Headcanons/speculation about how the preps acquired their wealth and current source if income:

The Harringtons: "Harrington Oil" can be seen advertized on the go-cart racetrack so we can assume they are oil tycoons. Derby is featured in Aquaberry advertisements so perhaps his family are shareholders and invest in other luxury clothing brands as well.

The Gauthiers: It's hard to say. Chad mentions Pinky's father bought her an entire ice cream factory so maybe he owns a major food manufacturing company a la Nestle. I also guess her parents are philanthropists considering that she has no qualms about donating to charity

The Taylors: Bif mentions his dad possibly bulldozing some low-income housing so I'm going to say land development and real estate. If he gets hit by a car Bif will mention his father being an attorney. I'm also going to consider Derby's little jab about him being a Democrat and say his dad is a political attorney.

The Spencers: "Spencer Shipping", a shipping manufacturing company; Tad says his father is a self-made man but perhaps his mother is old-money, hence the inbreeding. She may have came from an old British aristocrat family, and Tad does his best to replicate her accent.

The Vanderveldes: Sounds like "Vanderbilt" so imma say railroads

The Vendomes: Gord's dad is an attorney and owns a law firm that specializes in criminal cases. He also owns several hotels so he's in the hospitality business

The Montroses: Bryce's dad has gambled away most of their money and whatever source of wealth they have isn't enough to get their family out of debt. The best guess I can give is that his father is an investor and is currently seeing little to no returns on his investments (after more digging I found a quote were Bryce states his father told him he "lost a bundle in the stock market").

The Ogilvies: Literally no dialogue hints at his family's business so let's say his father owns a large vehicle manufacturing company and his mother is a professional conductor.

The Morrises: Chad mentions his father a lot like he's a really important person so perhaps he's in politics or works on the board of education. He mentions not receiving his usual care package from his mother, meaning that she may not live nearby in the Vale. She may have a profession that requires her to travel a lot. Judging by Chad's quotes about the environment I'd say she's an environmentalist.

Announcement/Update Cat parents of MALE CATS SPECIFICALLY! If their under 8 &/or u’ve yet to learn about ‘the possibility of obstruction (something that CAN & WILL happen to certain genetically predisposed cats; swap them to wet food for their safety & PLEASE READ)

Hey guys💔 Todays rope had to be canceled. I had to rush one of my boys to ER. It was pretty serious, pretty scary & after 2 days I was finally able to bring him home but, I’m gonna have to keep an eye on him.Because of his size & the meds he needed; they hit him heavy so, he needs help going to the bathroom & using the water bowl.

Thank you to everyone whose reached out via IG as this was going down; if I didn’t get back to you, my apologies; it’s been a bit hectic but Im sincerely grateful for everyone’s concern.

IF U HAVE MALE CATS; SWAP THEM TO WET FOOD FOR THEIR SAFETY if u wanna spare a 1k vet bill,

(I was so shocked to hear both the vet & a lot of my fellow cat owners say “yeah it’s common, most ppl just don’t find out their cats intolerant till the worst happens; & because cats mask so well; at that point, it can truly be serious…)

I know Miami is densely populated but not everyone is 10 mins away from a vet. Also times are tough; I cannot stomach the idea of someone losing their cat cause they didn’t have 1000$ on standby (which who the fk has that these days)

I want to make this last part exceptionally clear..,

I am someone who has had a job since before I was legally allowed to obtain one… I’m one of millions of Americans who couldn’t afford college nor qualify for financial aid… I have worked to the BONE In everything from service industry, to blue collar, to maintenance(both in terms of house keeping & even assembling & maintenance of salt water aquariums..was even a groutsmith) like most Americans, I’ve never had insurance & lived paycheck to paycheck + have made just enough to get by since I was 15.

I didn’t have ‘luxurious purchases’ I had medical bills I couldn’t even afford a regular minimum payment on… I didn’t save for ‘exuberant trips’ … I saved to get a weeks worth of groceries…

I never bought a car..: but some days I spent just as much as I made just to get to work ..(& while the men were praised for riding their bikes & showing “that type of initiative…” I was berated for showing up to work “in such a condition” “It doesn’t matter u come in early /before we open to “fix urself up”

When YOU WALK IN THRU THAT DOOR, U WALK/TALK/COME IN LIKE UR ALREADY ON THE CLOCK… U SHOULD BE COMING IN EARLY ANYWAY (just for them to yell at u for actually coming in early)

The ONLY REASON, I (someone who would literally run into a burning building & d*e for their animals; for animals who weren’t even mine) someone who would miss meals so they could eat THE best food…someone who LOVES & is DEDICATED to their creatures, who would do ANYTHING for them, & MOST importantly..

Someone who was DUMB/NAIVE ENOUGH to be ‘the hardest worker in the room for souless companies/selfish ppl for 30+ yrs was ONLY CAPABLE of getting my baby THAT care NOT because of a “traditional (what yall call ‘honest days work’) IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED SW. full fucking stop.

& because I had a women who had both a virtually non interest credit card AND my back♥�� (I’ve told u once, I’ll say it again; Grandmas a gangster)

I know SM likes to frame SW as an option for women who “don’t feel like working/ want expensive luxuries things & are looking for a free ride..”

What we’re lookin for is a career that allows us to still man the ship the way we need to, we’ve been expected to..

It allows us not just means for survival, but the capacity to do so WHILE we continue to be the caretakers of our family & (for some particularly exceptional women) the caretakers of our community…

I wanna make it SO clear this is NOT A DIG to ANYONE, ESPECIALLY the vet& staff that helped us & are appreciated SOOO DEEPLY. These are ppl who are overwhelmed, burnt out like the rest of us, expect unlike nurses, they usually aren’t given a 1/4 of the respect other medical professionals are. PLEASE be kind to them. (I know it’s difficult when emotions are high)

But while this was not my regular content, I know ALOT animal lovers on here… times are tough, there only gonnna get tougher… information is invaluable..

1 week before this happened; 1 woman made a video sharing how she JUST lost her MALE CAT (due to this)

Because of THAT video, I was aware this could even happen…

Because of a incredible vet & her team who TRUSTED me when I said “I will figure out the money, u have my WORD” my boy is safe & while expensive; they made it as affordable as possible…

And because of another woman who had my back w/a piece of plastic at the drop of a hat, I was able to bring him home.

And because of some incredible supporters & community like yall who like my content & share it, push it into the algo, find me on other platforms s & interact, even if they can’t financially contribute.. because of being lucky enough to be supported; I was able to make that happen for my boy. Every single variable is what came together to keep him here today & my heart… can’t even think of how to properly thank you all.

The community looked out for me.. & while this post may be all I have to give back ATM.. it’s what I got..

MALE CATS=WET FOOD TO BE SAFE!!!

(Also, CONSTANT FRESH WATER SOURCE BOTH BY & away from their food ; by their food so they have some to access while eating & some away so it stays fresh & can help them pass more easily.)

Love u guys xoxoxo.

We’ll be resuming to our regular scheduled content next week lol

Till then, xoxoox - hummingbird + ‘Fil’ @ooooshetriesss

CHICO ROSADO

16 september 2017 radio interview recording room

carlos sweeps a few fingers through the thick of his dark hair, sitting pliantly in a cushy chair with little attention to the commotion of a tech crew around him. he settles his cap back atop his head and finally puts on a pair of large black headphones.

across the table sits an interviewer and a co-host. the three are cozied up in a rather soundproof room. this is carlos’ first radio interview, but it all still feels familiar— in a good way, carlos decides.

he remains demure even though there are no cameras watching him. he fiddles with his hands in his lap, twists the headphone wire, and sinks into his chair as he and the interviewers have a surprisingly unfiltered conversation.

…

interviewer 1: so, the car you drive off the track is… what did you say it was?

carlos: a golf gti, one my parents bought for me.

ah, i see. so not too much luxury outside of racing?

i wouldn’t say that [laughs]. i’m still interested in cars, i love them.

interviewer 2: and he still wants to impress people when he’s not racing [laughs]

does your volkswagen get you any attention from the ladies?

[laughs] i mean…

well, are you in a relationship?

i was, but recently no. i’ve become single in the past few years.

ah, shame to hear it.

was it good while it lasted?

yes, it was good.

was it good in the volkswagen?

[laughs]

[laughs] can you even lay someone in there? is it even big enough? [laughs]

no, no, you can! i mean, it’s possible—

oh, the confidence!

he’s done it.

he has definitely done it. carlos, have you done it in your modest volkswagen gti?

no, you can’t ask that!

[laughs]

i won’t say.

that’s basically a yes!

now i think i know why you’re recently single [laughs]

oh god— were you only treating her to car sex?

[laughs] [pauses] you can’t be asking this live on air, no?

of course we can, it’s our show!

no, no i still won’t answer [laughs]

no answer is an answer, carlos.

19 september 2017 red bull lounge

“carlos, there’s press going around about you having car sex.”

“what?”

max poorly stifles a laugh, his grin radiating even from behind his hand. he passes his phone to carlos; it’s open to an article with his name written in bold.

‘carlos sainz: busy in cars on and off the track!

it was in a recent radio show interview where the formula 1 driver for toro rosso teased his promiscuity around his car— a volkswagen golf gti.

the interviewers egged sainz on with alluding questions, such as “can you even lay someone in there?”, and while sainz portrayed hesitance to confirm anything otherwise, he did confidently press the fact that yes, you can lay a body down in a golf gti.

“you can— i mean, it’s possible,” sainz had told his interviewers. he denied answering explicitly wether or not he has done “it” in his car with his now ex-girlfriend, but listeners are sure that the race-car driver would have been seen blushing had there also been cameras to record the interview.’

carlos tosses max’s phone back to him. there’s a carefree quirk in his eyebrow, and his laugh is smooth and unconcerned.

28 september 2017 carlos’ hotel room

another article.

‘formula 1 driver carlos sainz car sex scandal’

really, it’s a scandal now?

‘…so we all can’t help but wonder— can you have sex in a formula 1 race-car?’

no, not unless you tried hard enough. and even then…

it’s better to start somewhere easier, to try something a bit more spacious. something like: a volkswagen golf gti.

29 september 2017 red bull lounge

“who is the lucky lady laying down in carlos sainz’s VW golf gti?”

“mate,” carlos sighs. “they cannot be serious, these news articles.”

“eh, this one only has a couple hundred reads,” max says.

“so what, you’re just looking for these articles for fun now?”

“yes,” max laughs. “i am. but you know it’s funny, too.”

carlos raises an eyebrow.

“who’s the lucky lady?”

there’s a suspicious pause from max, then, the two boys are snickering and nodding amongst themselves.

7 october 2017 formula 1 & 2 press meet and greet

there’s a reserved look on carlos’ face as he idles next to his fellow competitors. stuffed into a small room, they all waddle a bit like penguins to shake the hands of their younger counterparts— the talented formula 2 drivers.

with greetings to be shared and questions to be both asked and answered, carlos meanders quietly in the background. not avoiding, and not exactly aloof, but perhaps a sweet mixture of both. he has no intent to come across as better-than, and he has enough pride to not wither away in the background.

that must be why he is able to easily linger towards an open seat on a small leather couch, and go comfortably unnoticed by the masses.

but, he is still recognized by one.

“leclerc,” a boy sat next to carlos says, and reaches for carlos’s hand. “charles leclerc. i’m for prema racing.”

carlos shakes his hand. it feels delicate, soft. he knows this boy.

“right, f2’s golden boy, chico de oro.”

“is that what they’re calling me?”

carlos finds it cute, the way charles expresses so confidently but still has the shy dimples of a young boy. he’s an interesting mix, and has been to carlos for some time now.

“it is in the articles, yes. i’ve seen you race. you do good.”

“thank you. i’m a fan of yours as well, it’s nice to meet you.”

carlos didn’t say he was a fan. he contemplates teasing the younger boy with that, hanging it over his head that he admitted to being a fan of carlos first, so easily.

but he’s so earnest, carlos thinks. those dimples and that blush can’t be faked.

“you look a bit red, mate.”

“oh,” charles goes quiet.

“did i do that?” carlos asks, so bluntly and so quietly. (he had leaned in to mutter it softly to charles.)

“it’s warm in here,” charles wipes his palms on his thighs. he’s dressed in his racing suit, his helmet and gloves on the floor between his feet.

carlos has his team jersey on, the material tight but breathable. and of course, his red bull cap sits backwards on his head. he adjusts it and reclines on the couch, pleased with charles’ blush and the quiet hum of voices all around him.

“okay, chico rosado.”

10 october 2017 red bull lounge, post japanese grand prix

a wave of people crowds around max, and carlos is pushed to the edge of the shore. he sits with his trainer, and a few other red bull crew members, at a table near the edge of the lounge. he’s glad for max, but jealous for himself.

last place would have been better than a dnf.

“be grateful that you get to race at all,” his father would say.

daniel comes to sit with him, but doesn’t say much. carlos contemplates his congratulations for max, discusses what went wrong and what went right, and wonders how charles is doing in the lower ranks.

hours later, that same night:

los toros groupchat 10:33 pm

carlos sainz > i think we should party

max v 33 > say more?

dr3 > say less > i’m in

max v 33 > where are we partying?

carlos sainz > we’re in japan. anywhere.

dr3 > i actually know a place, i think

max v 33 > of course you do

dr3 > i think you mean ‘thank you’ babe

carlos sainz > okay 333, i’ll see you guys in 30. > send the location daniel?

dr3 [dr3 shared a location with you.]

carlos sainz > gracias

10:57 pm

carlos sainz > by the way, i’m inviting charles

max v 33 > who?

carlos sainz > el chico de oro de f2. > golden boy leclerc.

one hour later, that same night

daniel has, in daniel fashion, walked his friends into a car meet and promptly abandoned them for drinks and a good time with max. they wander under twinkling stars and flashing neon lights, all mostly out-shined by the iridescent mix of headlights by their feet.

“bit romantic isn’t it? all the headlights acting as stars that we can touch.”

“you know you can’t touch the cars dan,” max says, as if he has said this sentence one hundred times before.

“alright fine. but i do know a star i can touch,” daniel winks at his boyfriend.

they stroll hand in hand down the blocked off road, past rows of sports cars, convertibles, race-cars.

max asks daniel about carlos’ friend. “he’s in formula 2, no?”

“yeah, some ankle biter.”

“he looks my age, dan.”

“what, and you’re not an ankle biter?”

max shoves daniel in the side, chasing his attack with a kiss on the cheek.

“yeah,” daniel continues. “looks like they’re friends now. i dunno, i think the little one might have a bit of a crush on our carlos.”

max silently ponders the possibilities.

laughter erupts all around them, the soundscape joyous but still somewhat promiscuous. a scandalous beat slips out of speakers in the back of some silver mercedes, and max and daniel surely aren’t the only couple to find their kissing to match the rhythm.

charles wonders if carlos will kiss him.

he won’t.

it would be too soon, for no reason other than carlos likes to tease. and, some self restraint is always good to practice.

carlos doesn’t even touch charles this night. they walk side by side, carlos ogling the cars, charles ogling carlos. this type of flashiness has never been introduced to charles. he is used to a more refined, look-but-don’t-touch type of extravagance.

that’s why charles enjoys himself so much. what a new and wonderful experience it is, to go out with a cute boy and have him explain to you the odds and ends of every decked out car you walk by. like a breath of fresh air in a familiar field. charles smells the friendly breeze of gasoline and asphalt, but the flowers carry a different fragrance.

“do you do street racing ever, charles?”

“ah, no. i’ve never found the time to.”

“oh, but you want to?”

charles quirks an eyebrow.

“to find the time?” carlos clarifies.

charles ponders for a moment. “i’m not so sure,” he begins. “i only just recently got my first car, i don’t want to ruin it or anything by racing with it.”

“only now you got your own car?” carlos asks, suddenly working out some math in his head. “and how old are you?”

“well, i am only nineteen, but i have a birthday in a week.”

“really, in a week?”

it’s hard to explain why for charles, but he feels so exposed in front of carlos, now that he knows his birthday. is that such an intimate thing, to know the date that someone came into this world? or perhaps, is charles shying away from carlos’ glance simply because he seems interested in knowing anything about him at all?

“you’ll have to do something then. maybe you can celebrate with a little racing.”

charles glances over to carlos. he’s got such a relaxed face on, and that nonchalant smile… charles can’t help but wonder if it means anything. or maybe the younger is just reading into it... but oh, that look; like carlos has a secret and he doesn’t care if you know it or not.

“when is your birthday?” charles asks, an awkward break of the silence. carlos does laugh at this, but kindly, quietly.

“it was in september.”

“oh! so you just turned…”

“twenty-two. the first of the month.”

“well, happy late birthday, carlos.” charles let’s out a thoughtful hum as he glances at the street food vendors around them. “shall i buy you a present?”

charles’ laugh is light and airy, but the glance carlos passes to him is the opposite.

“i think i already have all that i want.”

13 october 2017 the streets of madrid, spain

the days feel different when carlos is back home in madrid. maybe the air has changed, perhaps the sun shines brighter, the water glistens a little shinier. there is an aura in his home that he quickly finds comfort and strength in.

it’s something like being reawakened. especially now, as he sits with an attentive foot on the pedal of his car.

he’s racing an old friend in front of a shaggy crowd, just a few kids his age eagerly waiting to see the cars peel out. some time has passed since he has done this, and it almost feels even better because of that.

the road is just under 1 kilometer long. carlos wins the race by a second.

15 october 2017 carlos’ bedroom

text message 3:45 pm

4:25 pm

carlos sainz > if you find yourself alone, here’s a good place to hangout. > especially after 9, when la poli are sleepy. [carlos sainz shared a location.]

16 october 2017 the streets of madrid, spain

it’s half past ten, and charles squints through the darkness to find himself amongst a crowd of rowdy people. heavy bass music bumps from behind him, and he weaves through all these unfamiliar bodies, trying to find the one he came here for.

no face in the crowd looks familiar. no words shouted out are really understandable to charles.

he catches a few familiar ones, though, and importantly, he understands when one woman calls out, “el final! están aquí!”

charles steadies his wandering and turns to face the same direction as everyone else. six glowing dots appear on the horizon line, fuzzy and rapidly approaching the crowd of people charles is crammed into.

it becomes clear quickly what they’re all sticking their necks out to see, and charles feels that familiar tug in his stomach the moment he hears the incoming hum and rev of the engines.

it’s unfair to compare them to that of his own race-car, but charles still gets goosebumps at the sight of the three cars barreling down the street as fast as they can. one red, one gray, one black.

they torpedo down the road. he can feel the kiss of a breeze across his face. the finish line is marked in bright orange spray paint. the gray car’s tires roll over it first. then red, then black.

charles cheers, despite being clueless as to who just won. all that he knows is someone won, and that in itself is exciting enough for the young boy. he wishes he had someone to shout with. to shout to, maybe.

he should find carlos.

charles makes his way towards the three cars. the competition seems friendly enough, hugs and high-fives and handshakes are passed around the people closest to the vehicles.

there’s even someone with a beat up megaphone announcing with vigor the results of the race.

in spanish, he calls out, “third place, román gil! in second, emilio maradiaga! and the winner of first place… our chili!”

applause and cheers fill the night air, as do flashing lights and bouncy music. the fanfare dies down rather quickly, but only as it is replaced with groups of people crowding around the cars to see the hype up-close.

charles weaves through the tightening web of people, to where he can stand with some breathing room off to the side. even with all the commotion, a space soon clears up, and grants him a beautiful view.

carlos leans against the hood of the gray car. his gray car. the volkswagen golf gti.

his arms are crossed as he laughs with some friends. he’s in some old gray jeans and a black t-shirt, but charles’ heart still stutters when he sees that nonchalant smile carlos does so well.

charles shoves his hands into the pocket of his hoodie, concealing the nervous fiddling of his fingers. he makes his way towards carlos, his eyes locked on the familiar handsome face.

he hoped it wouldn’t be, but it is awkward at first. the crowd has dwindled down to just four or five people, but charles struggles to find a space to slot himself into nicely. he taps a man on the back, tries to introduce himself, but the language barrier creates friction between them.

“uh, carlos… es mi amigo…” charles tries.

the man shrugs, but let’s him squeeze in any way. carlos notices him instantly.

“you came,” he says.

“i did,” is all charles can seem to say. his eyes linger on carlos’ face; his lips, his nose, his sparkling brown eyes. he’s sure an eternity passes before carlos speaks again.

“did you manage to see the race?”

“just the end of it. but i saw you cross the finish line first, yes.” charles smiles. carlos is rather fond of his sweet dimples. he’d like to see them more often.

it’s not hard to have the crowd of friends around him disperse, so carlos waves them away and makes some excuse that he has to show his friend around. on cue the cars next to his light up, and the commotion is drawn away from carlos and his car.

soon enough, it’s just him and charles.

“come on,” carlos nods his head towards his car, and says nothing further. he makes his way to the passenger side, and waits with his hand on the door handle, as if he and charles do this frequently.

charles rushes to his side, and blushes when carlos opens the door for him, his eyes following charles’ every move into the vehicle.

he wonders where carlos will take him (if anywhere), but mostly he wonders if carlos is happy that he came. he must be, if he invited charles, no? that text message, it was an invitation, right? carlos does want him here? he’s in carlos’ car now, and that can’t be for no reason.

charles twirls his hoodie strings around his finger. carlos starts the car and puts his hand on the back of charles’ seat.

“i’m going to take you somewhere i think you’ll like, charles.”

later, that same night

carlos’ car— his volkswagen golf gti — sits parked on a half sandy, half rocky shore of a secluded swimming pond. the two boys remain seated in the car, the moonlight bouncing off the water giving them enough light to feel safe, and enough darkness to be comfortable.

“seems like this is a good car for street racing,” charles offers, desperate to hear carlos’ voice again. the silence is comfortable, but not what he wants.

“mhm. it’s a good car all around,” carlos says. his fingers trace the steering wheel, the dashboard, the center console. charles has to catch his breath when carlos lands his hand on the gear shift, squeezing it. “it’s versatile.”

a silent moment passes. charles watches as carlos rubs his thumb back and forth on the nob. his blush is coming back.

“i saw that article, by the way,” charles starts, but he’s too shy to say more.

carlos looks at him blankly at first, then with the hint of a smile.

“the one claiming i had a lot of car sex in here?”

charles’ eyes widen. “yes, um… that one.”

“so?” carlos asks.

charles fails to understand. carlos’ smile grows a bit when he sees the way the younger boy’s eyebrows curve into two confused squiggles.

“what do you think?” carlos asks.

“oh… it’s a nice car. i like it.” charles takes his turn to run his fingers along the interior.

“that’s not what i meant, but thank you.”

“what did you mean, then?” charles stares at the gear shift, at carlos’ hand.

“what do you think about me having lots of sex in here, chico rosado?”

charles freezes, the pit of his stomach clenching and sending heat throughout him. god, is he that easy? he has to play it cool.

“you keep calling me that name, but i’m not sure what it means.”

“chico rosado?” carlos repeats. charles nods his head, shyly looking up at the older boy.

carlos smiles. he lifts his hand from the gear shift, and boldly rests it on charle’s face. his thumb strokes over his cheek. “it means… pink boy. i call you that, instead of golden boy, because of this color right here.”

the spot carlos refers to is charles’ soft cheek, but with his forwardness and big hand touching charles’ skin, the blush rapidly spreads to his neck and ears.

“and,” carlos begins. and although it’s small, perhaps only a fraction of a second long, carlos shows his first sign of hesitance. he pauses, then swipes his thumb over charles’ glossy lower lip. “you’re pink right here, too.”

while charles’ heart rate may spike, the way time moves around him suddenly feels as if it has slowed. the night sky is pitch black and still. carlos’ fingers move a millimeter a second across his lip. so slow it nearly tickles.

chico rosado. pink boy, not golden.

charles turns away from carlos.

“so you’re teasing me, then?” he asks.

“i never said it was a bad thing, charles.”

“it’s not something i can help,” charles’ voice is nearing the volume of a whisper. his attempt to remove carlos’ hand from him has failed, rendering him staring sadly at his feet while carlos keeps his hand on charle’s shoulder.

some crickets sing outside of the car. the moonlight dances over the water, over both of their faces. charles sighs. was he too naive? was he foolish, to think all of this might have been something else?

“growing up, i’ve always been teased for it,”

“charles—“

“i was called girly for it. and that’s not even a bad thing, but they all meant it bad.”

carlos doesn’t remove his hand from charles’ shoulder. in fact, the younger boy feels it gently creep up to his neck.

“i know it was all meaningless teasing, but it still stuck with me.”

“i’m sorry they bullied you like that.”

“it’s fine. i just thought… i’m just sad it’s happening again. i thought—“

“charles, i’m not teasing you. i’m flirting with you.”

carlos would like to keep the look on charles’ face framed and on his wall. his mouth so pink and pouty, eyes glossy from his emotions but widened from carlos’ clearly stunning words.

“could you really not tell?” carlos asks.

“i thought so, at some moments, but… i second guessed myself.”

“were you not, too? when we met at that press meet and greet?”

“only a little.”

“i thought you were sweet. i liked how you introduced yourself to me, and called yourself a fan of mine.”

carlos manages to replace his hand on charles’ cheek. soft and gentle, just how charles needs to be handled.

“and i liked how you blushed. you’re quite pretty, charles.”

the still air around them slowly swells into a breeze. a fragrance of autumn blows by their faces, through the partly open windows of carlos’ car. it’s quiet, and it’s comforting— it’s them.

“can i kiss you?” carlos whispers.

“please.”

for continuity’s sake, and for his own pleasure, carlos leans in slower than charles thinks he can bear. it’s the same craving he has had for weeks now, and charles is nearly salivating now that he’s about to have a taste.

for a moment, he thinks it might be too much— too sweet, too delicious, too good to handle. for a moment his heart jumps into his throat, and if it weren’t stuck right in his adam’s apple, charles might shout out a weak, half-hearted wait!

instead, carlos catches the tail end of a gasp from charles in his own mouth.

he kisses him, gentle and slow and steady, right on his pink lips. his hand still cupping charles’ face, his fingers teasing his blush up to the surface. carlos kisses charles, once and then twice, the second longer than the first.

and when he pulls away, he sees exactly what he wants to see; his chico rosado, blushing for him, smiling.

“joyeux anniversaire, charles.”

“gracias, carlos.”

“i’ll have more gifts for you later, when the time is right.”

carlos caresses charles’ face, hooking his fingers beneath the younger boy’s chin. he uses the leverage to pull him in closer, and with a teasing haste, carlos kisses charles for the last time that night.

Maximizing Car Value in the Automotive Transportation Industry

While car carrier companies may not have the same level of expertise and equipment as luxury vehicle transporters, they still follow strict safety protocols to ensure your vehicle arrives safely.

They also offer fully insured car carrier service for your auto during transport, providing peace of mind in case of any unforeseen incidents.

Reliable Auto Transport

The best car transport services may have more flexible scheduling options due to the higher volume of shipments they handle. This can be advantageous for customers who have fewer rigid timelines and are looking for the most cost-effective shipping solution.

Additionally, some auto transporters offer discounts for return customers or for shipping multiple vehicles, which can further reduce costs.

Despite being more cost-effective, many reliable car shipping companies still provide customer support throughout the transport process. They understand the importance of communication and aim to keep you informed about your vehicle's status from pickup to delivery.

Factors to Consider

When deciding between luxury and auto transport, there are a few factors to consider. The main one is the value of your vehicle. If you have a luxury vehicle that holds a high monetary or sentimental value, it's worth investing in a luxury vehicle transport service to ensure its safety and protection.

On the other hand, if you have a more affordable vehicle, you may feel comfortable with a more affordable option.

Car Value and Protection Needs

The intrinsic value of your vehicle is not solely about its monetary worth but also its emotional significance to you. For vehicles that are rare, have custom modifications, or are of exceptional sentimental value, choosing a reliable car transport guide that specializes in providing helpful information with cars carrying is advisable.

These services prioritize the safety and security of your vehicle, giving you the assurance that it is treated with the care it deserves.

Additionally, consider the level of protection your vehicle needs during transport.

For instance, luxury cars with custom paint jobs or delicate bodywork may require an enclosed carrier to shield them from road debris and weather conditions.

On the other hand, a standard vehicle with a sturdy build may not need the same level of protection, making an open car carrier a viable and more affordable option.

Distance and Location

Another factor to consider is the distance and location of your transport. If you're transporting your vehicle within the same city or a short distance, the car transporters may be a suitable option. However, if you're moving your vehicle long-distance or across state lines, it's worth considering a nationwide auto transport service for added protection.

For long-distance transport, the risks associated with travel increase. Variables such as weather, road conditions, and the duration of the journey can affect the safety of your vehicle. Luxury transport services often have robust strategies and equipment to mitigate these risks, such as climate-controlled carriers and advanced securing methods.

Timeliness and Convenience

Consider how important timeliness and convenience are for your situation. Luxury transport services often offer expedited shipping options and can accommodate specific scheduling requests, making them a good choice for those who need their vehicle transported on a tight schedule. They can provide exact pickup and delivery dates that align with your requirements.

Auto transport services may operate on a more standardized schedule with less flexibility. This could mean longer wait times for vehicle pickup and delivery.

However, if your schedule is flexible and time is not a pressing issue, the savings from choosing an professional service may outweigh the convenience of expedited shipping.

When it comes to auto transport for luxury vehicles, it's crucial to choose a reputable and experienced company that specializes in handling high-end cars. However, if your budget or vehicle type doesn't require the same level of care, car shipping options are also available.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to the value and needs of your vehicle, as well as your budget. By considering these factors and doing thorough research, you can find the best auto transport option for your luxury vehicle.

Luxury vs. Reliability for City Driving: Tips and Costs for Choosing the Right Car Transport Service

The first thing you need to know is that not all auto transport companies are created equal. Some specialize in luxury vehicle transport, while others focus on more affordable options. It's important to do your research online for a safe direct car shipping reviews to find the best service for your specific needs.

Luxury Vehicle Transport

If you have a luxury vehicle, you want to ensure that it is transported with the utmost care and attention. That's where the nationwide vehicle driveaway service comes in. These companies specialize in high-end vehicles and have the necessary equipment and experience to handle them. They often offer enclosed carriers, which provide extra protection from the elements and road debris. This option may be more expensive, but it's worth the peace of mind knowing that your luxury vehicle is in good hands.

Luxury vehicle transport services often provide personalized customer service to address any concerns you might have. From the moment you inquire about their services to the final delivery of your vehicle, these companies strive to provide a seamless and stress-free experience. They understand the value of your investment and treat your vehicle with the same level of respect that you do.

Another aspect of luxury vehicle transport is the insurance coverage. These companies typically offer more comprehensive insurance policies that cover a wider range of potential damages. This means that in the unlikely event that something does happen to your vehicle during transport, you can rest assured that you will be adequately compensated.

Professional Auto Transport

On the other hand, if you have a more affordable vehicle or are on a budget, you may opt for more open-air car shipping options. These companies typically offer open carriers, which are less expensive but leave your vehicle exposed to the elements. While this may not be a concern for a standard vehicle, it may not be the best option for a luxury car.

However, the best auto transport companies have excellent safety ratings and experienced drivers, so it's important to read reviews and do your research before deciding.

Reliable auto transport options are particularly attractive for those who are moving multiple vehicles at once or for car dealerships that need to transport their inventory. Since cost-effectiveness is a priority, these companies work to optimize their shipping routes and carrier capacity, often resulting in lower prices for the customer.

It's important to note that even with many car transport services, there are still measures in place to protect your vehicle. Many of these companies offer basic insurance coverage and take precautions to secure your vehicle during transport. They may also provide tracking options so you can monitor your vehicle's journey and have peace of mind.

The Process

The process of auto transport is relatively similar for both luxury and affordable options. It starts with obtaining quotes from different companies and comparing prices and services. Once you've selected a company, they will schedule a pickup date and time that works for you. On the day of pickup, the driver will inspect your vehicle and load it onto the carrier.

The carrier will then transport your vehicle to the destination, and upon arrival, the driver will inspect it again and deliver it to you.

Luxury Vehicle Transport

One of the main differences between luxury and reliable auto transport is the level of care and attention given to your vehicle. Luxury vehicle transport companies often have more experienced and trained drivers, as well as specialized equipment for loading and unloading.

They may also offer additional services, such as white-glove delivery, where the driver will personally handle the vehicle and ensure it is delivered in pristine condition.

Luxury transport options may include features like climate-controlled transport for vehicles that require a stable temperature or are sensitive to extreme weather conditions. This is particularly important for classic cars or high-performance vehicles with delicate components. The attention to detail and customization of services can greatly differ from standard shipping options.

Another luxury transport feature is the option for single-car transport, which provides an exclusive carrier for your vehicle. This minimizes handling and potential interaction with other cars, reducing the risk of accidental damage. It's an excellent choice for rare, exotic, or particularly valuable vehicles that demand an added layer of security and privacy during transit.

Ares S1 Project 

When you’re a coach builder best known for your work on luxury and high-performance cars, the next step in your evolution is only natural: Make one of your own. And that’s just what Ares Design is doing with its new supercar concept, the S1 Project.

The Italian company has just unveiled its first original vehicle, a limited-run speedster it claims will churn out more than 700 horses. And this isn’t just some theoretical mock-up. The Modena-based company, which was co-founded by former Lotus CEO Dany Bahar, has built its reputation on elegant coach work, and it shows through in the S1 Project’s curvaceous exterior. The brash vehicle features an all-new design, with a flowing shape that revolves around giant front and rear fenders. In front is a dramatic down-sloping hood that smoothly segues into a spacious cockpit that begins at the front tiers. With the driver’s cabin in a front-forward position, the car almost looks like a rocket ship on wheels.

But while the exterior may be the S1’s standout feature, the car’s technical specs are no less impressive. The S1 will be powered by a naturally aspirated V8 that can rev up to 8,800 rpm and produce a 715 horses. Mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the engine can rocket the car from zero to 62 mph in just 2.7 seconds. While its far from the most powerful supercar out there, the Ares model will bring plenty of grunt to the road. Other technical features include a double wishbone suspension, forged-aluminum axles and adaptive Magnetic Ride Control, all of which promise to give the S1 Project a smoother ride—not a characteristic often associated with supercars. While Ares hasn’t released pricing info for the S1 Project, you can expect it to be steep, especially since the company only intends to build 24 examples of the vehicle.

I write something! I did it! The muse didn't even suddenly abandon me partway through!

Against the Smoke of the City (I Marched)

There is a city called Gotham that doesn't exist, but by god the Daily Planet is going to find it. Or Gotham is so cursed the outside world doesn't even know it's there, but that's nothing in the face of a reporter's curiosity.

Just off I-nine in New Jersey, there is a city that doesn't exist.

Clark knows this because for weeks the Daily Planet has been researching every piece of evidence they could find to prove the city that doesn't exist, did exist.

It started with a piece on the richest companies in the world where the numbers just wouldn't add up. It was Marlene Samson's first big piece, and she was crying when she came to Dean Jones, the Daily Planet's best eye for tax returns and accounting, certain she had to have done something wrong. The rest of the Planet assumed that would be the end of it, extending Marlene their sympathies for running into so many problems on her first big job, but certain it would be solved soon with Dean looking at it.

It was not.

Three weeks later, Dean came in with raccoon eyes, greasy hair, and a four foot pile of files that he had to make Clark help him carry.

Apparently, Marlene didn't do anything wrong, it was just that there was a whole multi-billion dollar company somewhere on the East Coast that existed in government tax data, agreements with other companies, and nowhere else.

It should be noted that even as a company that regularly reported on alien invasions, Superman's love life, and Lex Luthor's newest schemes, this was not the conspiracy the Daily Planet expected to find on an average day.

The crown jewel of Dean's coffee-fueled hallucinogenic research binge was a series of photos of an unfamiliar logo for one Wayne Industries on a variety of products from luxury cars, to prosthetic limbs, to the coffee maker in the office, often covered by a sticker from whatever company didn't want to admit they were reselling the products of a nonexistent corporation. Under each logo was a minuscule maker's mark that said, "Made in New Jersey."

This was about when the whole thing stopped being a personal project and became a company-wide mystery that the Daily Planet was determined to solve.

Diane and Thea were the next to come up with something. They were the history buffs of the group, the ones who wrote about the historical value of such-and-such building or how this event a century ago affected the city today. Real interesting stuff, if a little niche for some of their readers.

"The New Jersey Mystery" it was called.

It was a whole thing for anyone interested in the historical urban development of the New England area. Clark didn't claim to understand it, but Diane said that a large number of historians, amateur and professional, believed that there was something off about the socio-economic development of New Jersey, particularly in the lack of big cities. According to the historical and modern shipping routes, there should have been a harbor city as big as Metropolis in the area, but there just… wasn't. It was, frankly, baffling and mildly concerning to most historians, according to Thea.

It wasn't hard to guess that a missing city and a missing company were more likely than not connected.

Catt Grant was the next to dig something up, finding an old piece from the gossip section about some kind of scandal, written by one Vicki Vale. Dale, the IT guy, managed to find some emails from her time in Metropolis that identified the mystery city as sitting on the Mullica River, next to the Great Bay. Mrs. Vale complained extensively about the swamp land around the city, apparently caused by a dam being built where it shouldn't some fifty years ago, now spread to the entire area. The waters were known to be toxic enough to kill a swimmer, but not dangerous enough for the municipal government to do something.

That was just the beginning of it. Jack found police reports about a mafioso that was to be sent back to New Jersey to be tried with the rest of his group. Stella traced charity funds back to a foundation in the city. Sawyer and Thea managed to make a model of the supposed dam, putting an exact location to the place.

So.

Just off I-nine in New Jersey, there is a city that doesn't exist. They don't know its name, size, or population, just that money comes flowing out, legally and illegally, but people stay in.

And it is Clark and Lois's responsibility to prove that it does exist, and, hopefully, to figure out why it's on no map, spoken by no human tongue, and invisible to satellites and Superman's gaze.

+++

They take a bus first. They'd both prefer to drive themselves, but James Pierceson managed to get an interview that suggested that only people who'd been before could find the city they were looking for. A train was out too, as even if the conductor was a native of the place, it still only had a small chance of passing through the city. That was all James had gotten out of his interview, though. Nothing about the city itself, the company that drew Daily Planet's eyes, nothing. Just how to get in, and a warning to make sure they could still get out afterward.

The bus is their only real option. It's a creaky old thing, grimy in all the wrong ways, but it had the only driver they found that knew where they were going.

Clark stares out the window as they ride, eyes on the road so he knows how to come back if he needs to. He watches as the woods slowly change into swamp land, filled with strange, nasty , brackish water that smells too much like corpses for comfort.

Lois is beside him, typing on her laptop, putting together everything they've found so far, ready for whatever they find in the city. She looks up when she feels him tense against her shoulder, just in time to see the sign as the bus passes.

Turn Back All, nailed to a half-dead tree, rusted red and falling apart.

"Just a little joke folks, the locals aren't fond of tourists so they like to scare 'em off if they can. Just means we're getting close." 

The rest of the bus is seemingly mollified by the bus driver's words, chattering about the fun local custom, but Clark's eyes are on the next sign, peeking out of the foliage on the other side of the bus.

Beware.

The bus goes silent.

Danger.

Leave This Place.

Warning: Death.

They just keep showing up, one after the other even as the sky gets darker with clouds and the rot in the air gets thicker. Some are clearly set up by the city, with neat lines and bright colors. Some are probably made by the citizens, big pieces of wood or metal covered in messy paint. A few are just paint on the trees, dripping like blood.

Go Away.

This Place is Not Safe.

Get Out.

"They might as well have said 'Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here,'" Lois mutters.

Clark snorts, but his eyes stay up. The bus is turning a corner, and a city is finally visible through the thick foliage.

It was tall, is Clark's first thought. There aren't any suburbs of short little houses for the bourgeoisie, no industrial outskirts, just crumbling brutalist architecture and gothic decor right from the entrance.

He can finally hear the city too. He doesn't know why he couldn't before, how it hid from Kryptonian ears, but it echoes in his ears now, gunshots and sirens and screams and whispers. He can't hear anything else on top of the noise, like the rest of the world no longer exists even to Superman's ears. He would have been afraid if his mind had room for it.

The bus is being swallowed, Clark was suddenly sure. The signs were the teeth of the great and terrible city he sees before him and soon they would pass through the maw and enter the place of no return. Soon they would be in the throat and it would convulse and throw them downward and then the city would digest them alive. Whatever was left would not be the same as what entered.

The bus stops at a rickety station just inside the city. The bus driver turns to them as the doors open and his smile is friendly but his eyes are distant and tired.

"Welcome to Gotham," he said. "The most cursed city in America."

"Good luck."

Key Factors Influencing the Cost of Car and Bike Transportation in India

When arranging vehicle transportation, whether it’s for a car or a bike, it’s essential to understand the cost factors involved. If you’re considering a car transport service in Delhi or moving your vehicle to another city, a few key elements can impact pricing. Here are the main aspects to keep in mind:

1. Distance and Location

One of the largest factors in determining cost is the distance between pick-up and delivery locations. Transporting a car within Delhi may be less costly than shipping it interstate or over long distances. Similarly, a car transport service in Gurgaon may offer more competitive pricing for shorter, regional routes compared to cross-country trips.

2. Vehicle Type and Condition

The size and type of your vehicle will also affect transportation costs. Compact cars tend to be more affordable to move than larger SUVs or luxury vehicles, which may require specialized care. Some transport services, especially in high-demand locations like Delhi and Gurgaon, may charge additional fees for handling vintage or luxury cars to ensure they receive extra protection.

3. Mode of Transportation

The choice between open and enclosed carriers is a common one. Open carriers are more economical but expose vehicles to weather and road conditions. For premium or luxury vehicles, opting for an enclosed carrier is advisable, albeit at a higher cost. Services in major cities like Delhi often provide both options, so consider which best meets your needs.

4. Service Type: Door-to-Door vs. Terminal-to-Terminal

Door-to-door transport services are convenient and secure, picking up and delivering the vehicle directly from specific locations. This is usually more costly than terminal-to-terminal transport, where you drop off and pick up the vehicle from designated hubs. In busy cities like Gurgaon, where traffic and logistical challenges may arise, door-to-door options are popular for the convenience they offer.

5. Seasonal Demand and Availability

Pricing can also fluctuate based on seasonal demand. During high-demand periods like the holiday season or summer months, car transport services in India may raise their rates due to increased demand. If you’re scheduling transportation in Delhi or nearby areas, try to plan during off-peak times if possible to avoid surcharges.

6. Insurance and Additional Coverage

To ensure your vehicle’s safety during transit, most transport services include basic insurance. However, if you’re shipping a high-value car, opting for comprehensive coverage is wise, though it may increase costs. Top-tier transport companies operating in cities like Delhi often provide flexible insurance options to cater to different customer needs.

7. Urgency and Delivery Speed

Standard delivery timelines are generally more budget-friendly, but if you need expedited service, be prepared for an increase in price. Urgent requests, especially for a car transport service in Gurgaon or any other major Indian city, often require prioritized handling, leading to a higher rate for quicker delivery.

8. Fuel Costs and Route Toll Charges

Changes in fuel prices and toll fees also play a role in determining transportation rates. Routes that include multiple tolls or fuel stops tend to increase overall costs. If your car or bike is being moved between cities like Delhi and Gurgaon, tolls can accumulate, particularly on longer interstate journeys.

By considering these factors, you can make a well-informed decision when selecting a car transport service in Delhi or any other location. For the best value, always compare quotes and clarify inclusions such as insurance, service type, and delivery speed. With the right service, your vehicle will reach its destination safely and affordably.

When looking for cheap car shipping in Canada, timing is everything. Booking your transport during off-peak seasons can significantly reduce costs. Winter months often see lower demand, making it a perfect time to ship.

Another effective strategy involves comparing quotes from multiple companies. Many auto transporters provide free estimates online, and this simple step can reveal the most affordable options available.

Consider opting for terminal-to-terminal service instead of door-to-door delivery. While it may require a bit more effort, this choice usually offers significant savings.

Also, ask about discounts or promotions. Some carriers offer deals to senior citizens, students, or military personnel that could further lessen expenses.

Be flexible with your pickup and delivery dates. A little wiggle room can lead to better rates and availability while ensuring you secure the best price for transporting your vehicle across the country.

Tips for a Smooth and Stress-Free Shipping Experience

Preparation is vital for a seamless auto transport experience. Start by researching reputable companies that offer cheap car shipping in Canada. Read reviews and check ratings to gauge their reliability.

Communicate clearly with the chosen transporter. Share your expectations and any specific needs you may have regarding timing or vehicle condition. This transparency will help avoid misunderstandings later on.

Before handing over your vehicle, take photos from multiple angles and document its current state to protect yourself against potential damages during transit.

Remove personal belongings from the car. Most transport services discourage this practice for safety reasons. Keeping items out of the vehicle also reduces liability issues.

Stay reachable throughout the process. A quick response can resolve questions or concerns promptly, ensuring everything goes smoothly from pickup to delivery.

Check for Hidden Fees and Insurance Coverage

When exploring options for cheap car shipping in Canada, it's essential to dig deeper into the fine print. Hidden fees can sneak up on you, and look out for charges that may take time to become noticeable.

Additional costs include fuel surcharges, terminal handling fees, or extra payments for door-to-door service. Always ask your carrier about these before committing.

Insurance coverage is another critical aspect to investigate. Some companies offer basic coverage included in their rates, while others might charge extra. Understand what is covered and consider purchasing additional protection if necessary.

Review customer feedback; real experiences often reveal insights about unexpected expenses or claims processes with different transporters. Being informed gives you a clearer picture of what you're truly paying for and helps avoid surprises.

Conclusion

When it comes to cheap car shipping in Canada, being well-informed can lead to significant savings. Understanding the different types of auto transport services available ensures you choose the one that best fits your needs. Look for opportunities to save money by comparing quotes and considering flexible shipping dates.

Thorough preparation is often the key to a smooth experience. Organize your vehicle for shipment, communicate clearly with your chosen transport company, and be aware of any potential hidden costs. Additionally, they review their insurance policies to ensure adequate coverage during transit.

By following these guidelines and staying vigilant about all aspects of the shipping process, you'll position yourself to find affordable auto transport solutions that meet both your budgetary constraints and expectations for service quality. Car shipping doesn't have to break the bank if approached strategically.

Simple Solutions for Car Shipping: Best Services Explained

When it comes to moving your vehicle, finding the best car shipping services can feel overwhelming. Whether you're relocating across the country or buying a car from a different state, ensuring your vehicle reaches its destination safely and on time is crucial. This blog will explore simple solutions and top services available for car shipping, helping you make an informed choice.

Understanding Car Shipping Options

Car shipping services generally fall into two categories: open transport and enclosed transport. Open transport is the most common and economical option, where your vehicle is loaded onto an open carrier along with other cars. This method is ideal for standard vehicles and is often quicker and more affordable. However, it exposes your car to the elements, which can be a concern for luxury or classic vehicles.

Enclosed transport, on the other hand, offers greater protection. Vehicles are loaded into a fully enclosed trailer, shielding them from weather and road debris. This service is typically more expensive but provides peace of mind for those shipping high-value or rare cars.

Researching Car Shipping Companies

Once you’ve decided on the type of transport you need, the next step is to research potential car shipping companies. Start by reading reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Websites like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) can provide insights into a company's reputation and reliability.

Look for companies that are licensed and insured. A reputable car shipping service should have a valid Department of Transportation (DOT) number and carry insurance to cover any potential damages during transit. Always request a quote from multiple companies to compare pricing and services. Be cautious of quotes that seem too good to be true, as they may indicate hidden fees or subpar service.

Getting Your Vehicle Ready for Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping is essential for a smooth process. Before handing over your car, make sure to remove all personal belongings, as most companies do not cover lost items. Check your vehicle for any existing damage and document it with photos. This record will be useful if you need to file a claim later.

It's also advisable to leave only a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle, as a lighter load can save on shipping costs. Disable any alarm systems and ensure that your vehicle is in good working condition; a non-operational vehicle may incur additional fees.

Communication is Key

Once you've selected a car shipping service, maintain open communication with them throughout the process. A reliable company will provide you with a tracking number or regular updates on your vehicle's status. If any delays or issues arise, being proactive and reaching out can help alleviate concerns.

Understanding Costs and Timelines

The cost of car shipping varies based on several factors, including the distance, the type of transport, the vehicle's size and weight, and the time of year. Generally, prices range from $500 to $1,500 for cross-country shipping, with additional costs for enclosed transport.

As for timelines, most shipping services can deliver a vehicle within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the distance. Factors like weather conditions, route, and the number of stops can affect delivery times. Always ask the company for a timeframe estimate to set your expectations.

Customer Support and Claims Process

A great car shipping service will offer excellent customer support. Before you finalize your choice, inquire about their claims process in case of damage during transit. Understanding how to file a claim, what documentation you'll need, and the timeframe for resolution can save you headaches later on.

Conclusion

In summary, when looking for the best car shipping services, consider your needs, do thorough research, and prepare your vehicle properly. With so many options available, you can find a service that meets your budget and requirements. Simple solutions for car shipping are just a few steps away, ensuring your vehicle arrives safely and efficiently at its destination. By following these guidelines, you can navigate the process confidently and enjoy peace of mind, knowing you've chosen the best car shipping services for your needs.
