To the Bunta-mobile!
I still can't believe I've churned out P400 on ID4 today! I had been vocal about getting the Impreza WRX to boost up my car lineup. And that monster doesn't come cheap: seven swipes of my card! But it was worth getting it. Good handling, stable on the corners, and the engine could very well ruin eardrums if it were the real thing. Some Initial-D fans would lovingly call it the Bunta-mobile, after the character that owns the Impreza in the series, a respected and crazy-ass racer.
Behold the Bunta-mobile!
Unfortunately, it didn't keep me from losing badly to DarkMagician's insane driving and her silver FD. I don't know if I was still trying to get the hang of it, or due to the mounting headache. But man! I was beaten on most of our battles together. I think I may have won one or two, we had a lot of races, and covered most of the courses, even the entry-level Akina Lake because I was just picking one at random in my frustration. I surely am not a good loser.
On the upside, I did finally beat the smug Shingo on the downhill with this baby (heh, eat blue paint, arrogant Night Kids smartass! XD) and Iketani on Akina. I battled with other racers, like Impact Blue and a couple of RedSuns. It was pretty embarrassing when I raced Ryousuke. I had no idea what the hell I was doing stuck on second gear on the starting dash. Ugh. I think it's one of his tactics, to reel me in with his charisma. Whatever it was, it worked, dammit. Why'd he have to be so delectable?? X/
I told DarkMagician that I might beg off playing for a little bit. I hope that holds true, because I might go and burn money again! T_________T P400 might not be a lot to some folks, but it is to someone who's never done this before. But I have to admit, it was a great stress-buster! If I would ever find my steps leading to the arcade again, I'll try to pace myself. Payday's about a week away. =)
