Underground Alliance

.Chapter Two.

Haha, finally back with another chapter! I initially planned to post this on Sept 30th, but got postpone with two family members hospitalized weeks back to back. Finally managed to add the finishing touches and excited to post this chapter.

This story is purely written with RE 2 (Remake) Leon in mind. Yes, my puppy dog boy is all the focus in this one.

Takes place in 1999, Racoon City is not in flames yet!

Yes, I'm terrible at uploading fast, but believe me when I will finish this with the other one!

Loosely based on the first Fast and the Furious movie with real life stories mixed in from my childhood.

I have not decided yet on the rating but expect: Car Sex, Betrayal, Penetrative Sex, Manipulation (sorta), Public Sex, Violence... And more to come!

Summary

After a series of recent hijackings of Umbrella equipment, Leon Kennedy is sent undercover in the street racing scene to find a notorious perpetrator named to be orchestrating these attacks. Leon struggles with his visage as a street racer while upholding his own morals as a police officer. As a young street racer, you aspire to reign and topple the influence of a major corporation that has its clutches on Raccoon City. Yet, plans are thwarted when an ambitious blonde tries to join the ranks of the most skilled racer.

Please enjoy and comment your thoughts~ Anisssa أَنِيْسَة

Midnight Pretender

All eyes observed in silent awe between the victor and the poor soul about to forfeit his vehicle. For spectators, the sight was nothing new regarding those who challenged the notorious El Jefe, the aftermath of the race providing a performance worth witnessing. When El Jefe crosses that finish line, the contender loses their shit along with their car. So here the people surround the duo under the brink of night to witness this cocky kid surrender a rare car.

As the crowd meddles around the two opposing vehicles, the weight of defeat anchors Leon’s feet beside the Skyline. The Supra’s car door widens, and two leather-heeled boots settle on the pavement. Beyond the glimpse of boots, Leon peers at the woman steadily sauntering around the R34. Each step of your heels echoes as you inspect the Skyline, leaving a streak upon the carbon fiber hood with your pointer finger. A pornographic moan emits from your mouth and you bite your bottom cherry-colored lip.

“Never thought I would ever see one of these in the flesh, only on the front cover page of those Ricer magazines…” Your voice interrupts the silence, flickering your eyes to his blue orbs once you are directly in front of the blonde. Despite the intimidating exterior you parade, Leon heeds your height as he peers down at you. From the tight-laced skirt and fur-lined jacket that hugged your figure, it was evident that you flaunted yourself to an elevated standard compared to the other women here.

While you stand before the blonde, Leon’s breath stifles as the adrenaline from the race continues to brew within his body. The night air was noticeably brisk, the breeze gently flaring your hair along with it. Never would Leon have suspected El Jefe to be a woman. But those thoughts are temporarily suppressed when he notices your head shake at the sight of him and your lips part to deliver several tsks. If he had not been in this peculiar situation, he would have found your demeanor exotic, not an individual scrutinized before a dubious jury.

“Every advantage was literally in your hands, yet… you still managed to lose this race. Can’t say I’m not disappointed though…” There was a distinct conviction in your voice, and he finally understood why the people were drawn to the enigmatic facade you presented. El Jefe was their source of light in the night, and they were moths entranced.

“ I almost had you,” Leon rebuttals immediately, but you can hear the quiver in his voice.

“Almost does not win a race. Do you understand these cars are not toys for boys like you?”

The question lingers, and everyone erupts in “Ooo” and “Dayummm” at the diss you delivered. It's apparent that Leon did not belong there, and you were the one to ensure he understood that notion. Such mockery provokes the blonde to grimace and shift where he stands, although Leon stays in place.

A grin forms on your lips, yet Leon knows better that the expression was by no means cordial. Almost like a predator stalking prey, your eyes bore into his cobalt blues and you lean your torso to his chest.

“What’s your name?”

The proximity evokes Leon to bend slightly back from your intrusive presence, the heat emitting from your body was somehow enticing in this chilly night. A pink hue blooms on his cheeks while heat consumes his entire face. Leon was stupefied, inhaling your leather and floral mixed scent that he staggered to speak a proper word. With several blinks and an agape mouth, he eventually regains his composure with firm lips.

“Leon… Leon Santoro.” The name leaves the tip of his tongue like a foreign taste as he unveils his identity before everyone.

Murmurs resonate across the crowd, and some women develop an interest in the newcomer despite his defeat. However, your eyebrows pique at the articulation of his name, repeating it in a soundless whisper.

“Hmm? Is that Italian or some shit?” You sneer, retreating your body away from the blonde to return your attention to the R34. “Well, Leon Santoro… you can tell your daddy that you just lost this car.” With a hand on the hood, a handprint manifests on the carbon fiber material as if you were marking territory on the car.

Leon’s head shook in opposition to your decree, bewildered at the incivility in your nature. “Wait a damn minute! I’m not handing over this car…” He protested, slamming his hand on the hood of the car beside yours. Several men instantly step closer to the duo in the scenario that Leon becomes physical with you.

Although, your raised hand halts their movement as chuckles escape your mouth. Even though Leon was taller, nothing was intimidating about the blond. “So cute… I didn’t know you could bark!”

Your hand retracts from the hood of the Skyline. For the time being, there is a need to build distance from Leon. “My dear friend, Julio, did warn you of the conditions of the race. You lost, this car compensates for my time. You don’t deserve this car with the way you manhandle it. Poor ass gear shifting, I would be surprised if you didn’t fuck up the transmission. Now surrender that pink slip…”

Patience was visibly waning with how your eyes narrowed and your lips pursed. Leon then notices your arm extend your palm out to him as if you outrightly expect him to hand you the title of the R34 right then and there. Every word spoken was accurate, but Leon was reluctant to admit his prior agreement to the terms. His teeth bit the inside of his cheek while he hesitantly removed his hand from the hood.

If this was the means to establish a foundation of trust with El Jefe, Leon needed to keep his cool in front of you. “Fine. You’re right, my apologies. I will hand over the title to you. Oh, but how will I get home from here?” Leon blurts out in amusement, obviously laced with a hint. This insolent asshole had the nerve to plaster a cheeky grin on his face.

To his question, you scoff shrugging your shoulders. “That’s something for you to figure out, pretty boy.”

Pretty boy. That was new among the other annoying nicknames he was bestowed.

Although a bystander attentive to the police scanner hears the female dispatcher distinctively speak, “Reported street racing East of Circular River along industrial factories…”

“Shit! Guys! Cops incoming!” On cue, sirens blared from the distance while red and white lights danced simultaneously on the factory buildings in their attempt to block the racers. The party was over, and everyone dispersed to their respective vehicles in mass panic. Roars of engines and tire screeches deafen over the police sirens as cars drive in all directions to evade arrest.

The chaotic scene amplifies with every passing second—a sea of modded cars chased by police vehicles. Even with the impending risk of arrest, your eyes glare at the blonde beside the Skyline. Due to the circumstances, only a bittersweet departure from the vehicle allowed the prospect of fleeing the scene. Sounds of sirens nudge your boots to circle Leon’s car to your Supra, feeling a tinge of panic until you open the driver’s door and secure yourself inside. When the car’s window slips fully down, you offer the blonde one last glare before the Supra veers off in haste.

Now alone amidst the mayhem, Leon retreats inside the Skyline and hastily turns the ignition key, restoring life to the machine. Leon watches in trepidation, witnessing how the Supra interweaves through police cars attempting to block it. Yet, before Leon could comprehend what he perceived, another car suddenly collided with the side of the Supra. Even amongst the overwhelming sounds, tire screeches and glass breaking reach his ears. The Supra skids to the side from the impact, eventually ceasing movements entirely. Despite the other car’s front being mangled, the person reverses and speeds off without regard to the condition of the person inside the Supra. The air hazes when smoke releases from the car.

A maelstrom of conflicting emotions brews within Leon, a testament when he notices your body slumped against the wheel. He feigned to vanish from the area to avoid blowing his cover or help you. His passion for valuing human life overrides any lingering conflicting thought, eliciting him to simply shift gears and drift near the Supra. You were his mission after all…

Once Leon bursts the driver’s door open, his eyes glance down at a puddle of leaking oil on the pavement from the Supra and the motionless body in the driver’s seat. The passenger side of the Supra was utterly caved in from the side. “Jefe…” He utters yet no answer is reciprocated from you. His hands reach inside the open window to unlock the driver’s door from inside before nearly ripping it open. Knocked out and unconscious, the blonde was relieved to glimpse breaths from your mouth.

“Holy fuck…” Leon's breath hitches at the sight of your forehead. Blood seeps from a wide gash, an open wound that he would assume required medical attention. Faint sirens became notable, prompting the Rookie to concentrate on the situation at hand. There was no time, Leon repositioned your limp body on the car seat. His hands grab at your supple flesh to carry you bridal style to the passenger seat of the Skyline. Leon internally thanked the physical training from when he was at the police academy, molding his strength to carry wanted criminals. Once placed on the seat, Leon secured your body with a snap of the seat belt. Fortunately for you both, Leon evades the police and speeds to a nearby park.

A groan emits from your lips, and your hand ghosts over the searing wound. The sudden noise prompts Leon to momentarily veer his concentration from the road to the woman in the passenger seat.

“Hey! Are you alright?”

Instead of an immediate response, another groan sounds from your lips. “Oh God, please shut up. Your voice is giving me a headache…”

“Damn, why are you so rude? I’m just wanting to help you,” Leon mutters, letting out a huff as he swerves the Nissan into the dark parking lot of the park.

Except for Leon’s car, the area was desolate and lacked light, a perfect location to murder someone. No soul in sight, maybe karma caught up and Leon was sent as your executioner. “Guess we’re here to finish me off? Huh?” You question him in assurance while your eyes examine the wooded area. Raccoon Park.

Although tempted to respond “yes” to your paranoid antics, Leon held his tongue. “No, you think I saved your ass to bring you here? It would have been easier to have left you for the cops…”

That fight in you dwindled, thoughts meddling that Leon spared you from the mercy of the police. As much as you desired to continue your banter with the blonde, the principal brought the prospect to mind. Nonetheless, your lips pursed while you maintained an averted gaze from those damn blue eyes.

“Thank you…” The words of gratitude were whispered under your breath, conceding to his endeavors.

Without warning, Leon’s fingers suddenly directs your chin to face him, his eyes drawn to inspect the gash on your forehead. “That’s a nasty wound… maybe I should drive you to the hospital. It’s swelling,” He relents, his blue orbs flicking to your eyes.

“No thanks,” You retorted, pushing his hand from your chin, and shifting away from him. “I’m starving…” You admit, patting the fabric on your stomach.

“Jefe… you need medical attention. You were just in a serious car wreck-” Leon proceeds to rant but is cut off by your pointer finger pressed on his lips.

“Shhh. Shut up, just drive to the nearest Waffle House… I’m fucking fine, fucking starving,” You attempt to quiet him, gesturing him to drive.

A huff emits from him, shifting the gear to drive out of the dark parking lot. “God, has anyone ever told you how demanding you are? You should get that checked out,” Leon briefly glances at you before returning his attention to the road.

Only a chuckle responds to his question, finding amusement in his question. “My whole life…”

After a while, the grand familiar yellow glow of the Waffle House comes into sight, and Leon parks the Skyline directly in front. Being the gentleman that Leon is, he hastes around the car to the passenger side to open the door for you.

“Dude, I'm injured, not fucking crippled!” You seethe, standing from the passenger seat, wincing from the pain with every minimal movement. To spare himself from another quarrel, Leon steps back to allow room for you to move, combing his hand through his dirty blonde locks. From the way your body stood stiff and the hiss from your mouth, he assumed the impact from the collision afflicted your body. All Leon could do was watch you limp to the restaurant in discomfort since you would protest his offer to help.

Once inside, Leon strolls behind you until he can accompany you to a booth and sits across. That stench of cigarettes penetrated his senses and wrinkled his nose, causing him to ponder your adamant selection in this restaurant. A waitress introduces herself, handing you and Leon a menu.

“I know what I want,” You utter to the waitress, tapping on the menu. The waitress nods, pulling out her notepad and pen in preparation to write your order.

“I want the All-Star breakfast. Scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, and hash browns smothered. Very smothered,” You inform the waitress with a polite smile, the only genuine smile Leon has noticed you dawn.

“Do you want anything on your waffle?” The waitress then asks, glancing at your face from her notepad.

In response, you nod with a cheeky smile, ”Chocolate chips, please.”

Just nearly an hour ago, Leon was confronted by the most intimidating woman in the racing scene, now eating a chocolate chip-covered waffle before him like a little girl. There with a forkful of eggs and piece of waffle in your mouth, and Leon slumps back against the cushioned backrest of the booth.

“How come you didn’t get anything?” You inquire, flickering your eyes from the food on your plate to the blond man across the table. “Eating by myself feels weird… And I would have paid for you,” You add, stuffing another forkful in your mouth.

Leon’s face burns with a pink hue at the offer, although he held a tinge of suspicion at your generosity. “Uh… It’s a bit too late for me to eat,” He mentions, glancing at the gash on your forehead. “How are you feeling with your- you know,” His hand gestures to his head concerning your wound.

The fork in your hand tosses a piece of egg on your plate as you contemplate the occurrence of events. “Honestly could be worse… but damn, do you know how many grands I put into that Supra? But that’s okay, the Nissan Skyline is the jack of all trades. Even with stock parts, she can even beat American muscle…” You relent, peering beyond the window to where the Skyline is parked. It was almost perverse as every inch of the car was examined by your gaze.

Leon directs his attention to the Skyline parked there in front of the restaurant, relieved they are able to escape the scene alive at least. Although, the indication that you were still expecting to acquire the car, Leon could not help but exhale harshly through his nose. “Actually… I was hoping you would let me keep my car…” Leon trails off, immediately ceasing speaking.

“Pretty boy, we raced and I won-” You began, using the fork to cut a piece of the waffle, the chocolate obscenely smeared on the plate. “Believe me when I say you’re in my good graces. Most people would have left me to be arrested or hell, die… But you didn’t. Even then, it would be almost a sin for me to let a rare prize slip from my possession. I’m not waiting 25 years, till what… 2023 or 2024 when they’re legal to import. I’ll be in my 40s, and I want to retire with one already under my care…” You justify to Leon, extending the fork across the table to him as a peace offering. His head jolts at the sudden piece of food in front of his face, noticing how the waffle was threatening to slide off.

“Say ahh,” You part your lips, pressing the fork to his lips until he reluctantly opens his mouth.

The mixture of chocolate and syrup was overwhelming to his taste buds, but chewed enough to swallow it down. A firm frown lined his lips, unable to tolerate the sweet taste lingering in his mouth.

“How about this, Santoro… keep the car tonight. But tomorrow night, I expect it in my garage. We can exchange cars with whatever pick from my collection…” You iterate with a cheeky smirk from his discomfort. Your hand pulls out your wallet from your jacket, tugging out a few $20s to drop on the table before standing from the booth. Leon peers at the few $20 dollar bills piled on the table, bewildered to why you would exceed more than what you needed to pay.

“Let’s go, Santoro,” You call to him, already on the verge of opening the entrance door. Leon follows suit, politely waving to the waitress and cook behind the counter. The rookie observes how your legs limp to the passenger door, prompting him to sigh. “Hey, I could help you walk…” He blurts out, but instantly regrets his own words as he witnesses the features of your face cringe.

“Can you just unlock the damn car? It’s almost 2AM, people start leaving the bars at this time. I need this car in one piece.” Your palm thumps on the top of the Skyline, an apparent contradiction to the blonde.

Leon clicks his tongue, strolling to the driver’s side and unlocks the doors. “Am I dropping you off? Where do you live?” He inquires while turning the ignition. The purrs of the engine resonated throughout the entire car, and you swore the vibration stirred something between your thighs.

“How else would the fuck I get home? East from here, near downtown off Euston Street,” You answer, settling back on the passenger seat.

It was enough information for Leon to steer the R34 away from the Waffle House, mindful to avoid the downtown area of Raccoon City. Dead of night, the roads were empty except for the occasional semi truck. Those photos of the injured truck drivers for Umbrella burned in his mind and served as a reminder to his objective. With occasional glances, Leon realized that exhaustion lulled you to sleep. This night proved to have taken an entire toll on your body. Just in mere minutes, the notorious El Jefe dozed off on his passenger set. Steady breaths raised your chest and your eyelashes were prominent. Now with the cards in his play, Leon became aware how you were practically in the palms of his hands on the edge with certainty of obtaining your trust. Only if he could laugh in Eliot’s smug face at this moment.

Eventually Leon gradually slows the Skyline when he enters Euston street, speculating which house down the dark street belonged to you. His hand rouses your sleeping form with a gentle shake on the shoulder, observing how your eyelashes flutter. Several grumbles leave your lips, wearily annoyed to be awoken until the familiar surroundings outside the car register within your mind. “We’re here already, huh?” Your voice almost whines.

“Mhhm,” Leon confirms, waiting for your directive to the house you lived in.

“Shit, I’m so tired… Uh, it’s three houses down. One story with a wide white patio and a large magnolia tree in the front lawn,” You point in the distance, prompting the blonde to cautiously drive the car to the matched description lair you call home. Maybe it was the manner you flaunted yourself before everyone earlier at the races, but Leon assumed El Jefe would reside within a luxurious grand mansion. The house was neither extravagant nor impoverished,- just oddly humble.

Once the Skyline halts along the curve, your hand gravitates to the door handle before whirling to the blonde in the driver’s seat. “I expect this car to be delivered by 6PM tomorrow, before the sun sets. And as agreed, a peek at my collection…” You wink and pull the car lever to open the door. Discomfort was still evident to how your body straightened out of the R34, groans weakly sound. “Wear something nice and casual, not whatever dorkish shit you're wearing. Can’t let people believe I let anyone hang around me,” You taunt with a grin on your face, closing the passenger door and walking around the car to the walkway that leads to the entrance door.

When the sight of you disappears behind the door, the rookie releases a staggered breath that has been held in since the arrival at your house. The hooks were in, yet Leon needed to strategize how to reel you in. A rev from the engine soars as Leon U-turns out the street, returning to the main road. Both hands grip the steering wheel, so giddy from how this sole night progressed. Although, the time was entirely late and he would have pair up with Eliot to understand his absence. For what the obstacles were worth, the outcome compelled Leon to appreciate the beauty of the night. Beyond the dark clouds, Leon could glimpse the silver lining of the full moon. If Leon remembered correctly from the morning news, tomorrow night would entail the Wolf’s Moon. There were no goodbyes exchanged, only a demand placed, not a question.

And Leon knew he should have not been disappointed by the lack of.

LUXURY/RACE CARS SKZ DRIVE PT 3

Seo Changbin

1. MCLAREN 🖤

2. FULL CARBON FIBER WIDE BODY C8 🖤

3. MATTE BLACK SHELBY G7500 🖤

4. HURACAN 🖤

5. MCLAREN SENNA VOLCANO RED 🖤

Main Choice: DODGE CHARGER 🖤

(FLASH WARNING BYW)

Changbin is a car guy -argue with the wall if you disagree- and it’s so evident. He is partial to muscle cars and prefers very eye catching but subtle vehicles. He customizes his cars very meticulously and will study what works for his vehicles and what won’t.

He’ll let you add on customizations too. You practically had a say or opinion on everything. So, when someone compliments his car or the style of it he’s quick to mention how you designed most of it. It’s another form of flattery Changbin imitates anytime he can.

Changbin had your signatures tagged on a specific place -bumper, spoiler, or right on the hood on the drivers side. You asked him why he wanted your signature on it and he smiled wide as he told you, “So people know who I belong to baby. It looks good too, don’t you think?…” It’s a sweet gesture on his part and it makes you blush every-time he admires it. He’s yours and wants everyone to know it too.

He keeps your perfume in the car at all times. Changbin sprays it anytime the scent of you fades away and it quite literally comforts him when you’re not around. You don’t say anything about it and secretly revel in the fact that if another woman ever did try to take your place as his passenger princess they’d be sorely disappointed.

Changbin has a real addictive habit of groping you while he’s driving. He just can’t help himself, needing to touch you even while he’s driving, and you’ll let him because in all honesty the sight of him driving turn you on more than it should. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other either palming your breasts, rubbing your thigh, or lazily cupping your clothes cunt he can maintain a sense of physical affection. Once or twice his eyes will drift over to look at your flustered or smug expression. “Eyes on the road Binnie,” you softly reprimand him, smiling when he groans, and reluctantly fixes his gaze back on the street.

Changbin ensures you have a set of his keys for your own use at all times. He’s adamant about giving you free range with his car when you need it. “You’re too cute when you’re driving baby,” he teased you the second you’re backing out of the parking lot. You scoff and try not to smirk at his compliment while putting the car into full gear, speeding down the road just under the posted limit, and Changbin chuckles at your eagerness for adrenaline. “Easy, pretty girl. Don’t get yourself into trouble…”

In 1960, an absolute masterpiece of the Milan Carrozzeria Zagato was created in an English-Italian collaboration: the Aston Martin DB 4 GT Zagato. 50 years later, the decision was made to launch a new creation for the anniversary: the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Zagato, which went into small series production almost exactly 12 years ago. A total of 101 units were produced at a sporty price of around 500,000 euros. But 510 bhp in an Italian dress were good arguments. One of these cars surprisingly crossed our path in Hamburg. The roof, hood and doors were handcrafted from aluminum, while the front and rear fenders, trunk lid and side sills are made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. Less weight is more. And if you look closely, you will even recognize the typical Zagato "double bubble" roof. Sprezzatura at its best!

Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo

Year: 2013

Make: Mercedes-Benz AMG

Model: Vision Gran Turismo

Details:

In one of the city background shots, we see a silver car parked along the curb (left) that's a dead ringer for the Mercedes-Benz AMG Gran Vision Turismo (right).

The Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo is a two-door coupe concept car initially developed exclusively as one of the sports car models for the Gran Turismo 6 video game. But it was later built in real life. According to automotive media sources, only 5 AMG Vision Gran Turismo cars were ever produced and went for around $1.5 million USD. So, whoever owns this car in-game is a very lucky car collector with deep pockets 👀

Specs:

The frame is made of aluminum, the body is made of carbon fiber, and a removable spoiler was installed at the back. Under the hood, it's equipped with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre M157 AMG V8 engine with an output of 580 horsepower. The 6.2 L M159 DOHC V8 engine was used for the car's racing series.

BAE Vantare V12 (1 of 10).

British Automotive Engineering (BAE) is currently working on a new Bond-style sports car in Essex, Great Britain. Of course, it will be a grand tourer with a V12 under the hood. To avoid having to start on a blank sheet of paper, the BAE team led by actor and TV presenter Bradley Walsh looked around intensively and finally selected a good existing base. This comes from the Aston Martin DB9, which rolled off the production line at Gaydon between 2004 and 2016. By using base cars that have already been approved, it is possible to concentrate on other things that have to be developed. Only the roof and windows remain from the original body. All other body parts are given a new look in the style of classic sports cars, such as those driven by Sean Connery as James Bond 007. State-of-the-art hybrid materials such as carbon fiber composite are used for this purpose.

An the end, the newly created vehicle goes by the name of Vantare and is limited to just ten units. All upcoming owners will be able to configure their respective cars completely freely. In addition to colors for the paint and interior, this also includes mechanical upgrades that provide more power. Without these modifications, the six-liter V12 with automatic transmission already ensures that the Vantare accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and on to a topspeed in excess of 180 mph. Leather upholstery is available in a choice of smooth or suede and in modern or classic colors. There are also polished aluminium elements and hand-finished exposed carbon trim. Standard equipment also includes an advanced infotainment system with nine-inch touchscreen display, navigation system, DAB radio as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Allison’s JetSki facts for Fanfics that I think people will find helpful!

*Disclaimer I’m not going fully into depth with any of these, but I’ll try my best to point out what stuck out to me after riding them ever since I was a little kid all the way up until I got a boating license to drive and take care of them all on my own. -Must also inform you I’ve only ever rode and drove SeaDoo brand Jetski’s - and got a boating license when I lived in California four years ago - so for fanfics maybe check your laws when it comes to your state, and find out what brand of jetski your writing about because my experience may differ.

(Also I’m mainly doing this because Jetski’s appearances in Loki but if this helps other fandoms or fics and such please enjoy!)

• I’m starting this off with Jetski’s are varying types of sturdy plastic/fiberglass/and carbon fiber - they are not metal. (I’ve seen a few fics so far of ppl describing the texture and such as metal and I promise it does not feel that way and it’s not metal at all.) - it is more thin-feeling plastic on the exterior bits and a much harder durable plastic on the undercarriage. (The seat and more “plush”accents [small spot in the middle of the handles] feel a mix of pleather with the texture of a basketball)

• Speaking of the undercarriage of the Jetski, there’s a sticker at the bottom that instructs you on what to do if you flip a jetski! -it mainly is just standing on the corner of one end and using your weight to turn it back over.

•You must be asking Allison how does one flip a jetski? I’ll tell you! Jetski’s are very fast and sleek, which makes you want to pull very sharp turns, which you can sometimes pull off but do not be surprised if you can’t - and this very well may topple the Jetski.

• Sharp turns is not all that will flip you, Jetski’s do have a recommended amount of passengers. Three grown adults is doable, but not recommended if you’re in a higher weight class and you also plan to do quick maneuvers. But otherwise, the ideal amount of people on a jetski for good maneuverability is two!

• Don’t worry too much about flipping a Jetski but keep it in mind because Jetski’s are heavy - mine alone with a full tank of gas where pushing 800 pounds and those models where fairly new. Not as new as the one seen in Loki but only a few years off so I’m assuming that one is much of the same in weight.

• In cases of flipping or even being thrown off (I’ve legit been thrown off and I was driving while my cousin behind me did not) if you’re behind the driver the seats have straps to hold onto.

⬆️CAUTION: these straps are thin and it’s not recommended you even stick your fingers fully under them, just your fingertips, because with the amount of force you go flying, you may very well lose your fingers.

• So when holding on while riding if you are a passenger, either tend to those small straps with your finger tips or place your arms on the drivers hips! - BUT PASSENGERS DO NOT LEAN INTO TURNS LIKE THE DRIVER MIGHT- THIS CAN FLIP YOU OR MAKE THE DRIVER OVER DO IT IF YOU MOVE THEM ACCIDENTALLY

• jetski’s run by pulling in water and propelling it out! Because of this, Jetski’s cannot be driven in shallow places. In case you do there is something inside called a wear-ring, it is built to break in case things get sucked in. (Trust me I’ve broken a wear ring before and it all I can say is a jetski sounds angry when this happens)

• above this motor is a pull down bar, so if you happen to get in the water, you have an easy way of climbing back onto your jetski (when it’s off obviously - please don’t try getting on behind a jetski when it’s on or if u are make sure it’s on idle)

• Jetski’s have little or big compartments depending on the model, one under the handle bars, and a bigger one in the front hood. This is excluding the space under the seat where the engine sits - do not store stuff with the engine unless you want to kill your jetski.

• in these compartments you should have a small anchor for your jetski, and as laws have increased, you should have your boater license on you, because trust me jetski’s do get pulled over a lot; and do you want to know why cause I will tell you bluntly; lots of people who ride jetski’s ignore the safety rules and get people killed or seriously hurt because of it.

• So I’m going to explain some of those rules for you! When you bring a jetski out, you’ll see the wake line (normally a line of buoys that will legit till you go 5 mph) That means go 5mph in that area as it’s for swimmers and boats to safetly move near one another to get out into where they can go fast.

(Idk how to even describe the thrill it was being young and going that long trek to the buoy line of 5mph and my dad immediately jumping to top speeds the second we were safe to do so!)

•Different color buoys have different meanings, this I will not explain as it’s been some time since I’ve been on the water but please do look these things up if you plan to go boating. Some buoys are colored as warnings!

• We all see the lines of waves other boats leave in their path, those are wakes and legally you are not supposed to cross those unless you feel you are a hundred feet back from the boat that made them. You do not want to cross someone’s wake close to them, it’ll save you from crashing because other boats are unpredictable.

(It legit is terrifying with how many jetski ppl try to cross other ppls wakes - especially other jetski’s- while being all too close. Seen way too many close calls that could have been fatal.)

• DO NOT RIDE YOUR JETSKI AT NIGHT IT IS AGAINST THE LAW AND DANGEROUS. Jetski’s do not come with lights therefore they are not safe to operate at night. (My sister lost a friend to this and it’s all too common a way to die on a jetski.)

• Jetski’s are mainly made for lakes not the ocean! That isn’t so say you can’t ride them in the ocean, you very much can, it’s just salt water is a immensely degradable substance that can ultimately affect the lifespan of your jetski. So finding a good lake is the best way to go.

•Anytime you use a jetski, after the fact you must throughly wash it ALL. That means running water through it and the motor to effectively clean everything out. This is an environmental law, and when you bring your jetski to any lake it will be inspected before it may come in! (I suggest watching a YouTube video of the process if you really want to go into it)

•if you’ve noticed when unloading a jetski, jetski’s on a trailer are normally facing your vehicle! This is because jetski’s have a reverse option much like a car, it’s usually a lever on the handle much like the break for a bike!

•jetski’s come with special keys, a normal and learners key mainly - though that depends on what you buy; those are just the standards we got when we first bought ours. The learners key will not allow the jetski to go as fast as the normal but trust me you probably won’t notice it still goes fast.

•Highly suggest these keys are connected to your life vest (WHICH YOU SHOULD BE WEARING AT ALL TIMES) because if you happen to go flying or fall off, the key will immediately turn off the engine.

•if you so happen to fall in and the jetski keeps going forward and is still running DO NOT STAY WHERE YOU ARE so due to some kind of physics or whatever (not sure how to explain this but I legit remember the hour long lecture I had to watch in boating school for this) Jetski’s will turn around on their own and come back. If you’re in the same spot, you will get run over. So boot out of the way as fast as you can. If the jetski doesn’t turn and comes to a complete stop in whatever trajectory it went off in, you can approach and get back on.

• For environmental safety you are not supposed to fill up the gas of a jetski on the water or at the dock or anything. Take your jetski’s to the gas station before hand, yes it’s tedious and hard to do with a trailer but it’s much safer and better for the environment than you somehow spilling gas into the water.

• For the safety of your skin, in that little compartment keep some sunscreen, you burn twice as fast and bad on the water as the sun is reflected off the water and back up at you.

• The day after, no matter how much you ride jetski’s normally, your thighs will hurt and ache. Riding a jetski is basically straddling something large enough to force your legs apart- and it does this for long periods of time. Even if you’re someone who drives standing, the width you hold your legs apart is barely natural. So expect some sore legs.

•Be observant and calculating, you need to always be scanning as other ppl likely do not know what they are doing, and it’s not like the roads where you have lanes. People will try to get in your space, you need to constantly know where the people around you are.

• That also goes for the water. Jetski’s come with a flag (I’m sorry I can’t recall if it’s red or white and I keep seeing different versions) but if you see someone waving a flag- stop your vehicle. It means someone is in the water! BEWARE.

• If you decide to have fun towing someone behind your jetski, you cannot be alone. You absolutely must have someone behind the driver, seated at the end of the jetski backwards - holding to the straps or small handle there- watching the tow. That person is in charge of the flag lest who you’re towing falls off.

(This one is more so a seadoo company fact rather than a full on jetski fact, but when they release new jetski’s they only release it in two colors at that time - so we bought two the same year and got the only two colors at that time which had been orange and blue - so if you’re writing about seadoo specifically I’d look up the colors and years of whatever model your talking about)

It’s very easy to get caught up in the fun of riding a jetski, and it’s a great experience truly it is, but there’s also a lot to look out for. Because at the end of the day it’s still a vehicle, not a toy.

It’s quite the responsibility but if you’re up to it, they’re a lot of fun to have. These are just some of the things that came to mind, and I’m not sure how helpful this will all be. But I’ll be sure to add more if I come up with anything else.

Our Ultimate Bronco Badlands Build

When it comes to enhancing the Ford Bronco, we spared no expense in creating the ultimate off-road beast that maintains its daily driving comfort. From performance upgrades to luxurious touches, our Ford Bronco is what we find to be the perfect balance between all the adventure capabilities while maintaining it’s reliable daily driving duties. While we say we spared no expense, (mainly the $10,000 suspension kit) we were able to achieve Raptor qualities, at a budget friendly price tag. The VR Tuned ECU Tuning Box and VR Performance Bronco Exhaust System we proper additions to make this the ultimate Jeep killer. Let’s jump into some finer details of this build!

Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 Suspension Kit –

To elevate the Bronco’s off-road capabilities, we incorporated the Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 Suspension Kit. This high-performance suspension system enhances ground clearance, improves handling, and provides a smooth ride on rough terrains. With improved articulation and damping, this kit ensures the Bronco conquers any obstacle that comes its way. Check out this amazing suspension package HERE. Not looking to make the jump into Stage 8? That is totally ok! Icon’s suspension packages are completely modular and give drivers the option to begin their build journey as low as a Stage 1 Kit and build as far as Stage 8 and beyond! Heck, you could even start with a IVD Spacer Kit to get your Bronco nice and level before replacing the stock suspension. This is one reason we love Icon Vehicle Dynamics and the mission to have performance solutions for all Bronco drivers! You can shop all Icon Vehicle Dynamics Supsension Kits for the Ford Bronco HERE.

VR Forged D14 Wheels and Toyo 38″ Tires –

Equipped with VR Forged D14 wheels sized at 20 x 8.5, our Bronco exudes a commanding presence. These lightweight and durable wheels are designed to withstand the rigors of off-roading while adding a touch of aggressive style. Complementing the wheels are Toyo Open Country M/T 38″ tires, offering excellent traction and grip in various conditions, making the Bronco unstoppable on any trail. The forged wheel option is a great compliment to the massive 38″ tires to help save some weight. Did you know the weight difference between between at forged vs cast wheel can be about 2 lbs per wheel?! Factor in sprung weight and that can actually make a difference! Not to mention the strength of Forged wheels are no match for cast production wheels. Check out the D14 VR Forged Wheels for the Ford Bronco HERE.
