Why I’m Building “Eighty Something”
A personal note from a lifelong car guy who refuses to let the past gather dust.
I’ve been collecting cars most of my life. Not for status. Not as investments. But for what they mean.
The sound of a turbo spooling up. The glow of a digital dashboard. The feeling of a machine made not to blend in — but to stand out.
Over the years, I’ve tracked down some of the most iconic 1980s sports cars ever made — each one a piece of analog history, a living sculpture from the last great era of mechanical soul. But lately, I’ve realized something: they weren’t built to sit under covers in my garage.
They were built to move. To be admired. To connect people.
This isn’t solely about cars. It’s about culture.
The 1980s gave us more than wild designs and daring engineering. It gave us community — from car meets to arcades to late-night tape deck drives with friends.
I don’t want to build a warehouse. I want to build a place that brings that spirit back.
That’s why I’m creating Eighty Something — a boutique venue where these cars can finally live in the wild again. Where people can walk through time. Where 80s music plays on real speakers, cabinets light up, and every detail whispers remember this?
Yes, it has to be sustainable. But it also has to be special.
This isn’t about flipping tickets or chasing clout.
Yes, we’ll sell merch. Host events. Book collectors. That’s what keeps the wheels turning.
But the goal isn’t profit — it’s a collective. A culture of people who get it. Who want to preserve not just machines, but meaning.
So if you’re someone who loves 1980s design, analog art, real horsepower, or the magic of a forgotten mixtape — I want you in this.
The cars are ready. Now we just need the place.
If you're reading this, you’re probably one of us. Let’s build a home for these icons — and for the stories they still have to tell.
Let’s build Eighty Something.
Because legends shouldn't live under covers.
