Your Character
When you first meet Toby, he is working on a car in the Garage. You can tell he is excited about all kinds of cars, and later when you join the crew, he gives you a car that he has been working on. After you pass your driver's license exam, you drive most of them (minus Logan and Teppei) out to celebrate and he has you stop at a paint shop, thinking you should paint your car red. If you decide not to paint it at all, he says it's good to keep it basic white and unnoticeable. In Chapter 11, he tells you that he did not know about your father like Teppei and Logan did, and he hopes you won't be mad at him.

Teppei Kaneko
He has been working for Teppei for two years. In Chapter 12, he tells you that he bugged Teppei's office and overheard (half of) the plan. Later, you find out that he was the only member of the crew that hadn't been informed of the plan after the fact.

Ximena
If you choose to sit in the car together with Colt, Ximena and Toby in Chapter 5, you will overhear how they are engaged in a lively discussion about whether or not it's technically possible for a car to perform the stunts seen in the movie you are watching. In Chapter 8, he wants Ximena to give him a tattoo of Princess Peach and Samus Aran driving off a cliff in a convertible like Thelma and Louise; he provides her a sketch of it.

Trivia

 * He has written a screenplay for a sequel to the movie you watch together in Chapter 5. It features the same cast, grown old, getting together for a last job. He calls it High Octane-genarians.


 * In Chapter 10, he goes to dance with a guy who keeps staring at him, confirming he either isn't straight or bisexual.


 * He named his car Laurie.
