As a GenX kid, these were our escape. Literally and figuratively. We'd just stay out of the house as much as possible.

That GT is sick.

I had a 95 Schwinn predator that I’ll never forgive my dad for backing over with the van.

It was behind the van because he asked me to put it there so he could load it IN the van, I didn’t put it in the van because I listened and knew better than to fuck with his system.

That is not my GT but it is exactly the same year, model and color of the one I had. 1984 GT Mach One.

Creating art to send out a message to the world, and carelessly spelling the words wrong; do we even matter?
