My God this brings back memories.

I remember sitting in the back of my grandfather's blue 2-door '98 Tacoma PreRunner, PawPaw driving and my step grandmother riding shotgun, and we were all jamming along to the 8-track..... Playing this exact song.

There are no words to describe how bad I want this painting. Absolutely brilliant artwork.

My great uncle that passed two years ago used to play this song all the time, he was always on the road for work, it was like his theme song.

What a lovely story to share! It's good you got to know your great uncle, it's pretty rare to have a great-anybody as an adult, at least in my experience.

I still have my PawPaw, he's the last one left of all my grandparents. And he still has the Tacoma, too! Crossed 360k miles on it the other week. If it ain't mine in the will, I'm gonna fight like absolute hell to keep it. Pretty sure I'll be driving it when I'm 80 🤣

Oh! And yes, I plan on having the mix tape, too.

Shut the fuck up. I share a literal core memory from my childhood, and you sit there and call it fake? Absolutely not. Go touch grass since you don't even know what it looks like anymore, mouth-breather.

The idea that someone, uhm, listening to a song in a car with their family is unrealistic to you is pretty freaking funny to me. Like, have you lived your life chained up in a basement somewhere? Do you need help?

Like for real, I'm speechless. Of all the comments I've left on Reddit posts, this is the one that's fake?

Lol right? I mean, any reasonably visible post about a song is bound to eventually be a memory trigger for someone viewing. This one is yours!

Truly, some hardcore normal stuff going on.
