked to him thinking this guy must be really crazy.
"Yeah, well it sounds you got a pretty good idea what you would do with it and I would too, but I don't have the time and the money to fix it."
"Why not? If you don't mind telling me. I mean, you got a Skyline and they ain't cheap cars, you know."
"Kyra, you too nosy." Carlos said looking at me with this look in his eyes like he was trying to tell me to shut up. I gave him the same look, only I cocked my eyebrow with it. He shook his head and looked away.
"Naw, I don't mind, it's no big deal. My girlfriend's pregnant and we need the money for other stuff. The car ain't important if I gotta choose between my girl and the car so…"
"No big deal, he says. But, can I see it?"
"Yeah, it's outside." I walked outside and looked at the car, well at the thing that usta been a car. The crash musta been really hard. The engine was pushed back up to the backseat and the car seemed hoodless.
"Just a question, but who was driving the car when all this" I pointed at the car. "happened?"
"My brother, but don't worry he's fine. Shocked, but fine."
"Musta been really lucky, by the look of this. How much do you want for it?"
"Well, although it's a wreck it's still a Skyline so I was thinking about 15G."
I looked at the guy and walked over to the car. First I walked around the car, looking at how bad it looked from the outside, which was repairable. Then I popped my head in the car and started to inspect the inside and the engine. The engine looked like hell, but with the proper tools and a little bit of luck I could repair it too. But still 15G was a bit much. I walked back to the guy who was waiting with Carlos and gave the car another look.
"I was more thinking of 10G." I looked at him, placing my hands on my waist.
"How about 14G?"
"Make it 11 and I'll take it."
"12.5, minimal."
"And 12.5 it is." I smiled at the guy. "If you give me just a sec then I'll change and we'll go to the bank and get you your money." He nodded and I ran in with a big smile on my face. While I was busy putting on my shoes, Carlos cam in and closed the door.
"How are you gonna pay that guy?" His voice was calm in a way I never heard before. Slowly I looked up at him, trying to find out if he was angry or scared or anything at all. It wasn't really working.
"With the money I got on my bank account."
"Okay and you sure you got that money. You don't need me to pay it for you?" Oh, he was being his overprotective-brotherly-self again, something that, strangely enough, happened a lot lately.
"Yeah I'm sure. You're not becoming soft are you, with all this protective stuff?"
"What? I'm just checking, you know.' He said a bit uncomfortable.
"I know, big brother. See you in a bit." I walked over to him, reached up to give him an Eskimo kiss and walked out so that I could pay my car. Almost an hour and a half later I returned, now the happy owner of a wrecked, but soon to be beautiful, Skyline. The bank had been overfull with people trying to do whatever they were going to do in the bank.
"Hey guys." I walked in and saw that Dom and Letty were there too, finally.
"Hey. So how did it go?" Carlos said looking up from the Acura he was working on.
"The fucking place was packed with people, kids screaming and running around and employees who didn't really seem to care when to close down. My feet hurt and my stomach is mad at me because there was this guy standing in front of us who probably never heard of water and soap or at least deodorant. But if you forget all that, it went good. The car's officially mine."
"Good."
"What car?" Letty was all ears.
"The trash in front of the garage. This guy crashed it and couldn't fix it so he was looking for someone to sell it to. It's suppose to be a Skyline GT-R V-SPEC, and I know it doesn't seem like one, but when I'm done with it it'll be more then that."
"You hope."
"No, I know."
"Yeah right, whatever you want girl but that car is so fucked up it'll take you at least 4 weeks to repair it and then you gotta put the interior in it and paint it so if you're lucky it's on the road in 7 weeks." Letty looked at me."
"Sugar, do I smell a challenge?"
"Baby, I bet that you got that ready in 7 weeks; 4 weeks to repair and 3 for the interior and painting."
"Sugar, I bet that I got that car done in 4 weeks, painted and interior done too."
"Dream on. And if you ain't got it ready by then you'll be washing my car for a month."
"You got it. And if you lose, witch you will, you'll be cleaning C and my room for a month and trust me that is one nasty job."
"Deal, you better start working on that piece of junk cause I'd hate to see your pretty face working her ass off over my car."
"I hope you know how to clean cause I want to see my face on the floor." I walked out of the garage and started on the car. It wasn't that much so when Vince came walking out to tell me that we were closing down, it probably just needed one more day work to get it ready for body shop. I needed to gut the engine bay and remove the suspension in the front totally tomorrow and then send it over to the body shop so that they could pull the frame, fix the body panels and send it back to me so that I could fix the rest. I know it sounds crazy, but I can do it. I did it before, hell I did it in 2 weeks but I was in a hurry and I didn't have to worry about the paintjob.
"Wow girl, you're going fast." Vince told me, looking over at the car.
"Well, it ain't that hard and it helps if you know what you're doing. I just need tomorrow to make it ready for the body shop, then I'll let my brother or Dom do their magic so that I'll get it back in a couple of days and then I have to place the engine back in and the interior. And when all that is done I just need to paint it and it's done. So if you count a bit roughly it will take me probably 2.5-3 weeks."
"But you just told Letty you'd do it in 4."
