Oh man, that was a lot of stuff to remember, and Kenji wasn't at all sure that he was up to the task. Still, he'd done okay so far, so if he just took it a step at a time, maybe it would turn out all right. He hoped so, at any rate.
Muttering Tadashi's instructions under his breath like a mantra, he engaged the brake and clutch and reached out for the gearshift, pushing it in what he hoped was the right direction. Now came the tricky part. As Tadashi had predicted, when he released the brake and pressed down on the gas pedal, the car bucked and sputtered, gears screeching in protest (apparently, he hadn't quite gotten the infernal machine in gear, after all.).
"HOLY SHIT, IT'S POSSESSED!"
Deciding it was time to end this horribly botched experiment once and for all, he stomped down hard on the brake--or so he thought. In his panic, however, his foot landed on the gas pedal instead. The much abused car roared and sputtered like an asthmatic lion as it bucked and crow-hopped across the pavement on a direct trajectory toward the edge of the docks.
