Street racing idea

Did a quick beatsheet for this on 4chan. might as well keep it because it has potential. I'll edit it later for a inktip pitch.
-Teenaged gear head, works at a shop for a low wage, lives with mom and dad who both barely slip by, drives a shitty civic and he's too embarrassed to race it. He has some gearhead friends who don't race and are specifically enthusiasts and a girlfriend who he is having a baby with.
-Dad dies and teenager inherits dads weekend car(Insert somewhat expensive tuner here, NSX??)
-while cruising along one day he gets in a race with a gang member, teenager wins and the gang member asks if he races elsewhere. He then invites him to a race in a construction site.
-Teenager races and wins like a mutherfucker. Gang member almost pay up but cops interupt, everyone scatters.
-Next day teenager goes to gang member to see about the winnings, nearly gets his ass shot by other gang members, the one he races stops the violence and gives him the race and ask if he would like to work for their garage. Teenager accepts and starts working for their hardcore illegally owned and operated garage where they chop cars and rice out everything from crx's to bentley's.
-Teenager starts to ignore his new born baby, his friends, and his mom. Eventually ends up living with the gangsters. He continues to race and win like a champ, he gets a reputation for being an asshole driver so a rival gang racer starts to tail him after his work and while on the highway, purposely crashes into him and tells him to leave town.
-teenager gets scared and tells gangsters what happen, they light the rival gangster racers car on fire as payback.
-Teenager gets a new better tuner(gt-r?) But it's stolen. Teenager ends up getting pulled over and arrested.
-Teenager is given an ultimatum with police, be a rat or do time. Teenager decides to do time. Goes to jail for a year, girlfriend leaves him, friends abandon him, mother gives up on him.
-Once released he goes back to the gang to continue racing. He races like shit and blames it on the fact that he should lay low. The gangsters get suspicious that he might have ratted so they test him by driving with him into oncoming traffic. He says he doesn't wanna get caught again, but he doesn't wanna give up the street racing ways. The gangsters give him some time on the track and he gets progressively better. He then goes back to racing and wins.
-police break into his house again and confiscate his car and bargain with him and open his eyes that the gangster life isn't for him. He tells the cops to leave and that they don't have anything on him.
-The next day the teenager goes to his girlfriend and asks if he gave up everything would he take him back, she is unsure, but his friends tell him that it's the best idea to get out of the gangster world.
-That night he goes on a mission as a driver with the gangster leader, while on the mission the teenager finds out that he is going to get assassinated because of police suspicion and that he might be a rat. The teenager gets in a chase with the gangsters, in the end he kills the main gangster but gets shot himself.
-After all of the legal stuff is out of the way and the wound has healed the teenager goes back to being a grease monkey, driving his shitty honda and loving his wife and mother.

Low Level(characters)

I randomly started writing this script because I wanted to put a bunch of awesome long takes in one movie, so the first two scenes are like 3 pages long each and both feature epicnessity. I might aswell do a beat sheet or something because this seems like a really wacky and cool idea.

CHARACTERS
Tom Wilson-A modern samurai who also deals with explosives and is a talented driver. He prefers surviving off nature instead of living as part of society. He kidnapped Angelina after years of being in love with her, he is going to die to protect her. Tom used to be a body guard for Oniks, but he's turned sides.
ONIKS-This is the main bad guy, he's a ruthless not giving a fuck kingpin drug dealer. He's looking for Kevin who he was told kidnapped his daughter. If someone calls him by his first name he snaps. He was also taking advantage of his daughter for his own profit after she became a talented musician and artist.
Kevin-another of the bad guys. He was setup by Tom because he tried to rape Angelina when she was younger. Kevin is a drug grower with two adopted incredibly violent kids. He's an incredibly thin lazy hippy.
Angelina-A very talented artist and musician who wanted to get away from it all, she's loved Tom for a very long time and wants to live with him forever. Her father is very abusive to her and Kevin once tried to rape her but Tom saved him.
Xander Conners-Adopted son of Kevin. He's an ecentric trigger happy uber insane russian. He and his brother were both bodyguards with Tom. They took a massive amount of money to help Tom steal a painting from Oniks. He has a sweat spot for cats and he spends money like a rock star.
Sir Oliver-Brother of Xander and adopted son of Kevin. He's just as trigger happy as his brother but he prefers making his victims suffer instead of his brothers rash decisions. He's the brighter of the two, although they are both incredibly stupid and terrible destructive.

These are the main characters so far.. I'm tired so I'll leave it on that and contemplate this idea further. But the simple premise is that Oniks is on the desperate search for Sir Oliver and Xander who he was told kidnapped his daughter, but to find them he must find Kevin, after finding all of them together he kills Kevin then teams up with Xander and Sir Oliver to find Tom and kill him and save Angelina, but what Oniks is really after is an incredibly expensive painting she made.

-Oniks goes to a greasy hotel and tries to find out where Kevin is by asking his crackhead wife. The wife refuses to answer and oniks kills her and drives off.
-Tom and Angelina are settling into their new surroundings, a massive log cabin. Tom destroys all of the electronics and slices a large painting made by angelina. Tom guarantees her safety and tells her she can live without having to worry about her father or the world hassling her. She is happy to be an artist without boundaries.
-Xander and Oliver are crashing their vehicles on a farm. They clearly have a large amount of money and they aren't shy with spending it. Kevin is inside the house and he is having sex with a large amount of women, they're living the dream life.
-Oniks goes back to his mansion and rests. The next morning he packs up a suitcase and lights the house on fire. He goes to his accountants house, Travis. A somewhat honest banker who handles Oniks financial investments. Travis has a wife and kids who are currently away. Oniks explains the situation, that he sold a very valuable painting and the money along with the painting were stolen along with his daughter. Oniks has decided to claim the insurance on his house in order to make up the money. Travis settles him down and makes him realize that he will probably be investigated by the IRA because he doesn't do his taxes because he's a gangster. Oniks then goes on a rampage and ends up leaving the house in a fit of fury, but before he does he tells Travis to track down Kevin. Travis tells Oniks that he should try searching the streets, since Kevin is a pretty candid drug and prostitute client.
-Oniks goes to the street, he sees Kevin picking up a prostitute and tails him. But while tailing him Oniks is cut off by a women on her phone. Pissed off, Oniks kills the women and crashes into her car. Kevin gets spooked and runs away. Oniks freaks out and takes the dead women out of the car and beats her violently.
-Tom and Angelina discuss there future while picking vegetables from the garden. Eventually Angelina starts to realize that she does not have some of the liberties she once enjoyed, like seeing her friends, and letting the world seeing her paintings. But she continues to love Tom for his grace and wisdom and saving her from her tyrant father.
(TO BE CONTINUED) This is gettin pretty wacky I must say

Stick puck

I'm gonna put it on paper once and for all. And by paper i mean the internet.
Teams I cheer for(In order)
Rangers-Been a fan since I started paying attention to hockey in 99.
Jets-My dad's old favorite team. Really glad to have a prairie team
Canucks-Mostly because I live in Vancouver
Bruins-Bourque is one of my favourite players, same with Savard. Really upset he didn't get to hoist a cup.

Teams that I appreciate(In order of apreciation)
Carolina-I was a bandwagoner when they made that 02 cup run. Paid close attention to them since.
Toronto-an original 6 team that I think is making a comeback.
Montreal-A constant contender forever.
Edmonton-From edmonton, also a huge messier and hemsky fan.
Aneheim-They have a lot of power for a young hockey team. Definitely the best teams at scouting and drafting.
LA-They've been in the league for a long time and I think they have finally created a team capable of getting to the cup.
Sharks-Ever since that game last year where Boyle scored on his own net I've been watching them. i like Pavelski and I've always thought nabakov was overrated. I knew heatley or marleau was going to be gone after the playoffs. Havlat probably isn't the best replacement with his history of injuries.
St.Louis-I feel bad for the Blues. 40 some odd years and they have done fuck all. Had a lot of power when they won that president trophy. and the oates-hull line will forever be remembered.
Minesota-I hate Colorado. And It was godly when they got kicked out by these cats. I respect these guys because the fans are 100% with the team through thickness and thin. Heatley will do great things with them
Teams I could care less about
Capitals-I do like Ovechkin for his talent, but this team seriously lacks depth.
Columbus-Glad to see Nash with a good linemate, but they will still suck.
Ottawa-Shit fans are shit. Had a stellar team in the 2000's, but now they got a long way to go to rebuild.
Florida-Why does this team exist?
Phoenix-Doan is awesome, but besides that they should relocate...
Dallas-I think that lethonen signing last year was great. Same with souray this season. I think he's gonna redeem himself with michalek.
Nashville-Great defensive team makes for boring ass hockey.
Tampa-Too many stars for one team, if Richards signed with them, they would be in the hate section.
Buffalo-I think they've been a cup contending team for the last 15 years with no outstanding talent. I think a lot of it comes from the fans and coaches. I think they're gonna get a cup within the next 10 years.

FUCK THESE GUYS
New Jersey-Boring to watch, fuck brodeur, fuck kovalchuk. Only awesome things to come from the devils is Scott Stevens and his kill shots.
Phillie-Bryzgalov will probably fail along with Jagr. Never liked these fucks, except for pronger and Briere, both are playoff heros.
Pittsburgh-Shit fans are shit. how can a team with so many star players in it's past be so up and down with attendance? Crosby is a bitch aswell. Malkin could be a franchise player for any other team, but nop.
Chicago-Insignificant for like 20 years. And painful van-chi rivalries are always annoying.
NYI-Pansy assholes with terribad management. Even with all this young talent they're still a lemon.
Detroit-I mostly hate them because they've been such a good team for such a long time with no major dips in consistency. It's fearful to see them in the playoffs.
Colorado-Laughable last season, trading their most significant players away for nothing the not signing fleishcmann.. Varlamov and giguire might do well for them though. But they'll still miss the playoffs.
Calgary-I like Kipper and Iggy, but I don't think either of them will get a well rounded team together for a long long time... Fuck em.
