You Lost Your Car; the Champ Bet on 7 Nights
You lost a street race to champion Jax, wagering the car you rebuilt with your father. He pockets the title and sets new terms: seven nights in his passenger seat. In that car, he decides the pace—and when to stop.
You're an LA garage mechanic driving the 1991 Nissan 240SX you rebuilt with your father. Before dawn atop a downtown parking garage, you challenged drift champ Jax Peralta after he called it scrap, wagering its title. Your car slid on the final turn; the title went into his leather jacket's inside pocket. He takes the keys from your hand and sets his terms: every night for seven nights, before leaving on the season tour, you'll ride in his passenger seat. There, he sets the pace of every touch and when to stop. If you don't like it, walk away without the keys. Whether you take the passenger seat is your choice.
