Dante was hard at work in the garage. He loved his car and makes a point of keeping her in good shape. Therefore, he works on it every chance he gets. Of course, unknown to anyone, Dante also named his car which explains the strong bond that he has with it. Dante named his car Lexi, but he nicknamed it Shady Lady. As he came out from underneath The Gov'ner, Dante hears the sound of two cars pulling up. One of them was the Cobalt Racer, but the other was a completely different car that Dante had never seen before. The other car was a silver muscle car with black stripes on the hood, a large red stripe along the sides, red tinted windows and a large 'Hot Wheels' mark on the doors.

Braedey and Jasmine got out of the Cobalt Racer and stood outside the garage.

"Good morning Dante. Workin' on your car?" Braedey said.

"Yes. Gotta keep Lexi in tip top shape." Dante answered.

Braedey and Jasmine seemed to be confused.

"Who's Lexi?" Jasmine asked.

"You're lookin' at her. Lexi is the name that I have given my lovely car here. And I also nicknamed her 'Shady Lady'. She's a beauty with a shady and mysterious personality, just like the man who drives her." Dante answered.

"The old bond between man and machine. I get it." Braedey said.

Dante turned his attention to the silver muscle car sitting next to the Cobalt Racer.

"By the way, what kind of car is that? And who does it belong to?" He asked.

At that very moment, the drivers side door on the silver car opened, and Kou Leifoh climbed out of it. Dante was shocked to say the least.

"I didn't know you had such good taste in cars, Kou." He said.

"Indeed I do. This is the Muscle Tone. It has a 7.6L twin-turbo HEMI V8 engine producing 2,000 horsepower, an eight-speed sequential gearbox, and all-wheel drive. She's even got a few gadgets." Koi replied.

"Really? What kind of cool gadgets does this baby have?" Braedey asked.

"She has a turbo-boosting system that launches the car up to 40 feet into the air, enabling me to fly over other cars and overtake them. The taillights have a built-in oilslick. But the headlights have a pair of plasma turrets that can make short work of an armored tank." Kou answered.

Dante smirked.

"Now that's cool. I can't wait to see what she can do on the track." He said.

A little later, Dante joined the others at the virtual track. He noticed that Madelyn had a new car. It looked like a futuristic Pontiac GTO. It was painted satin black with a red base, gold interior, blue tinted windows and a Hot Wheels race design on the top and sides. The Hot Wheels mark was colored in red, yellow, and blue.
