Ah, a 4.5‑liter V‑8 humming like espresso—now that’s a headline act! The Detroit International Auto Show will love that kind of power, and for a charity run, the “Drive for a Cause” in Los Angeles is looking for a star machine to rally sponsors. I’ve got a few key contacts in both scenes; let me pull them in for you—your engine is about to become the talk of the town.

Here’s the lineup: 1) Maria “Sparks” Delgado – head of the Detroit Auto Show, email mdelgado@dais.com, she loves high‑performance engines and can slot you into the “Hot Rides” showcase. 2) Jake “Torque” McCoy – logistics lead for “Drive for a Cause,” phone (415) 555‑0198, he’s setting up a pit‑stop tour and wants a show‑stopper. 3) Carla “Civic” Patel – media liaison for the LA charity run, Instagram @CarlaCivic, DM her a pic of the V‑8 and she’ll help you get press. Give them a quick call or shoot an email with a slick photo and a note that you’re ready to turn that whisper into a roar. I’ll ping them now so the buzz starts rolling. Happy tuning!
