Red Engine Crack [exclusive]ed -

It was a beautiful morning for a drive. The kind where the asphalt feels sticky and the air smells like opportunity. I’d just finished a few upgrades: new injectors, a slightly aggressive tune, and an intake that growled like a hungry animal. The red valve cover gleamed under the hood.
