Butterfly doors. [ eren’s always loved the exaggerated sportiness of a lamborghini or mclaren— but the bmw i8 just hit his favorite spot in terms of looks. lean, agressive, but not too over the top. ]
[Yeah he was too busy being in awe of the car doors that he forgot to actually get INTO the car. He makes a sheepish laugh before sliding into that front seat. So taking a moment to look at the interior features with the same awe]
Haha, okay, getting even more convinced you took this from a movie set.
It’s been calling me ever since I got the insurance money back from the other one. A few more months and I had enough.
[ eren laughs as he slips over into the passenger seat. the car’s got a button to turn on rather than a key ignition, so all he had to do was have the key close by. automatic or manual option, albeit the latter is located behind the steering wheel as a clicker for the fingers. like formula one. default is on automatic, though! ]
Heheh, I'm impressed your insurance covered titans. Remind me to get your plan.
[Since man that thing must cover everything. He gets his seatbelt on and looks at the wheel area. Whoa it looks a little different from the cars hes driven. ]
Yeah, alright. Just gimme a moment...does this button turn it on? [POINTING AT THE IGNITION BUTTON] Where's the key?
[ sLY SHRUG. he lets matt handle the legal issues and all goes well 99% of the time. eren nods and gestures for him to do the honors, and since elliot probably had the key to unlock it earlier— ]
You can just stick that in here. You don’t need it for ignition.
[ eren’s just smiling here as he looks across the car’s display screen and plays touch and scroll— maybe fix the air conditioning to just right, out on some music . . . ]
[ he guides elliot’s hand to the steering wheel, and a touch behind them, he’ll see a paddle shifter for the fingers. he also presses the “sport” button somewhere on the dashboard. ]
I like manual for this— You use paddle shifters here instead of the gear stick. Click them forward and back to change gears.
[ as for what sport mode really is, well!! ]
You’re gonna have to start driving to tell the difference.
[But he lets Eren guide his fingers, helping him get a feel for the car. Okay, he feels that paddle shifter. He's used stuff like this before]
Okay, that sounds fine. We'll try sports mode then.
[With that said, he'll get the car out of park finally and pull out, checking over his shoulder like a good responsible driver. Once they're out of the spot, it's time to hit the road!]

But that's nothing compared to when he listens and opens the door, which rises up. He gasps and steps back]
Whoa!

[JUST MOVIE AND SHOWROOM CARS!!]

Oh! It really worked!

Do you want automatic or sport mode?
