Chapter One: The Idling
They say she has been in the pickup line since the Tuesday that time forgot. Engine warm. Playlist curated. One hand on the wheel, one hand holding a granola bar hostage until the homework is confirmed done.

Dom's Mom's Minivan Grand Prix
The suburbs are closing in. The sliding door is jammed. Soccer practice started eleven minutes ago. Only one woman can thread this traffic with a juice box in the cupholder and destiny in the rear-view: Mom.

The Grand Prix
Three lanes. Infinite road. Zero chill. Grab the good stuff, swerve the bad stuff, and whatever you do — do not make eye contact with the cones.

The Legend of Mom
Chapter Two: The Gauntlet
Potholes bloom overnight like aggressive flowers. Cones migrate in packs. And Dom — sweet, forgetful Dom — generates excuses faster than the van can burn gas. Mom does not flinch. Mom reverses with purpose.
Chapter Three: The Turbo
Collect enough odd socks and the minivan unlocks a power no mechanic can explain: pure, radiant carpool momentum. For a few glorious seconds, the speed limit is a suggestion and the suggestion is "faster."

Frequently Anxious Questions
Is this a real racing league?
No. It is a very fake racing league held entirely inside your browser and your heart. No actual minivans were revved in the making of this game.
Who is Dom?
A completely fictional kid who means well but has, at last count, forgotten his cleats, his lunch, his water bottle, and the entire concept of "early."
Why do my scores save but my dignity doesn't?
Your high score lives in this device's local storage. If storage is unavailable, the game shrugs politely and keeps running — your streak just won't persist.
The sound startled me in a quiet room.
Sound is off until you say otherwise, and there's a mute button right on the dashboard. We respect libraries, naps, and sneaky late-night sessions.
I turned on reduced motion. Will the game explode?
The opposite. It calms the flashing, dials back the shake, and keeps things gentle while remaining fully playable.
