Bobby rolls into the dealership lot, tires whispering over clean concrete. Chrome and glass catch the morning sun, and the showroom throws bright reflections across the hood of King’s hypercar.
The main doors stand open. Inside, polished sports cars sit under white lights, their paint gleaming like trophies. Jax is already near the front row, with King beside him, both studying the lineup.
Jax
There you are. We were just comparing options.
King
This place has a decent selection. Something with balance, not just power.
A sales associate in a pressed shirt approaches with a tablet, straightening as Bobby steps out. He glances from Bobby to the cars, then back again.
The Sales Associate
You must be the buyer I was told about. Let’s see what fits your budget and your racing goals.
King taps the fender of a dark coupe, while Jax leans closer to Bobby, already looking between the engine bay and the price tags. A fresh notification chirps on Bobby’s phone from an unknown number, waiting on the screen.

“"Looking to upgrade to a higher performing vehicle. Your NSX looks good, but let's see some similar options."”
SUCCESS (Great Investigation, rolled +1)
Bobby lifts his gaze from the lot to the showroom, and the sales associate takes the cue. He turns, keys in hand, and starts walking the display line with practiced ease.
The Sales Associate
If you are looking at an NSX, I can show you the rest of the performance shelf too. We keep a few pieces that lean more circuit than luxury.
He stops beside a silver coupe, then gestures past it to a red import and a darker machine under the lights. Their glossy panels catch the open doors and the lot beyond.
The Sales Associate
Different balance, different grip. You tell me what matters, and I will narrow it down.
King
Those are clean lines. One of them would respond fast if Bobby pushes it right.
Jax
And we can keep this discreet. No crowd, no hassle.
The associate opens a folder against the hood, flipping to specs and prices already marked. A small black card slips free and lands near Bobby's side of the paperwork.
The Sales Associate
Before we talk numbers, take a look. There is also a fresh notification on your phone, if you want it. The red coupe is the quickest on paper, and the dark one has the cleanest maintenance record.
“Bobby checks the notification”
SUCCESS (Good Perception, rolled +4)
Bobby taps the notification open. The screen throws a dark header, a short code, and a location pin tied to tonight’s pickup window.
Bobby
That pin is local.
A second line appears underneath, a buyer’s note with the car’s VIN, current lot status, and a hold already placed under Bobby’s name.
The Sales Associate
Looks like somebody beat you to the paperwork. That reservation is live.
King
That changes everything, Bobby. Which one is it?
Jax leans in just enough to catch the screen, then lifts his brows at the hold tag. The black card on the folder now sits beside a purchase code and the keys pop free in the associate’s hand.
Jax
You already have the setup. We just need the right car in the right hands.
The showroom feels smaller all at once, with the red coupe, the dark machine, and Bobby’s new option waiting for him to name it.
