Highschool wheels
a homage to oldschool muscleccars
When I was kid, the rite of passage was the first car you bought. Wasn’t just a statement of independence but an expression of who you were, this generation can’t wrap their heads around. Home video games were to make an appearance but not really a thing. If we weren’t playing street hockey, football or riding bikes around the neighbourhood we’d be at a friends house watching their dads or older brothers fixing something in the garage.
Ed had this midnight blue 69 Beaumont tore rubber off tires like nobodies business, I remember the amount of smoke in the highschool parking lot while laying down a patch you couldn’t see through except for the faint flicker of the taillights through the fog close to the entrance. That was a badge of honor, hearing people say, “that’s the guy who did that smoke show at lunchtime.”
It was all about the wheels man.
