“It’s just kind of like a funny memory,” Gabby Williams says, “like my life came full circle.”
Williams is talking about muscle cars: those she saw at the “sideshows” she attended with family in Oakland and those she now endorses for Ford. “Everyone just goes and, like, spins muscle cars around,” Williams explains. “And it was always the girls watching the dudes, and I never once thought that, like, it was very rare when a woman was driving it.”
And when a woman did commandeer the steering wheel, the crowd would go wild because of the novelty. “But why do muscle cars have to be for men?” Williams asks. “Now, we have this muscle car that’s, like, built by women, built for women.”
