OOC
Who was it who told me about Project Binky? Oh, yes - somebody who goes by "Looney Toons" on All The Tropes.
(It's a 36-episode series (EDIT: so far - the car's still not completely put together yet as of the end of episode 36), and the episodes get longer as the series goes along, so set aside 18 and a half hours if you're going to marathon the first 36 episodes of series.)
The tl;dr: Two chaps are putting a Celica engine and drivetrain in a Mini shell. Yes, it is as crazy an idea as it sounds.
Why mention it here? Well, if I recall correctly, Sora Hasegawa drives a Mini or something else the same size... She doesn't have to be making an overpowered street machine in disguise, but she could be restoring a stock Mini. Until she discusses the project with the gearheads at Westwoods, of course -- then the "overpowered street machine in disguise" starts taking shape. A project this size, even with Washuu-chan rapid-prototyping the structural parts instead of Sora making them out of sheet steel, would explain what she's been doing in her free time while the rest of the characters are having adventures.
Thoughts?
