Hello ya'all! I'm here to pitch the pilot for Trails. Down below you can find the information about the show if you're not familiar with that.

The series follows Trails, a Volkswagen Beetle, and Courtney, the youngest member of the Fortune family. Trails is put in David’s, Courtney’s father, garage after not being useful. Courtney got Trails after getting her drivers license, but that was before she knew that he was way more than not useful. After getting the car she found an unopened envelope inside Trails that said: "Please take care of him. Whatever your problem, he'll help you find the answer." After once being something that could be destroyed, Trails was way better looking now after he got a heavy makeover. However, after Trails takes Courtney against her will to the garage where her boyfriend Wyatt works as a mechanic, she stumbled across the thought of selling him or not. How will Courtney deal with a car that has its own mind?

The thing is that I would like to add a big plot twist to the series. It will become boring if this is everything she does just living her normal life with a car. That's why I'm adding racing into the picture. As it says, Rae has an interest in racing too, not just Courtney. The series will also focus on Courtney's development and sometime she will possibly race in a NASCAR race (with her brother maybe?)

Now for the pilot. There's a scene in the pilot where Courtney is sitting in her bed when she notices a picture of her old grandfather inside a special necklace she got of him before he died (not decided how yet). After seeing that, she quickly decides that she wants to be like him and decides to start with racing. She wants to be just as good as him.

So the pilot will be about introducing and getting to know the characters. Here is the plot for

The series follows Trails, a Volkswagen Beetle, and Courtney Fortune, the youngest member in the Fortune family. Trails is put in the garage after not being useful, and Courtney's father, David Fortune, decides to give her Trails as a present for getting her drivers license. After starting Trails' engine, he taker her against her will to the garage where her boyfriend Wyatt works as a mechanic. They have a chat and then she leaves again. This time, she drives to the mall to see her best friend Kelly. She encourages her to start with racing professionally after hearing what Courtney wants to. She now decides to take her dream into action. She goes to see a racing specialist to her what he has to say and what he can learn her. Later as time goes on, he decides to become her "manager" and help her. This guy will be a reccuring character and casted if the series is picked up. In the end, she is driving on a speedway (just testing, not in a race), but there it goes terribly wrong.

I'm not completely sure on the ending, I might change it though. What do you guys think? :)
