Bonnie Tallulah Stratton

 

 

On the third of February 1990, Bonnie Tallulah Stratton was born in the UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. This wasn’t the families place of residence, more so where they happened to be at the time. She grew up in Talladega, about fifty miles east of her birth place. She was lucky enough to be born into quite a wealthy family, her father a retired navy serviceman who now ran a large plumbing and gas company and her mother a Choctaw native with a PhD in medicine. Bonnie is the eldest sister to four younger brothers. 

 

If there is one thing Americans know Talladega for, it’s motorsport. Located in the far north of the county, Talladega Superspeedway is host to multiple NASCAR events throughout the year and is the longest NASCAR oval track. Bonnie’s love for the cars started as a preschooler, when her dad took her along with the family to watch an event there. This started a long family ritual of the family taking trips to the speedway to watch the racing. Bonnie loved everything about it. She loved the speed, the sound, the smell. She fell in love with automobiles and automobile racing. 

 

Given she lived in the heart of southern USA, her culture and the religious beliefs her mother taught her often made her different from the rest of the people in school. Due to this she learned to suppress her own thoughts and beliefs pretty quickly around the predominantly white and Christian children. She didn’t abandon her culture, but she didn’t really show or talk about it. By doing this she managed to at the very least fit in as a normal kid. By high school it wasn’t really obvious Bonnie was a native American unless she told you, though the signs were still there. She was pretty average when it came to schoolwork, her strongest subjects being mathematics, physical education, and metalworking. In terms of sport Bonnie really found an element of her own. She came out of high school as a stellar swimmer with a small array of medals hanging on her wall. She was also keen when it came to tennis, though nowhere near competitive as watersport. Her aquatic sporting achievement proved appropriate enough for her to be offered scholarships, not that this was really required due to her family wealth. 

 

Practically as soon as she could, Bonnie got her driver's permit. Her parents said they’d buy her a car when she was eighteen but she didn’t want to wait that long. Her father bought her a dark blue Albany Primo as her first car, igniting her love for Albany above all other automotive manufacturers. Bonnie absolutely loved this car however sadly it met its demise a few years later when she pulled up at a set of lights and got rear ended by an SUV that failed to stop. Bonnie was shaken but unharmed, and she had friends following at the time who were able to help her. Bonnie was devastated that she’d lost the car she’d poured heart and and soul into but for her eighteenth birthday she got a gift that meant the world to her. Bonnie’s father had bought a new workhorse to replace his aging Bobcat, which he bought brand new in the 1980s. It sported a factory V8 with a four speed column shifter, and a wide body with duallys on the rear. Bonnie got given the keys to the truck, which she had learned to drive in. It was by no means a bad truck but was in desperate need of some TLC. Bonnie cleaned it up and proceeded to daily it for years to come. Upon buying a new truck Bonnie handed the truck down to one of her brothers and to this day the truck remains a family heirloom of sorts.

 

Upon graduating high school Bonnie enrolled for an engineering degree at the University of Alabama, majoring in mechanical engineering. Bonnie moved to Tuscaloosa to fulfill her mother’s dreams and be on campus for her studies. What started as full time study was soon changed to part time study as Bonnie chose to gain real world work experience while studying. While in high school Bonnie had already gained some experience working for Atomic Tires as a technician on work experience and she loved it. Studying was great, but she wanted something more hands on. Her mother would’ve been devastated if she dropped her studies so Bonnie switched to part time study and in the meantime picked up more work experience. This time she approached Vapid and was started as a service technician at one of their workshops. The atmosphere was a lot more demanding than Atomic Tires, and offered a totally different experience. Bonnie learned the ways of a professional automotive workspace thanks to one of America’s largest vehicle manufacturers, and drove her to work harder on not only her degree, but her skill set within the workplace.

 

College offered Bonnie a totally different experience to what she’d previously experienced. She was independent from her parents and responsible for herself. It was a learning curve for Bonnie but with it came new experiences and new opportunities in life, as well as befriending like minded individuals. She devoted some time to her studies, and some time to working, and whatever was left was devoted towards representing the institute in aquatic sports. Bonnie’s life proved quite busy and at times she found herself burnt out, however she carried on with the mindset that it’d all pay off in due time, not to mention that if she were to quit now she’d not only disappoint her parents, she’d also disappoint herself. During this time she also realized that her family, her religion, and her background didn’t define who she was as a person. She determined who she was!

 

By the time Bonnie graduated from college she had learned not only the ins and outs of creating moving parts, she also knew how to service and repair them in an automotive application especially. Bonnie’s first post graduate job was working for a company that designed and built custom fabricated auto parts for autosport applications, as well as for vehicles with a limited amount of replaceable parts available in the modern day. Her official title was no longer a technician, she was a fully fledged automotive engineer who was tasked with the development of new parts, and the modification of existing parts. Somehow she’d managed to fulfil both of her parents dreams. She graduated from college to please her mother, and she had been a hard working American since her first placement for work experience which brought a smile to her father’s face. There was something that didn’t quite sit right with Bonnie though. Her job was great. It was an area she was interested in and she had a high salary, even for starting. On the downside though the job was extremely difficult and often left Bonnie feeling exasperated and braindead at the end of the day, not to mention the constant stress from such a demanding job. Bonnie sought new opportunities but sadly due to her job being so specialized she couldn’t find anything similar in Alabama. 

 

Bonnie initially moved to San Andreas with the intention of being a process engineering specialist for Vapid. Sadly this opportunity was short lived as a more qualified engineer took the position off of her. Bonnie had the opportunity to move back to Alabama while she worked out what path she were to take, however felt that though it was her home, the state didn’t hold much for her, and thus she stayed in San Andreas. Situated in Los Santos, Bonnie picked up a part time job as an engineer at Hudspeth Motorsports, a workshop in Burton, Vinewood. She worked this job until the shop was sold off, and all employees were made redundant. 

Once again Bonnie was left jobless and floated around shops in the meantime. Around this time she met someone that’d become a pivotal person in her life. James Wilson was employed with the Los Santos Police Department and the two initially met as friends when Bonnie complimented his Ellie, and made discussion out of their southern twangs. What started as a friendship quickly turned into a steady relationship when Bonnie officially moved in with James.

 

Bonnie had been working at Parkway Customs, a short drive from her current residence in Vespucci. She wasn’t too happy with these owners too either but got a pretty free reign as manager. Bonnie figured out that if she ran her own shop she could surpass her previous income as a fully fledged engineer. By luck Bonnie caught wind that the building that once was Hudspeth had come up for lease. Bonnie made it happen and got the contract. She moved her business there as Octane Automotive, a clean slate in her own personal shop. With a focus on quality over quantity Bonnie assembled a small team of automotive technicians who share the idea of providing exceptional service over anything else. On February the 2nd, 2019, one day before Bonnie’s 29th birthday, James proposed to Bonnie after attending the LSPD formal at The Vault. Bonnie said yes and for months the two failed to plan a wedding. James was busy with his job within the LSPD, and Bonnie was busy managing her business. Towards the end of 2019 James and Bonnie went their separate ways, leaving both heartbroken and lost in life. 

 

Since James has left her, Bonnie has become a very different woman indeed. While she’s still fundamentally the same person she’s gained a much stronger relationship with her collection of cars, favoring them over any person.
