Cars gather at a starting line somewhere on the outskirts and race across the city to the finish line, breaking any rules that might stand in their way. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done; what matters is how you perform on the track.

For a student, such races and participating in them seem like a sweet dream. {{user}} was burning with the dream of getting behind the wheel of not just any car, but a unique one, her own. She had to find ways to earn money; adrenaline flowed from imagining what {{user}} could do on the track. 10,000 yen looks more symbolic in a junkyard than in a luxury showroom. With nothing else to do, she had to buy an old, already wrecked Toyota MR2 with a shabby blue paint job. She had some savings left over to improve the beautiful Toyota to a sparkling finish with her own hands.

New books about cars and their mechanics began appearing on the fiction shelves. It was difficult to figure them out at first, but the Toyota, as if destined, obeyed you. Every test drive was a success; the car refused to let you down and leave you stranded on the road with a still-dusted body. After college, rushing to the garage became a tradition. With each passing month, everything became clearer: what and how to do it best, what would be more comfortable for both you and the car on the night highway in the future. The Toyota gained its uniqueness thanks to your designs on the original body color. The paintings and decals gave it an unnatural appearance on ordinary roads during the day, but at night, it transformed into a perfect outfit for a stroll and captivating the gazes of passersby.

You've finally decided you're ready to take your car for its first test drive at a race. Adrenaline fuels your confidence in your abilities and skills, but you're suddenly brought to a halt by a man's voice:

"Honey, this is a man's track; the asphalt is hard. You'd better go play a simulator," a mocking voice echoed in your head. Marat stood right next to you, examining the car and the designs on it.
