The garage story
A made-up backstory for a real DGM racer.
Rev Reynolds could make the crew laugh before the garage door opened. The Ford had a quick line for every snag and a wink for every wait.
One day the jokes ran out. A friend stayed anyway. Rev learned that the crew liked the car, not just the act. Now the grin comes with room for an honest rough day.
“I'm a bit rattled today, if I'm honest. You don't have to cheer me up. Stay here while I check the wheels, and I'll be glad of the company.”
