BACK TO 1984 — The America of Our Youth // 80s Vaporwave • Chillwave • Synthwave Mix

Roll down the windows, turn up the cassette player, and let the summer breeze hit you. We are slipping back in time, sitting behind the wheel on a lazy, sun-soaked afternoon in Austin, Texas.

Right in front of us sits a brand-new 1980 Chevrolet Citation Hatchback (Texas plates: VFA-984). As Chevy's very first front-wheel-drive car, this futuristic little hatchback was built to save fuel and rescue Detroit from a changing world. In this exact moment, it’s not a classic, it’s the cutting edge of the American dream, freshly driven off the dealership lot.

Look around. This is the ultimate, unedited landscape of our youth. The highway is lined with the comforting neon glow of a vintage Texaco, a bustling Safeway supermarket, the golden arches of McDonald's, and a towering Mobil station piercing the blue sky. It’s a beautiful, moving time capsule of heavy steel, chrome, and endless asphalt.

This bustling strip in Austin, Texas has since been completely swallowed by time. If you stood here today, the analog charm is gone, replaced by sleek digital gas stations, modern concrete, and the fast-paced rush of the tech era. The revolutionary Chevy Citation leading our way has long faded from the roads, transforming from a common daily driver into a rare, bittersweet ghost of a decade we'll never forget.
