I came for wheel-to-wheel combat and got a choreographed runway show where Saturday crowns the winner and Sunday parades the cars.

The ghosts in McGarvey’s weren’t haunting the bar—they were teaching the living how to remember without breaking.

In McGarvey’s, the jukebox glowed like a field altar, each slot a dog tag on a guitar string, and Marcus realized the living keep the dead in tune.
