'seethe from garage' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'some odd calls for riot gear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'calls for' could be 'asks' ('ask' can be a synonym of 'call for') and 'asks' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'making' acts as a link.
