The Motor City Record

You brought up Detroit, and a consummate professional never forgets the grit of the Motor City. Looking through our road campaign archives on the lower shelf of the living room media console, I spotted a commemorative silver automotive emblem pin left resting face-down beside a vintage matchbook. I stepped forward with purposeful footwork, planted my boots against the dark walnut grain, and gripped the raised chrome border with both hands. With disciplined athletic leverage, I tilted the heavy metal insignia upright against the matchbook spine, letting Detroit’s storied industrial badge catch the crisp lamplight. Whether contending in Atlanta or grinding on the road in Detroit, our standard of excellence never yields an inch.
